The 'Orion car' could refer to a few different beasts, but if you're chatting about the Ford Orion, you're looking at a compact sedan sibling to the trusty Escort. Launched in the early ’80s, it was Ford's attempt to slap a boot on the Escort hatch, giving buyers a bit more boot space without breaking the bank.
Key specs: Usually packing a modest 1.3 to 1.6-litre petrol engine, manual or automatic options, and basic tech by today's standards. New? Forget it, they're long gone from showrooms—used prices on Tradingpost or CarShowroom can be as low as a few hundred bucks for a tired example up to a couple thousand for a mint classic.
