Is it an early injection?  Injection  Nice. My Uncle had an A-reg non-injection Ghia. As a youngster, I was impressed with it, especially the velour seats! |

Very nice, remember lads who had these in the late 80's fitting XR3 egg poachers and then a few had the S1 turbo wheels. My old man had the 1.6 GL same year as the one youve got and how great we thought it was compared to the mk 4 cortina that it replaced Has it still got the cassette holder and joystick control for the speakers? Didn't the Orion 1.6 have the same engine as the XR3i but without the insurance premium?  |

Very smart. One of my old mates had a supped up version back in the early nineties. Used to have a bit of a dual carriageway show down regular. Nothing silly mind, not seen one for years now. Passed a parked up MK3 Cortina the other day, light blue, looked in great nick |
