Excellent. These old Fords never die. Even when the body is rusty they can be patched up. I hope this one gets to live again.

Amazing Ford Escort!!!! In Brazil we had the XR3 with a Renault-Cleon based engine so-called CHT with 1.6L, making around 85hp, later on it was fitted with a Vw/Audi EA-827 1.8l with around 100hp, making the car more sporty and a better competitor to the Vw Gol GTi, and Chevrolet Kadett GSi. and with the new face-lifted version it had the 2.0 Vw Ea-827 with around 110hp. It's a great car!

Excellent car, I had two, the first a 1985 XR3 1.6 manufactured in Brazil only to be exported to Germany, already with a sunroof and other extras for that market! I got it second-hand because it had been brought in for diplomatic use! Then in 1991 I had another XR3 but it was 1.8 with VW motorcycles which was an agreement between both brands and also made in Brazil, fully equipped and jaguar blue, with the new cross-spoke tires, it was a beauty and both were a pleasure to drive and demand!

The red one is a weird mixture: 1.6 engine with 105hp and front bumper from the XR3i, but the rest of the car seems to be a "Bravo" (rather basic special edition in Germany). But the stripped out white Escort on the other hand is an original XR3i.

@Mind-your-own-beeswax Жыл бұрын

The bravo was the same here in the UK. As you say the red one isn’t an XR3i unlike the white one. Wonder where the cloverleaf wheels went? Actually can’t remember if the MK4 had cloverleaf wheels or just the MK3

@Timico1000 Жыл бұрын

@@Mind-your-own-beeswax Oh...i don't remember either. I only know for sure that the Mk4 XR3i came as standard with hubcaps (designed like a telephone dial, painted in white) or with optional alloys (kind of cross-spoke). I think maybe the cloverleaf alloys ended with the Mk3.
