Escort was the 5 door hatch and the Orion was the 4 door saloon.
Thanks for clearing that up Panel. It’s great to have someone who actually knows their shit on here.
I don't think that is correct, the Escort was also a saloon.

I'm no expert in the car field Vikkiz, just saying that the Escort was Not necessarily a hatchback.

The escort saloon/coupe Ken is talking about is the older model.The Orion model was the saloon version of a later Escort.Two or three generations later.

^^^^^Yeah it does look like a car boot sale lads.Cant remember.I'd most of yisser baby photos are in black and white.

The ford Orion didn’t exist pre 1983 when escorts were escorts with a 4 door saloon option.

So you could have a 4 door saloon Escort before 1983, but after 1983 they were known as Orion’s.
