Factoid Extra: Yes, it’s 40 this year & yes, it was an effective example of how to create a booted version of a hatchback (plus position it higher in the market), but you’d probably struggle to find anything noteworthy about the Mk1 Ford Orion.

But you’d be wrong…

Apparently the car was the 1st production car with an aerial integrated into the rear window element.

Ok, not earth-shattering, but it’s the kind of tedious trivia I’ve always liked…
