I see your lexus is/was a turbo possibly twin turbo yeah ? What capacity was this engine ? Every soarer I've seen was a v8, the same engine as the ls400 Whats was with the cut steering wheel, thought ya were the knightrider lol ! Your xr2 and saphire though looked genuinely nice. ___________________ THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT !
xr is RS1800I THE Best production fiesta made. had drims on rear not discs though. Yes went for the night rider stile, the problem was takes two and a half rotations to full lock. pmsl I loved that bumper its hanging in my garden now. did stand out kids called it the green monster. saph is pretty good needs minor parts. main part is could do with new carb, posmanifold if fitted differnt carb. The Toyota is 2500cc straight 6 Tiwn turbo 280 BHP approx ___________________ Always learning
im a bit of a ford man, so ive owned a few including escort mk 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 orion mk 2, capri mk 2, 3, sierra mk 2 saph gls, azura hatch but for me the best standard production car for possing on a limited bubget was one of these, 1989 orion 1600e in raven black below is a picture of one, not mine tho, but here's a picture for all of the people who have never seen one, i think they were about £12,000 when new, i bought mine when it was about 7 years old, and cost £2,795 with an aledged 66,000 on the clock 
soz folks don't like Fords had a Corsair auto yuk ! worst auto ever! and I have had and i've had a few Hated it so much never even took a pic of it Al ___________________ if it aint broke don't fix it !

I do think at times ford are resting on there popularity laurels a bit. Dont get me wrong some of them are good to drive it's just when they go wrong the quality of the components can be pretty shocking. Have to admit to liking the older generation fords though like the mk 1 & 2 granada, mk 2 &3 capri and mk 3,4 & 5 cortina's, yeah they rusted away to nothing but they were easy to work on and the engines were generally quite hardy. ___________________ THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT !
yeah the orion 1600e made 1988-89 i think it was a run-out model, i think it was almost the same spec as the 1600i ghia, but had leather seats, bbs alloys, mine had a genuine ford 3 legged spoiler, similar to the 2 legged one's on the normal 1600i ghia i was told by the ford dealer i bought it from that they were made in only two colours, either raven black or mercury grey, but ive seen white ones in auto trader and on ebay, but weather they are a genuine 1600e i dont know, i did see a very nice one on ebay last summer, 2 owners, very low miles, used as a show car sort of thing, just a shame it was in scotland tommy 
Seem to remember the 2000E sierra only coming in met blue and some other colour as well. Like the orion the 2000e had leather but also had aircon which was a bit of a novelty at the time. ___________________ THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT !

just out of interest, ive spotted a 1600e on ebay, see photo, they are stating the 1600e has something to do with "tickford", i havent heard this story before, i can remember a tickford turbo capri, ive only seen white one's, but i prefer the brooklands 280 tommy
