(November 2007) Ford Orion Overview Manufacturer Production July 1983–September 1993 Assembly, United Kingdom, Germany, Body and chassis 4-door, Related Powertrain 1296 cc ' 1296 cc ' 1598 cc ' 1753 cc ' 4-speed 5-speed 3-speed Chronology Predecessor (1968–1980) Successor Saloon (1993) The Ford Orion was a ( in ) that was produced by from 1983 to 1993. A total of 3,534,239 units were sold during the car's 10-year life. The Ford Orion was based on the, but instead of the Ford Escort's, the Ford Orion had a separate, making it a four-door. Visually the Ford Orion's rear end and greater rear overhang make it readily distinguishable from the Escort. Ford Orion GL Mark I In the early 1980s, Ford's model line-up and image was changing, reflecting shifting patterns in the new car market across Western Europe at this time, as front-wheel drive gradually became more popular than and began to eclipse traditional saloons and estates.
The company's older line-up was replaced mainly by, starting with the in 1980 and the new (which replaced the ) in 1982. By 1985, even the top-of-the-range would offer a bodystyle, with the and models not debuting until the early 1990s, while a version of the Sierra was finally launched in 1987. Launched in September 1983, the Orion was designed to fill the market demand for a traditional four-door saloon, which had been absent from the Escort range since the end of MK2 production in 1980, and also in larger cars by the demise of the hugely popular Cortina in 1982. The Orion looked similar to a contemporary Escort at the front apart from the different grille design, but the rear of the Orion had a long flat boot (making the car a three-box saloon design) rather than a hatchback or body like the Escort. Although the Orion's length was similar to that of the contemporary (then only available as a hatchback) it had more rear legroom and a larger boot.
This concept was similar to the, the saloon version of the hatchback which had been on sale since 1979. Ford initially offered the Orion in only GL and trim levels, missing out on the lower specification levels available on the Escort, as well as the basic 1100cc engine. Only 1300 cc and 1600 cc options were available from launch (though with both and options on the 1.6 Ghia). A lower specification L model was introduced in 1984, as was the option of a 1.6 on L and GL models. The Orion Ghia 1.6i standard features included, sunroof, sport front seats, electric windows, rear head restraints, tachometer and an information binnacle informing the driver when the vehicle needed maintenance. All of these features were rare equipment on a small family car in the 1980s, giving the Orion upmarket pretensions.
The Orion 1.6i shared an engine with the Escort XR3i and offered similar performance and handling without the insurance unfriendly tag that the XR badge started to command in the late 1980s due to its popularity with car thieves - and it was also less frequently targeted by thieves than the Escort XR3i or RS Turbo. The 1.6i was topped by a luxury limited edition called the 1600E in the autumn of 1988, the 1600E name harking back to the Mark II Ford Cortina 1600E from 20 years earlier, as both were considered to be well-equipped saloon cars with decent performance for the working person. The Orion 1600E was available in black, white and metallic grey and had RS alloys, wood cappings on the dashboard and doors, and grey leather seats. Only 1,600 were made, of which 1,000 had leather trim.
With the facelift in 1986, Ford brought the styling and engineering of the Orion closer to the Escort's and lower-specification models crept into the range along with equipment levels being brought together between the two cars, and helped Orion sales increase further. The Orion also gained the new 1.4 'lean burn' petrol engine which was added to the Escort at this time. The success of the Orion across Europe, particularly in Britain (where it was among the top 10 selling cars every year from 1984 to 1990), was followed by several other manufacturers launching saloon versions of their popular hatchbacks. By 1986, had launched a saloon version of its / hatchback, which was sold as the on the British market., on the other hand, made use of a design for its new saloon, which was launched in 1984 and gave buyers a booted alternative to the hatchback, although with a totaly different platform, as the true booted variant of the Maestro was the larger and more upmarket Montego. The Orion was launched around the same time as the, saloon and estate versions of the (Strada in Britain), although the Regata was aimed further upmarket at cars like the.
The Orion was a strong seller in Britain, peaking as the seventh best selling car in 1987 and 1988 with over 70,000 sales each time. Orion Mark II (1986–1990). Ford Orion Mark II March 1986 saw the Orion getting the same facelift as the rest of the Escort range.
The Mark II brought the option of anti-lock-brakes and a heated front windscreen to the range. The CVH engines were upgraded and were now 'lean burn units' and various models in the range could run on fuel without modifications to the cylinder head or to the fuel system. Improved locks were fitted across the range, and a number of other improvements were carried out including new suspension and gearbox mounts, updated interior and trim changes, improved soundproofing and revised steering and suspension settings. Trim levels now included the previously deleted L, Biscane (special edition) LX, Equipe (special edition) GL, GLS (special edition), Ghia Injection and from 1988 the 1600E (special edition). Orion Mark III (1990–1993) The final version of the Orion was launched in September 1990, but received the same criticism from the motoring media that the fifth generation Escort endured for its lack of design flair as well as the disappointing refinement of some of its engines — particularly the 1.3 and 1.4-litre CVH petrol units. As with the Escort, the arrival of the 16 Valve engines and changes in 1992 improved the Orion's dynamic qualities.
The Mk3 was identified at the front by clear indicator lenses and by a chrome bar that ran through the radiator grill. The range topping Orion Ghia Si (sports injection) had 130 bhp (97 kW) out of its 1.8L Zetec unit, making this the fastest production model Orion that Ford produced through the car's 10 year life, with a top speed of 126mph. A facelift to the Escort and Orion in September 1992 also saw many major improvements. This version of the Orion was not quite as popular as the pre-1990 versions, just missing out on a place in the top 10 best selling cars in Britain in 1991 and 1992.
Brazilian built 1994 Ford Verona/Orion. Trim levels were:. L (1992–1993), 1.8 diesel. LX (1990–1993), 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 16v petrol, 1.8 diesel. GLX (1990–1991), 1.3, 1.4, 1.6 petrol (dropped after 1991). Ghia (1990–1993), 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 16v petrol, 1.8 diesel.
Ghia Si (1992-1993), 1.8 16v petrol In September 1993, Ford deleted the Orion nameplate, and the Escort nameplate was used on all bodystyles. This was a move that Vauxhall had previously done with its in 1991. The slow-selling Escort saloon was discontinued in 1998, after the launch of the saloon, although the hatchback and estate versions lasted until 2000. References.
1969 Ford Capri MkI 1600 GT XL Overview Manufacturer Production December 1968 – December 1986 Body and chassis Mid-size Related The Ford Capri is a built by between 1968 and 1986, designed by American, who was also involved in the design of the. It used the mechanical components from the Mk2 and was intended as the European equivalent of the. The Capri went on to be a highly successful car for Ford, selling nearly 1.9 million units in its lifetime. A wide variety of engines were used in the Capri throughout its production lifespan, which included the and at the top of the range, whilst the and engines were used in lower specification models. Although the Capri was not officially replaced, the was effectively its replacement after the later car's introduction to the European market in 1992. 1977 Capri II 3000 Ghia Overview Manufacturer Also called Production 1974–1978 Assembly, United Kingdom, Germany Body and chassis Powertrain 1.3 L 1.6 L 1.6 L 2.0 L 2.0 L 2.3 L 3.0 L 4-speed 3-speed Dimensions 100.7 in (2,559 mm) Length 166.9–169.8 in (4,240–4,313 mm) Width 66.9 in (1,698 mm) Height 53.4 in (1,357 mm) 2,149.5–2,513.3 lb (975–1,140 kg) Chronology Predecessor Ford Capri Mk I Successor Ford Capri Mk III On 25 February 1974, the Capri II was introduced. After 1.2 million cars sold, and with the, Ford chose to make the new car more suited to everyday driving with a shorter bonnet, larger cabin and the adoption of a rear door (accessing a 630-litre boot).
This made it the first Ford to feature a hatchback - at a time when the hatchback was becoming increasingly popular in after first being patented by in the mid 1960s. By the standards of the mid 1970s, the Capri II was a very well evolved vehicle with very few reliability issues. Series X & GP1 The Mark II and Mark III 3.0 litre X-pack special performance options pack for the Capri were offered between 1977 and 1980.
Capri 280 The last run limited edition Capri 280, nicknamed 'Brooklands' referring to the name of the particular shade of green that all Capri 280 models were painted in, featured a, full leather interior and 15 inch versions of the seven spoke 13 inch wheels fitted to the superseded Capri Injection Special. Ford originally intended to make 500 turbo charged vehicles (by Turbo Technics) complete with gold alloy wheels and name it the Capri 500 but a change of production planning meant a name change to Capri 280 as the cars were simply the last models that ran down the production line. A total of 1,038 Capri 280s were built. When the last Capri was made on 19 December 1986 at the Ford factory in Cologne, exactly 1,886,647 Capris had rolled off the production lines. The last Capri made (registered as D194 UVW) still exists today, and is owned by Ford's heritage workshop. The 'Brooklands' models had a steep price tag of around £12,000 and struggled to sell. Sales continued through 1987 and 1988, with the last 280 being registered on 20 November 1989 (registration mark G749 NGP) making it also the only G-reg Capri, and the next-to-last Capri to have been registered – though it is estimated that there are 3 Capri 280s that have never been registered, one of them being a 230 HP Turbo Technics conversion, and two standard cars.
Production had ended at Halewood, UK in 1976 and the Capri was made exclusively in Germany from 1976 to 1986. Most of those (more than a million) were the Mk I, because the Mk I sold well in North America and Australia, while the Mk II and Mk III were only exported outside Europe (to Asia and New Zealand) in limited numbers.
1973 Mercury Capri 2600 From 1970 to 1978, the Capri was sold in North America through Ford's - Division. All were German-produced.
Headlamps were four round sealed-beams (shared with the Capri RS3000), and turn signal lamps were grille-mounted on all US-spec 1971–74 Capris and 1976–78 Capri IIs. Full instrumentation wasn't available on 1971–72 four-cylinder models but was made standard equipment from 1973 on. An optional interior decor package, changed by name to the 'Ghia' package for the Capri II, featured deluxe interior trim and features.
1973 Ford Capris were the Mk I face-lift models featuring the new grille, larger taillights and new interior and dash. The 1973 model had the federally mandated 2.5 mph front bumper for '73.
The bumper was extended, the gap closed with a silver filler panel. 1974 models had larger bumpers front and rear with wraparound, body-color bumper covers to meet the revised Federal front and rear 5 mph standard. 1976–78 models were the re-designed hatchback models offered worldwide since 1974, fitted with the grille-mounted turn signal lamps and the required round sealed-beam headlamps, 5 mph body-color bumpers and, requiring no-lead fuel. In 1976, an 'S' (JPS) special edition featured black or white paint with gold-coloured wheels, gold pin-striping, and upgraded two-tone interior in beige and black. Due to late production of Capri IIs, there were no 1975 models sold in the USA (Lincoln-Mercury dealerships had an inventory of leftover 1974 models during the 1975 model year as seen on TV advertisements). Unlike the European market where the Capri was available in several trim levels and marketed as the equivalent of a Grand Touring automobile, the USA/Canada market Capris were marketed as an compact sports car.
1974 Capri 2800, with bigger safety bumpers Originally, Cologne-built Capris imported to North America were fitted only with the British 1600 (1.6 L), 64 hp (48 kW) engine with the four-speed manual transmission. The 1971 Capri offered the Kent-built 1600 I4 and the optional, Cologne-built 2000 (2.0 L) I4 engine for improved performance with 101 hp (75 kW). An optional three-speed automatic transmission (a Ford Cruise-o-Matic C4, also shared with the Pinto) was made available with the 2000 I4 engine. In 1972–73, the 2000 I4 became the standard engine, and an OHV 2600 (2.6 L) Cologne V6 was optional, which produced 120 hp (89 kW). The 1600 I4 was dropped.
For 1974, new engines were used—the OHC 2300 (2.3 L) I4 and OHV 2800 (2.8 L) Cologne V6; producing 88 hp (66 kW) and 105 hp (78 kW) respectively. The engines were carried over for the 1976–77 Capri ll models, although the V6's power had crept up to 109 hp (81 kW) at 4,800 rpm. The last Capris were brought in 1977 although sales continued into 1978. Capri sales had slid considerably by the time of the introduction of the Capri II, and the high price contributed to ending sales of German-built Capris in the US.
Australia Mark I (1969-1972) The assembled the European-designed Capri Mark I at its plant in the Sydney suburb of Homebush from 1969 until 1972. The Capri was offered in the Australian market from 3 May 1969, as the 1600 Deluxe and the 1600 GT, using the 1.6 L OHV engine. On 25 February 1970, the 3000 GT was launched, equipped with the 3.0 L.
At the same time the 1600 GT became the 1600 XL while the 1600 Deluxe remained unchanged. In November 1972, production of the Capri ended in Australia, with a total of 14,638 vehicles having been assembled. In 1973, Ford Australia imported fifty Capri RS3100 models. Neither the Mk I facelift Capri nor the subsequent Mk II and Mk III models were produced in Australia. SA60 (1989-1994).

No facelift models or RS variants were marketed in South Africa. The Essex V6 was the most common engine, as it was assembled locally - the Pinto 'four' was not installed. The 1600 four and three-litre V6 were also available.
About 500 Capris were converted by specialist Basil Green Motors to run the 302. These models were known as the Capri Perana and were very successful in local touring car events, winning the 1970 South African championship and, in a different format, the 1971 championship as well.
