A rare opportunity to purchase an exceptionally original and unmodified 1990 Ford Escort XR3i, first registered on 14/12/1990 and showing just 64,652 miles from new. This example has been garaged for the last 25 years, during which it has covered only 2,047 miles, making it one of the most genuine and well-preserved XR3is available today. Mechanically, the car is strong, honest and starts, runs and drives as it should. It has a current MOT until 18 December 2025. The structure is a standout feature, this car has never been welded, which is extremely unusual for a Mk4 Escort and highlights how well it has been preserved and stored over the years. The exterior presents well for its age with straight panels, correct XR3i trim, original decals and the distinctive rear spoiler. As expected for a 34-year-old classic, there are some cosmetic imperfections and light wear to the paintwork, but nothing that detracts from the car's originality or overall appeal. The engine bay and underside remain clean, solid and presentable, reflecting long-term dry storage. Inside, the car retains its original XR3i interior, which is in excellent condition. Seats, carpets, door cards and headlining are all original, unmodified and very clean. The dashboard is crack-free, all switchgear works as expected, and the car still features its original Ford stereo. The boot area is tidy with the factory spare wheel and jack present. This XR3i is an ideal choice for a collector or enthusiast looking for a genuine car with low mileage, strong structure and all the hallmarks of a well-preserved classic. With values rising and good examples becoming increasingly scarce, this is a rare chance to secure a proper XR3i that hasn't been modified, welded or abused.
