Barn Find 80s Ford Ghia Survivor Classic - will this 1 owner car run?

[@lawrencekelly5038]

In the late 80's a friend of mine was in the tank regiment and in an army base in Berlin. His pal had just spent his savings on an Orion 1.6i Ghia. They woke up one morning, switched the news on saw that the wall had come down. Excited to see who they'd been facing up to all these years, they jumped in the Orion and went for a drive around East Berlin. Only a little while into their escapade, they came across a bunch of East German soldiers, parked up having a smoke, leaning against their tank, my pals cold war counterparts. Eager to chat, they pulled over to speak to these guys about their tank but the Germans had other ideas; the orion was of far greater interest to them. Chats were had, stories exchanged, but these guys wanted more than just words, they wanted the fast ford! A deal was there to be had, and so, that evening, my mate and his pal drove back to their base in Russian built tank, the Germans thrilled to have the latest in decadent Dagenham saloon car. Of course, their boss went mental, the idea of turning up with an East German tank, should the cold war splutter back into life in the days after the fall of the war, this could have some very serious political consequences! Under duress, the day after, knowing precisely where their adversaries were based through years of spying, they drove the tank to it's old home and got their Orion back.

[@The_0p3r8t0r]

That's an epic story

[@seanadams8504]

Love it what a story.

[@Lot76CARS]

Brilliant!!!

[@ianhoward8572]

I had one of these, just in L trim my first car in 1999. Not metallic paint. All my mates called it the German tank as it had same colour scheme. It was stolen in Port Talbot, and eventually turned up almost entirely stripped of parts (I remember even the interior lamp was removed). I’d inherited it from a family member and only had 8000 miles on it when it was stolen.

[@lucylouenglish6633]

I had a Black mk1 Ford Orion Ghia 1.6i . I loved it , I sold it in 2004

[@neiliosr8]

This was a great day Jonny if a very hot day, fish and chips on the lawn from the off licence/chip shop didn't help with the cooling down. Plans are afoot to get this back on the road👍

[@01jvb]

Neil- I'm sure a lot of people would be interested to hear how you acquired your US Escort !

[@chrisnic8894]

Chippy tea, a very suitable reward for a job well done 👍

[@Alan74_ynwa]

@@neiliosr8 Offy/Chippy..... What a combo!, almost as good as the old P.O./Offy on my road 🤣

[@leekozmiccooper7265]

Fond memories of ruining a few Orion’s..!!!! Hire cars of course 😂😂

[@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330]

Follow up episode please! And take it to the shows so people can 'meet their hero (the car, not the driver)'. I am sure that this could win Festival of the Unexceptional and delight more people.

[@turboman6680]

I've got one! 87 Orion injection Ghia with 29k genuine miles. Never welded, never painted and never failed an MOT. Great episode ♥️

[@smiddyboy1971]

Can you show some pictures if you don't mind

[@seanadams8504]

Johnny needs to come and visit you and the car

[@Vids158]

Would love to see this mate

[@andyreynolds6194]

I flipping love these barn finds, Jonny. You treat an old Orion with the same love and reverence as a laid up Aston Martin, which is so good to see. I’m so glad the channel is going from strength to strength, you deserve it mate.

[@spencerfunnell1973]

Thanks Jonny for stepping me back to 1990, I could not as a 19 year old get insurance on an XR3, so I bought a metallic gold Orion 1.6i Ghia…what an awesome motor, I had to sell it to fund my travels, but this episode bought back some lovely memories, especially that dash!!

[@itsadogslife.4318]

It was the joystick speaker control that did It for me, I thought that was the bollocks in 1989.

[@pillred5974]

It was basically the same car just with a boot added. I had the later 1.8 injection Orion, which was also much cheaper to insure despite being identical in performance to the XR3i. And despite what Johnny said about the 90 to 93 model I thought it was a great car it certainly went well.

[@spenl3x311]

I had white dials and TSW blades, did you ?

[@steveemmerson4954]

Hi Jonny, Lovely to see a Ford Orion once again after all these years. I had three in my youth, a D reg 1.3L in blue, then an F reg 1.6i Ghia and lastly a gold 1.6i Ghia which had been a previous hire car in Jersey when I bought it from my local Ford dealership. Brought back some fond memories, thank you

[@K666_ANB]

I absolutely love a Ford onion and the back seats are the best hugging seats I've ever sat and shagged in

[@darrenrichards264]

Absolutely brilliant. I've just got back from Bangers & Cash Live show in my mk1 Orion Injection Ghia and came across this. Done nearly 300 miles this weekend, and the Orion got loads of attention at the show. They were on every street corner 30 years ago, now they are almost extinct. Well done Jonny, hopefully Neil gets the car and gets it back on the road.

[@jeffshaw4553]

Well done Jonny another big classic from late 80s saved I am so glad Neil is going to recommission it and get it back on road love it.cant believe how tidy it is after being sat for good 30 years.well done guys 👍🏽

[@gsrox2007]

"The wood is a little soft" That's what she said!!😂😂

[@peppino1435]

The manual choke conversion was a Ford recall to remove/bypass the auto choke which was as much use as a chocolate saucepan. The water pipes were joined together with a piece of metal tube and secured with jubilee clips 👍

[@russellmalone3532]

Oh my how that has brought back memories of working on cvh engines. I had a xr3 and 2 and 2i and 3i several of them. My mum had an escort 1.6 ghia. Thanks Jonny once again.

[@Pignapper123]

"Gate in constant use" sign in front of the garage and it's not moved for 20 years 😂😂

[@SmallBlogV8]

I always read those signs and imagine that it's suggesting someone will be there ceaselessly opening or closing said gate/garage door/etc. over and over... which so far has never turned out to be the case.

[@Dayboot33]

if you consider the job of a gate to keep something safely shut away, then it's accurate!

[@XPLOSIVization]

Not sure why i got so emotional after hearing her start for the 1st time in such a long time, I guess i just miss seeing and hearing these cars on the road, from a era that has long disappeared just like my teen years

[@MdvK13979]

Same here! These type of cars were everywhere during my (early) youth as well. One becomes increasingly nostalgic as the years progress ;)

[@tomfield8766]

I love these kinds of videos Johnny, absolutely onto a winner with this series! It was lovely to speak to you at Bicester yesterday, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me (Mech engineering student without giving away too much personal info) Big fan of your presenting style and genuineness :)

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Thank you v much for commenting. Glad you enjoy these. Bicester was a blinder

[@spenl3x311]

I had the injection model C363 CUL in black with 15" TSW blades on in the mid 1990's as my 3rd car and loved it. Keep up the great work Jonny.

[@mattrawlingsmatt]

Was a mechanic in the 1980s and had 1 of these in the early 90s, can remember the reg! C667bhw, came to me out of the blue! I live nearby and if I can help with the restoration I would love to come and help. They used to break cambelts for fun.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

I can remember the Cambelt snapping on my father's 1988 Escort 1.4 LX back in the day. He'd just come off the motorway, and was entering a busy roundabout in Birmingham when it happened. Scary, to say the least, but we all survived. The car had been serviced by Ford the week before, so someone obviously forgot to check the belt.

[@martinthorp7609]

Brings back lots of memories. Had the 1.6 Ghia myself, wanted an injection but couldn't quite afford it back then. I even put some red insulation tape over the chrome trim to make it look like an injection! Brilliant video Jonny👍👍

[@johng7304]

I blew all my money in 1989 on a 1986 injection ghia. At 19 it was an alternative to the XR3i I really wanted.

[@SimonHarvey-i4z]

Good video love a orion ghia mk1 1.6i GHIA was my favourite I had a black d reg one back in 2000 was rotten as a pear I cut 2 coils of the springs and slammed it!!! Loved that car hopefully this guy buys this and sorts it first thing he needs to do is remove that vv carb [VARIABLE VENTURI] and throw over the nearest hedge !! And replace with a twin choke webber it will totally transform the car thanks jony really hope this guy keeps and sorts it 😊😊

[@davidparry1982]

My family are from the Ammanford area- there’s a special quality of garage rot that afflicts anything out of door around there. Amazing how good the Orion is - my cousin and I stripped my grandfather’s apparently intact MGB GT - wound up with a pair of half tidy front seats er which we put in the shed…. Lovely to see Mam come out to see her old car - ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@thebigbowler]

Puked in the back of my uncle's A-reg one when I was about 6. All on the soft pillowy grey velour 😂

[@noway6489533]

Tell you what I'm 44, my dad had a mark 1 fiesta in the 80's. And my first car was a mark 2 fiesta in late 90's. When i heard that ford trying to start and it eventually did, i had water in my eyes. So many memories from that that type of engine. 👍

[@jondrizzle4554]

Ran an mk3 escort ghia from 2012 till 2020 as a daily which was sat on a driveway for 10 years hardly any rust as it was ziebarted Best and most reliable car I've ever owned Loving this video, johnny😊

[@mattevans7884]

I had an 88 Orion Ghia inj. Best car I ever owned............I miss it to this day. Seeing this was wonderful

[@chrisnewton6393]

The CVH engine was made in the Ford engine plant in Bridgend, in the 80’s nearly everyone knew someone working in the engine plant and would use their 30% discount to buy new Fords, my sister had three new Orion’s in that era.

[@stevenpryce7808]

I had 2 x 1.6i Ghia models Caspian blue A481 YTY Silver C56 XSK I absolutely loved them,the blue 1 made all my mates jealous,bought it from my Uncle Derek who had it as a company car,it NEVER failed me,key in 1st kick & away I went,god I loved that car

[@NorthernMouse52]

I had a sunburst orange 1.6 Ghia B78 MSM, Absolutely loved that car 👍

[@adamtoms2726]

What an absolute belter of an Orion. You just don't see them about any more. I do hope this will get enjoyed by Neil.

[@chrisburton4694]

My grandad had one of these on an F reg. He died in 1996 car was then sold on. Sure it had white wheel cover and blue metallic. The spec of the electric front windows and door mirrors and I’m sure the heated screen made it one hell of a thing to a much younger me to go round in

[@anthonyfernwood8093]

When I decided I’d had enough of buying second hand cars the first new car I bought was a ford Orion, it was a brilliant car , it was so good that when I decided to sell it years later my daughter bought it, never once did it let us down.

[@andrewhaines3259]

My old boss had an Orion 1.6 Ghia injection in black. Had it from new. I had a mk3 Escort Ghia, non injection. We used to race each other home on a couple of stretches of road between Bingley and Bradford. One evening, I must have got the gear changes etc spot on, because he just couldn't shake me at all. Fun times! They put loads of speed cameras up on the stretches so put paid to that!

[@Ben-Rogue]

We never got these down here in NZ. We got a re-bodied Mazda, in the form of the Laser, which was also funny enough, re-badged as an Escort in America

[@limericklad2000]

The first car I remember my dad driving was a silver Granada Ghia with the black roof. Bloody loved that car.

[@Brickhazard]

Brings back memories my dad had a 88 1.6 Ghia Orion. Got taken to school in one in the 90's. Although his had pepper pot alloys.

[@TheDarkLandsMusic]

I was 14 or 15 when this Orion was out, there was a Ford deal down the road from us, and I used to drool over the Orion Ghia... They still look great today...

[@Jaaagdm]

So happy it’s an Orion was hoping and guessing. My grandparents had one and we had one on the college workshop before I joined the motor trade. 👍🏼 happy times

[@gary7014]

That dash takes me back,awesome find Jonny as always My dad had a champagne gold one always loved the rear head rests as well

[@oggie1967]

WOW! Fantastic find Jonny! My dad had the Orion 1.6 injection Ghia, have to say it was a weapon! Really good on fuel too! Metallic Blue it was! Great Video as usual!👍👏👏👏♥️

[@duncstewart74]

I remember when I moved to Northampton in 1993 and Ford Orions were everywhere. I was never a fan at the time, but this was a great find and in excellent condition for the age. I hope it gets restored and put back on the road soon

[@komoru]

Almost more exciting to see a now rare, ordinary car be saved than an exotic. The UK and Europe got some really interesting Ford models that the States never had. Never even knew this Ford existed.

[@ludgerodacruz1433]

I found and bought a 1989 Orion 1.4 CL in a small county town in the south of Portugal and bough it right away. Original 94K km’s drives beautifully. Interior is perfect. I’ve only changed spark plugs and rusted exhaust. Done about 9K km in the last year with zero problems

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Jonny, great find and video. I have to say most weeks I'm watching with gritted teeth as you churn them over on 20 plus year old cambelts and am so surprised one hasn't let go yet tbh.. Alex.

[@johnj3577]

Brings back fond memories of my 1.6 Ghia injection, also a B reg. Bought it off my Dad's friend with 160,000 motorway miles on it (he was a sales rep) and it ran perfectly till I sold it on. Lovely to see one again!

[@jammyone100]

1983 I did my ford apprenticeship I always wanted an Orion the 1.6 Ghia being the one to have. We did loads of valve stem oil seals on the CVH engine, (Canted Valve Hemispherical) as they used to go hard and burn oil. We even had a special tool made to replace them. Total time warp motor right there. Love it. 👍

[@gs425]

Yes I remember that special tool !!! I had a H reg 1.8 cvh sierra. Beautiful car. Never did find out if that tool would fit the 1.8 to do mine. People often moan about the cvh but mine was economical,lots of low down torque and did 185,000 before I sold it without having more than basic services.

[@jammyone100]

@@gs425 yea it did all CVH engines. Stopped the valve from dropping into the cylinder. I had a 1.8 sierra sapphire. Loved it

[@80gam]

Great video, anyone born in the 80’s or earlier has fond memories of the Ford Ghia - great video. The chap had to buy/keep the car, it was in mint condition for its age. A beauty!Jonny, keep them coming 👍

[@cheechmcduck7013]

My apprenticeship was with a local ford garage,Back in 1989 when I left school .. remember the Orion very well such a nice car to drive

[@Lot76CARS]

Wow a non injection Ghia! I had one C152HLG from 3 years old, ex fleet car as couldn’t afford insurance for the injection… lovely memories!

[@fastEdCanuck]

Great barn find again, thanks Jonnny. Another nice little Ford that we didn’t get to see in North America. I guess our closest equivalent would have been the Tempo & Topaz which were also from a modded Escort platform. The green Escort ZX2 brings back memories, my older sister had one from new in the same colour but a lower spec car with wheel covers rather than alloys. It was a good little car for her, she had it about 10 years before moving up to something a bit larger and fancier.

[@MikeLovesCars]

Cricky, this brings back a memory or two. I had a 1990 Ford Orion GLSi 1.6 (was pretty much the same CVH engine that I had in my 1985 XR3i). Didn't have it too long and was replaced with a 1990 Vauxhall Astra GTE 2.0 16v. 👍

[@pdtech4524]

Got to appreciate a Ghia spec ford. I love my Ford Focus mk2 2.0 duratec Ghia estate, I might just moth ball it in the garage, cover it in old carpet and old toys, bags of clothes, stack some old hoovers and garden tools up against it and seal it up for 10 years. I'll be in touch in 2034 Johnny....😊😁⚠️

[@ricardo1e93]

Who knew I would see once one of my favorite childhood cars in TLBS!! Thank you so much for this birthday present

[@SuperRhysevans]

Used to get a lift to school in my mates mums c reg onion, later my mum bought a 2 year old G reg mk4 both were white 1.6 Ghia's. In 1999 after passing my driving test I owned both a red mk3 and then a white mk4, happy days

[@anthonystevens8683]

A cracking find this one. In the 80's and 90's these were regular sightings on the road, possibly 1/4 of the sightings compared to the Escort hatch back. I can't remember when I last saw on on the road in any trim recently. These battled with the Vauxhall/Opel Belmont back in the day. Seeing this one live again brings a whole warm fuzzy feeling back from a time in my miss spelt older youth. Many thanks for sharing.

[@jammytimmy]

Genuinely can't remember the last time I saw that style of Orion. Used to see loads of them growing up in the 90's

[@ciaranburke3243]

The mark one orion is one my favourite cars especially in ghia form owned a couple back in the day 1.6 l and gl fond memories drove really nice for There time, thanks jonny for bringing this one, great excitement when the first garage door was moved 👍

[@jamesmacd]

Used to see them everywhere as a kid... hopefully he keeps it and gets it going.... you need a section of LBS barnfinds at the festival of the unexceptional

[@Isthatyoudermot]

Same.

[@ianboylan91]

Memories, memories. This was a special episode for me. Had the injection model on a C plate as a company car. Up and down the M1 between Nottingham and Leeds. Replaced by an F plate Cavalier 2.0sri. I knew at the time that I was very lucky to have these cars but it’s reinforced when I see a lovely car like this getting a new lease of life.

[@GrahamMales-e1x]

The Variable Venturi carb fitted to the CVH engines had automatic choke which was very temperamental and a lot of owners fitted a manual choke conversion.

[@harared831]

Had the same problem 😅

[@carsnanidiot]

Mine still works fine on my 1985 Scorpio 2.0 Carb 🙂Starts Instantly. They are fun when they run well

[@philcrockford5534]

Yes, my 1980 1.3GL had the VV carb and we fitted a manual choke kit. It also didn't have the hardened valve seats to run on unleaded so I was stuck with 4 star until I sold it to an ex girlfriend in the late 80s - hope this Orion has had the work done!

[@paulwilkinson6608]

Amazing job . As a 80s child I remember these being absolutely everywhere. My dad was a vauxhall lover. But I always lasted after the ford's.

[@ryzmodz]

It was lovely to meet you yesterday at Bicester. Thank you for the photo.

[@Ssssshhhhh1885]

Another absolute belter from one of my fav channels. OTOSOT... loving the Scania trousers and belt... you have to tell the story behind them?? 😊 CMTMB....

[@anonymous_bot_bot]

What a lovely Onion. Brings back memories.

[@kramer26]

Wow! A Mk.1 Orion, haven't even thought about one of these since the Mk.2 came out, let alone seen one! Loving the 80s synthwave soundtrack, too!

[@plunder1956]

It still surprises me that a car that once sold in tens of thousands, which could be seen everywhere, can almost entirely vanish.

[@MrStucks]

That’s rust for you!

[@philryan7254]

This has taken me back watching this video, because I used to work for a car rental company in Croydon and we had the Ford orion on the fleet they were all the 1.6 L version they were very popular with staff and the public evey one really enjoy diving them ...cheers Phil from Newark

[@johnDoe-ir3qy]

I bought a new Dagenham made XR3i in 1988. It was badly put together. A guy I knew bought an Orion Ghia and my understanding is that they were all German made and the quality of finish was far better. I exported the XR3 to Germany and recall going into a Ford Garage for body and trim issues and it being surrounded by a load of Germans pointing and shaking their heads.

[@brendonelton]

Cool to see Neil R on the late brake show! Neil is a genuinely nice guy! Keep the car in the family Neil, it's a little diamond!

[@stevenkelby2169]

Nice one Jonny 👍 🍻

[@simonatkinson1107]

One of the many family cars I got to use while I was learning to drive was one of these!! At first I thought this was going to be another Escort, all be it an 80's one, but as soon as I saw those back lights I new what is was! Ah the memories!

[@Nozes..]

Another great episode! My father worked for 30 years on the Ford factory here on Portugal,so we always were Ford all the way. I know I dreamed of a Orion driving my mk2 Fiesta 1.6D. Thank you so much for this,Johnny and team.

[@jimmyeatshoe]

A trip down memory lane for everyone! There were so many on the road they were almost ignored… now they are finally getting their moment! Another cracking episode Jonny 🎉

[@marknelson5929]

Bizarrely as this barn find was unfolding with the opening of the garage doors I knew it was going to be an Orion for some reason, even before I saw it. Great survivor.

[@dannyc4871]

Impressive how well preserved this Orion was. I had a Mk2 Orion back in the day, so this video was go great interest. All the best to the new owner on returning this rare example back to the road.

[@normalpigeon3987]

Ah, the ford onion!!

[@seanadams8504]

Cracking car Johnny be good to do a follow up video if he has the car. Great video

[@danhaines]

Interesting fact: the tail lamps are the same as the Cortina Mark 5, Ford just changed the lens to a flat one from the Cortina fluted one. You can swap then directly between the models.

[@robertallen3441]

Tip for using a round post battery on a Ford. Get a pair of battery terminals with the screws to clamp the cables. Fit them to the round posts then connect the original flat terminals to one of the screws. Didnt realise that the Orion Ghia had the same wheel trims as fitted to my 1985 mk 1 Sierra 1.8 Laser.

[@PurpleSectors]

I'm from Cardiff and my Dad used to have a 1.6i Ghia when I was younger, C-reg last of the Mk1's. This brings back some memories.

[@matthewheale5836]

These cars were everywhere. Now few and far between forgot what a great looking ford the Orion is the sound of the CVH brings memories flooding back.. thanks again Jonny and the owner’s.. keep the underwear and the barn find’s coming cheers Jonny 😁😁😁😁

[@simonpritchard472]

It's that boxing hamster that scared the mice away.

[@mattbell3368]

Has enough time passed now since the start of the barn finds that you are able to do "barn finds revisited"? I would like to hear about what happened to the cars but in the style of grand designs. It would be fun to find out how much longer it took to complete the re-roading of the car than the owner expected and also how ruinously expensive it was.

[@NYHeeb]

American car guy here. Love the show. On the state side the Ford escorts we got were so lame. Always loved the cosworth,RS, and all other cool cars we never got.

[@The2follow]

Oh seeing that brings back so many happy thoughts, we had a 1.8 Ghia injection, we were the second owners of it, it was a J reg. loved it.

[@okeycokey7391]

Great to see. Bought back memories of the one I had back in the day. B429 CVX. Mine was a non metallic blue with the automatic gearbox.

[@kerriegreen6904]

Thank-you again for a brilliant video. Love your passion ❤️

[@keithbowen9561]

Had a G Reg 1.6i Ghia back in the day. Blydenstein A-Pack head and Jetex exhaust. Made 120bhp on the dyno - it was quick back in the day. Great memories

[@dav999v]

This was special for me, as my late father had a C Giha in dark blue. But he had pepper pot alloys on it. Mint car for the period. Enjoy all you barn finds. Keep up with the good work 👍🤝

[@loftyRST]

Lovely and original that Jonny. 100% Nimbus Grey Metallic as my dad bought new in 1985 a mk1 Sierra Laser in exactly the same colour. They even used the Orion Ghia 13” wheel trims on the Sierra Laser as well. Hope it gets a sensitive recommissioning and sees the road again

[@darylnicklen3685]

Thanks for bringing this episode what a true gem of a car looks good runs well as you could ever expect for 20 years old petrol. I hope Neil can enjoy the car he passed up 30 years ago.

[@Nathan.Guthrie]

back in the day and all that, my dad had a couple of these. One of them managed to set itself on fire about a week after picking it up brand new. This happened on the road just outside the supplying dealer so Dad parked it right outside the showroom window, threw the keys on the salesman's desk and walked to work without another word.

[@davemoore5222]

My first brand new car was an ‘87 1.6i Orion Ghia in Mercury Grey metallic, alloy wheels with full manufacturer spoiler pack. It looked absolutely amazing. It drove wonderfully. It had ABS brakes and a fantastic sound system with graphic equaliser. I loved that car. Wish I still had it, although in those days my mileage was quite high so it probably wouldn’t have lasted.

[@andypatch1861]

This one of my fave barn finds u done Johnny. Had a 1.8 CVH in a Sierra back in the day, and knew exactly the moment that bby was about to fire up, luv it!

[@LoftechUK]

I used to work for JEWLES OF WATFORD as the valet for all the new cars. This model is one of the beauties I cleaned among many classics.

[@edgarbeat2851]

I love stuff like that. Crazy how some survive.

[@Chainwrangler001]

Amazing what a squirt down the carb & just trying it will bring. One can always clean out the system after she fires. Mebe its just too much time working American iron... sometimes the easiest solution is best. Love you, Johny... thx for sharing your finds🙏🏼

[@YNWA_Matt78]

Oh yes Jonny 👏🏻. I had a mk2 1.6i Ghia on a G plate with 17” TSW blades, Peco big bore exhaust and a massive sub box in the boot that probably weighed about the same as having four people in the car 🤣.

[@Lucan-ve6zc]

Jonny's getting so good with the foam gun that, for a moment I thought I was watching an episode of Ammo NYC.

[@stepheng8779]

All the best with this Neil, hope it goes well 👍

[@eoink8219]

Very enjoyable thank you .Makes me realise how lucky I was to find my 1981 Taunus 2.3 Ghia 2 years ago which is in fabulous original condition !

[@scottcallis3491]

Had one on a D reg in the early 90's, I loved it. Thanks for the memories I thought I'd long forgotten. :-)
