Scared that it will be delivered as a BF II. So will wait till I am sure it will be the Orion that's delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this person doesnt work in Ford - he works in a section that buys fleet cars. Well, if anyone can tell me better, would appreciate it.By the way, soz if this has already been shown here but saw this link todayhttp://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...ArticleID=43409which had this pic of the XR6. Think it may be an early pic cos the turning indicators are still on the front quarter panels rather than the side mirrors. On the camo'ed prototypes I saw, they definitely had tape over the side mirrors suggesting the indicators would be on em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
