I was working for Ford of Europe in 1990 and Ford had a special offer on these - free insurance for the first year ! Can you imagine we were all 21 years old and this was like the gift of gifts ! We also had the employee discount on top of that. All my mates bought them new. I had a 2.8i Capri and the time, so the XR2i were known as 'toy cars'... the Capri being a proper man's car ha ha ha :) Anyway, they were great.

Perhaps offer the spares you want to scrap to the owners club. As you know with older cars it’s the silly things you can’t find and a bit of goodwill with the club would go a long way when you are looking for unobtanium

I had an H registered one of these in white and suffer from OCD. Used to clean under the spare wheel area with a toothbrush. No food, drinks allowed in car and it was kept in garage if it rained. We had to take the bus.Sold it for more than I paid for it. Used to give the teenagers in their souped up Vauxhall Nova's a run for their money.

@@mikej557 instead of the few pence he will get in scrap, he could give them to subscribers that might need them. Apart from that, they are worth more as used parts than scrap, but obviously they don't need the money, so it doesn't matter to them.

In 1990 I wanted to upgrade from my 1987 XR2 in red to the newer 1990 XR2i model but my finances would not stretch by a few hundred pounds. I settled for a Vauxhall Nova 1.4SR instead. That was a bit of a mistake and to add insult to injury Ford discounted the XR2i price by about £500 two weeks after I bought the Nova. I really like Ford hot hatches of this era.

I can perfectly understand that smile on your face, Rob. I feel the same when people are comming around in those old beauties. I love old and fast Fords, but absolutely not old VW's. Fiesta's and Escorts are real cars. I had an Escort with a 130 hp engine. It showed it's rearwheels to a BMW. He couldn't believe that a Ford 1,6 could do that. I don't know who did the tune-up on it, but it was pure fun to drive. Have fun with that Fiesta, and make some good money too. That's what it's all ut.about. And I'm sure, that you guys will make that car nothing less than perfect. Rare and perfect.

A bit like buses, you wait for one and. . . . . It does prove that there are still some around that are not rot boxes. I think the young people whose era this was will be very happy to own this one and at a good price. I hope whoever buys it will get it resprayed straight away and take it to some shows because it deserves to be shown as a survivor. I think you have done the right thing with this car Rob you don't have the time as a company to do a full restoration so selling it on as a run and drive is wise. Take care Rob and Chris and thanks for the video. 👍👍
