Das war mein erstes Auto was ich mir gekauft habe, nachdem ich meinen Führerschein endlich in der Tasche hatte. Ein Ford Escort xr3 mit doppel Webervergaser. Und genau so wie hier, in Rot, Felgen, Schiebedach, mickey Mäuse usw. Ein Traum von einem Auto. Danach folgten Xr3i, RS 2000 und Escort cosworth, der steht immer noch bei mir.
Und ich hatte einen ESCORT XR3i Bj. 83 in schwarz, einen XR3i Bj. 84 in titangrau, einen ESCORT RS TURBO Bj.88 in rot, Bj. 86 titangrau, Bj. 89 in weiss, und einen ESCORT RS 2000 Bj. 92 in rot ! 😅🚘
I couldn’t afford the real thing back in the 70s but I managed to buy a nice 3 door 1300 in red and set about completely converting it to an XR3 lookalike. Happy days! 😊😁😊😁
She's Sunburst as in the description. If only we could turn her upside down.....she's the same on the underside. Why not visit our website and enjoy all the pics too.
Hard to believe this slow and noisy "Rattlebox" was the car to have in the early 1980's. Around about 96 BHP factory standard and at best a fuel consumption of around 30 MPG in the Real World..NOT what it says in the owner's manual. The vast majority of cars from 2023 would run over the top of this so-called "Hot hatch" Oh did I mention the soft CVH engine that would blow up very easily if you drove this car hard. This car was a "Step backward" over the MK 2 Ford Escort RS2000.
Amazing how times move on. The RS2000 is beloved by thousands we agree, but these early XR3/i /RS1600 models are now coveted by many too and the Show Quality restoration of this example has to be appreciated.
@@absoluteclassiccars5050 Thanks for the reply ..This car is indeed in superb condition. This car is not for me ..I owned one the first time around many years ago. Thank you for this video.
I think that you should compare like with like… for example, a 2023 911 will slaughter an 80’s 911 turbo Like wise the same is true here, though at the time 9 sec to 60 was fast, still respectable today, my 2023 Peugeot 308 with 130PS is over 10 sec to 60.
Beautiful from every angle. Love the MK3 escort. Holds a place in my heart forever.
Brings the memories back. I had one in the same colour (Sunburst red?), what a fun car it was during the 1980s.
What a beautiful car it like new
