1989 Escort MK4 XR3i Cabriolet Limited *****Sold***** SOLD

I have owned this limited edition Aqua Blue Escort Cabriolet since it was 2 years old. It came to me Stolen and recovered in 1991 and had missing wheels and interior. I replaced interior with original cabriolet rear seat but front seats are Cobra so not original. Also the wheels are not original XR3i wheels. The bonnet is GRP and slightly modified around the lights as was common back in the 90s. This could easily be put back to original or just accepted as is.

Mileage listed is guesstimated due to clocks not original.

Currently no MOT but I don’t think that it will take to much to get it through.

Engine starts on the button and runs well.

I had planned to keep this car all of my life but due to a change of circumstances it has been off the road for the past 5 years. There are little signs of rust coming through behind the body kit on wheel arches so could do with a little attention there before it gets to bad. Just before I took it off the road 5 years ago I welded a couple of patches on the front cross member for MOT and also under battery tray. I took this opportunity to sprays plenty of underseal around these areas.

I would recommend thorough inspection of the vehicle before purchase of the vehicle to reassure yourself of the condition. All I know currently is that is was pretty good underneath 5 years ago. She has had a couple of original colour resprays in her life which I believe has kept rust at bay quite well. It needs to be understood that tis is a project and will need some attention to make it a great car.

It has an all aluminium radiator and expansion tank. Engine starts and runs well but may need a battery unless I can get one in the meantime. The heater matrix has been bypassed as it developed a leak and I have not had time to replace it.

Power roof still operates but could do with a bit of lubrication and use to free it off (just needed a little nudge to help it but not bad going for 5 years out of use. It had a new mohair roof a few years ago which is in great condition albeit needing a good clean and proof.

Also has wind deflector that covers back seat and being front seats which makes it much less drafty with the roof down.

Other bits:
Very new Alpine head unit with blue tooth
Amplifier Infinity 6x9” rear speakers and 12" Infinity sub, this will probably need the wiring looking at but nothing too taxing to get it working and maybe some new front speakers.

I hope this car goes to the right kind of owner who is looking for a good restoration project as I would love to see this car preserved and live on many years into the future.
