1989 Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet – low owners and super history from day one

For a big blast of 80’s nostalgia we are delighted to offer this super honest example of the MK4 XR3i Cabriolet. It always strikes us when we get back in one of these what a superb drive they are – flying around the lanes, listening to the iconic revvy engine and flying up and down the super smooth gearbox takes us back to chewed up cassette tapes and Dempsey & Makepiece.

This car has a rare and unusually well documented history; originally a main dealer demonstration car its had just 2 subsequent keepers & unusually retains the original handbooks & wallet, a fully stamped service book with supporting hardcopy bills and even the original Bill of Sale & Warranty to the first owner (warranty now expired).

Finished in Diamond White with the iconic grey/red check cloth interior, features include:
-Electric Front windows
-Manual Hood
-Tonneau Cover
-Bluetooth
-Over mats
-3 Keys

Recently subject to an extensive recommission, including but not limited to:

-Strip and repaint in Diamond White
-Replacement Soft top
-Full service including cambelt, pulley and water pump
-New front discs and pads
-New rear shoes
-4 x new Toyo proxies
-New rear exhaust
-New Fuel Tank
-Fuel Pump

Unusually this car is rock solid – we can’t even find any evidence that it’s been previously welded, and invite any inspection.

Whilst the odometer shows 34,000 it has covered 134,000 miles (an average of 3,800 per year) with the superb, and rare, documented history back to day one.

HPI clear and supplied with 12 Months MOT – it’s ready to go!

More photos coming soon.
