1990 FORD ESCORT XR3i — SUPPLIED NEW BY OURSELVES
A genuinely rare opportunity: an Escort XR3i that we supplied new from this very dealership in 1990, now returned to us for resale some 36 years later.
Finished in Radiant Red — one of only four colours offered on the Mk4 XR3i — over multi-spoke alloy wheels, the car presents beautifully throughout. This is a 90-spec car, running Ford's own EEC-IV electronic fuel injection on the 1.6 CVH engine, mated to the five-speed manual gearbox.
CONDITION
Anyone who knows these cars knows where to look, so we will save you the trouble. The battery tray is sound and the spare wheel well and surround are equally good — the two areas that finish off most surviving Escorts of this era. We would encourage any prospective buyer to inspect the car thoroughly; it stands up to it.
HISTORY
The history file is the highlight here. Full service history is present, together with the original bill of sale from when the car left our showroom new. Also still with the car are the original radio removal tools — the sort of small item that is almost always long lost on a car of this age, and a good indication of how this one has been looked after.
Our own dealer sticker remains in the windscreen and on the rear plate, exactly as fitted when the first owner took delivery.
PREPARATION
Supplied with a fresh MOT and a full service, having been prepared by our own workshop.
