1985 Ford escort XR3I For Sale

This beautiful example of classic 80s motoring is an absolute time warp, sitting on its original clover wheels she exudes classic retro vibes of better times gone by.
A higher quality German model she has benefitted from a recent light restoration, now she wears a brand new german made Mohair roof complete with heated glass rear screen. Underneath its the absolute opposite of traditional retro fords, She has never been welded. All arches, sills and ancillaries are just as good as the day she rolled out of Saarlouis.

She drives like an absolute dream, with a power output that puts many modern cars to shame. she burbles with that classic CVH soundtrack. Pulling through all the gears faultlessly she makes you smile like its 1985 again, and the spectators around you cant help but turn their heads and admire a small slice of 80s retro history. The RS1600i upgrades ensure you feel that wind through your hair whilst she handles the road with confidence and style. Classic fords are currently benefiting from an average of 15% rise in value year on year, a significantly better return than any saving account. You could enjoy this piece of history for a few happy years and then make a healthy return, but lets be honest this car is to be enjoyed and celebrated, for it represents a time of fast care free living, no masks, no ABS, no PAS, just you the driver and the thrill of the open road.

Any Questions or inspections are absolutely welcomed, If the asking price is met, we can deliver the vehicle to you (mainland U. K. only)

To clarify, this is an Original XR3i but in the RS1600i upgrades it’s had a Webber carbs fitted, the original wiring loom and plugs are present for the original injection system if you wanted to convert it back over.
