Classic Ford

From: UK Car: Mk2 Orion We absolutely love an Orion around here, and with fewer and fewer of them on the roads these days, it’s truly a pleasure to see a nicely-finished example of the booted Mk4 Escort on the scene. Kieran’s Orion has been properly modded in the oldschool style too, giving us all sorts of happy memories of 1990s car park cruises! We’re looking at the classic RS Turbo conversion, which has had its head rebuilt and is now running Cosworth management. Continuing the Cossie theme, you’ll find a set of Recaros inside which once called a Sierra RS Cosworth home, while the coolest element of all is that bodykit: it’s no aftermarke­t affair — no, those who know their retro onions will tell you that this was a dealer- option RS kit. While they never made an Orion RS, the option of an RS bodykit really sharpened up the lines — with this fitted, you’d have been King of the seafront back in the ’90s!

 ??  ?? Kieran’s Orion has been given the classic RS conversion, right down to the turbocharg­ed CVH.
