I've always had a soft spot for the old Orion, especially Mk1s. I remember watching trainloads of 'em pass through Ipswich from Harwich before they were announced and being laughed from the pub for mentioning an "Escort with a boot"... boy did I have the last laugh there! A work colleague managed to collar a 1.6Ghia as his company car; many a time I'd follow it as it twitched its ar53 round corners (the old Ford Hop) - someone else in the workshop got one and they actually had a punch-up over the fact one had heated door mirrors and the other hadn't.... sad bstards ;D

That's a nice Orion and in my favourite Ford colour too! In my opinion, as it's at least 18 years old, how can it not be retro?
