0:54 OooOh its beautiful. I dont care that its old and slow by todays standards. That car was the car of my dreams as a little boy, and I still love it till this day.
You've nailed this Tom! I had one of these in the exact same colour around 20 years ago. So so wish I still had it! Absolutely loved that car. I had always wanted a XR2 and when one came up for sale, I bought it with the intention of selling the XR3i. I actually gave the XR2 to my Mum as I couldn't part with the 3i. Those were the days!!
I had a white XR3i on an E reg for a few years as my first car. Loved it. Lenny was right there are alot of extra's on that XR3i of yours that weren't standard. Seats , 2nd Spolier at the top of the roof line, Sunroof wind deflector.
The joy of a xr la got myself a cheap but brilliant 90 spec cabby with recaros what it lacks in power it more than makes up in putting a smile on your face with its pure innocence and adolescent brilliance.. ican proudly say AV GOT 1 ❤❤
Love it! I used to have the previous original XR3, not injection, cloverleaf alloys. My favourite is the series 1 RS turbo escort, white, previous shape.
I really hope Lenny. Urban gets one of these one day. Pure happiness that's what lifes about 👍 tbh I thought you was actually giving it to him 😆 great video.
What the?! Can’t be many around in that condition! As Lenny points out only a few bits to remove to get back to original spec. Recaro’s could probably stay. This will just go up and up and up in value!
Runs well cause it’s non turbo. There’s such a Decent circle on UA-cam Instagram and top cars that’s what it’s all about positivity no jealousy and people just doing well
Absolutely brilliant video TGE and great to lenny. As soon as I saw lenny I instantly thought of your old defender what a great video lad thanks you very much
Hi Tom Well mate what a amazing car love it Just the look on Lenny’s face is priceless, talk about a kid in a sweet shop lol , in the day I very nearly bought one, but I hung on because the New XR2i was coming out and where I lived I was one of first to own one mate loved it 😊 great video Tom thanks mate 👍👍👍👍🚗
It’s funny actually. How when we try to be cool. We’re not. And when we’re authentic we are cool. Lenny that was great. I sound like a huge fan now lmao. Just saying. From this video.
THE BEST CAR! This is like my childhood, I remember going in one for a friends birthday party when I was about 6 and I didn’t want to get out of it. Just amazing amazing cars! I miss the escort they were the ones! I miss this era of car I really do! Amazing video and I get why Lenny loves it!
When I was a young man in the eighties the middle and upper class youngsters could be recognised by their golf GTI’s and your better off working class drove this! Both were great cars but that old English social divide was so obvious by what you drove, I guess it’s still the same, I have not lived in the U.K. since 1999.
Just wondering why 2 winners 2 months apart are photographed at the same house? I have not kept up to date so maybe i am missing something just looks strange on the website thats all!
I’m in. When I was at High School a girl I fancied was collected every day at 3.30 by an older guy in an XR3i. Now I’m 46 I want to be that guy. Just joking 🤣
My friend just showed me a video from mae muller and it made me so upset. They destroyed an XR3i convertible just for a stupid music video. Like wtf. Oh btw love your car❤❤
Surprising Lenny with a dream car! Win it now right here for a few quid classicgiveaways.com/competition/1987-ford-escort-xr3i
Brilliant! Lenny’s reaction in priceless. That smile is proper genuine. 😁
Lenny loves these. Used to bang on about them on STG’s channel
102.7 Herward FM…Peterborough’s best radio back in the day
0:54 OooOh its beautiful. I dont care that its old and slow by todays standards. That car was the car of my dreams as a little boy, and I still love it till this day.

Omg,had 3 of these back in the 80’s Tom watching this I’m right back there 23 thinking I’m the bee’s knee’s lol. 😂

Lenny was genuinely happy, I think you made his whole week with that test drive lol
The nostalgia is real with that one 👌
haha Lenny is so happy. Great to see when people love cars
Seeing Lenny face priceless get some more fast Ford on the channel
lenny is a true hero, love every time he is on anyones channel
I had a white XR3i on an E reg for a few years as my first car. Loved it. Lenny was right there are alot of extra's on that XR3i of yours that weren't standard. Seats , 2nd Spolier at the top of the roof line, Sunroof wind deflector.
my first car was a yellow xr3i replica..back in 1998. wicked car
His smile is the smile I get everytime I turn the key on my xr3i. Every drive brings a smile 3 years on
I had a cab xr3i just made me smile watching this great car 😀😀
Haaaaa my old man’s first car many moons ago!!!!!
A tight box is very important... especially if it's an older model 😄😁🙃😆
Never seen Lenny with such a big smile hahaha
Looks like there’s an original XR3i coming up for auction, CCA Sat 18th June, looks awesome.
Those little Phillips Code yellow stickers on the windows are such a flashback!
This was a very fun watch from the very start to the end and everything was real like you said. Love videos like this.
🙌 thank you
Lenny knows about those, proper. They rust like crazy, the wobbly wand stick,...
My babysitter had a white one, used to be my dream car when I was 8... someone is going to be veeery happy when they win this!!
The joy of a xr la got myself a cheap but brilliant 90 spec cabby with recaros what it lacks in power it more than makes up in putting a smile on your face with its pure innocence and adolescent brilliance.. ican proudly say AV GOT 1 ❤❤
Now that's class 👌🔥... I remember my uncle had a white Xr2 , it was old when he had it , I loved the look of it and the wheels.
Love where this channel is going! So glad I stuck around after paint gate 🤣
Proper old school fun - brilliant
I was an XR2 fan but drove a RS1600 turbo which was genuinely quick- great vid 👍
Great work guys….my Dad had a mk1 RS Turbo back in the 80s wish i had it now 👊💥
Classic, Mr L is such a happy man and all down to you Mr T, another tick ✅ in the TGE box 👌
Brilliant!! You two are legends. 😂😂Love the car!!
This might be the coolest car bar the CGT and F12 in my opinion that you’ve had. Love it. Cossie or mkII next?
Love it! I used to have the previous original XR3, not injection, cloverleaf alloys. My favourite is the series 1 RS turbo escort, white, previous shape.
This was my second ever car. Loved it
Buzzing for this one. Lenny so needs to be there on hand over.
1.6 CVH ENGINE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Incredible Lenny is his absolute elements superb Tom quality content and ticket bought 🙌🙌
I really hope Lenny. Urban gets one of these one day. Pure happiness that's what lifes about 👍 tbh I thought you was actually giving it to him 😆 great video.

everyone of a certain age had one or knew someone who had one at some point :)
ive owned 3 series 2 RS turbos, i wish i still had one of them
I was XR2 Mk1 Mk2 Mk3 but wanted the Xr3i we must be similar age the smile says it all 😅
I do prefer the Escort Mk3 1600i or the turbo but what you have is cash!!
Never seen someone so happy in a car 😂
Love love LOVE IT!!! 👌🏼😍
Brilliant video 👏🏼 what a legend Lenny is 🤣
What the?! Can’t be many around in that condition! As Lenny points out only a few bits to remove to get back to original spec. Recaro’s could probably stay. This will just go up and up and up in value!
This! 👏👏👏
Runs well cause it’s non turbo. There’s such a Decent circle on UA-cam Instagram and top cars that’s what it’s all about positivity no jealousy and people just doing well
also it’s got to be an s1 turbo next
Absolutely brilliant video TGE and great to lenny. As soon as I saw lenny I instantly thought of your old defender what a great video lad thanks you very much
What about the cosworth in the reflection?
We’ll spotted! That’s one of our staffs cars. It will be featured soon on the Urban Automotive UA-cam channel 👍🏼
Unbelievable video! 😂
What a machine 😍
Entry purchased. Always wanted one of these or a mk2 XR2i. But could never afford them 😢
Mk2 was an XR2 and only became an ‘i’ with the Mk3.
Can Lenny just buy this. It’s a perfect match
When I was a teenager this used to be my dream car
What a great car proper nice 90s classic 👀👀👀👀
Best car so far for giveaways! 🤙🏼😍

Oh wow I need this car 🔥
Definitely cheaper than prince Andrew’s Escort lol,,,,,, I used to have a G reg 90 spec XR3i , then a S2 RS turbo and a modded S1 RS turbo custom 😎👌👌👍
Just wondering why 2 winners 2 months apart are photographed at the same house? I have not kept up to date so maybe i am missing something just looks strange on the website thats all!
It’s where they collected the car from 😂
@@TGE to be fair I thought it might be, love this giveaway my first car was an Xr3i E reg! then a RS Turbo for my 2nd 🙂
