What car in the 80’s could come in orange with a black bonnet as standard?

What car was available around the mid 1980’s and came from factory with orange paintwork and a black bonnet as a standard option?
Sorry, should’ve really mentioned that this was a car available in the UK.

Was it the Hillman Avenger Tiger?

  10. ‘Northernscum’ is right with the Avenger but I’m not sure it was still available in the MID-eighties, The Lotus Sunbeam was available in that colour (same manufacturer as the Avenger) and I think the Opel Manta Berlinetta was.

  15. BEWARE some cars simply needed a new bonet just because it had rusted away along front edge.

    My dad had a hillman hunter estate in green and the new bonet came in matt black to be painted as required. Otherwise capri and avenger for sure
