Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1986 Ford Escort XR3 Cabriolet, finished in Strato Silver, presents a mostly appealing opportunity for classic car enthusiasts. Showing 99,000 miles and having been owned by few individuals, including one family for an extended period, it has a documented service history up to 2002. While it runs well, the MOT is valid until January 2024 with no advisories, the car does show some age-related wear, particularly to the hood and exterior.
Condition
6
The car shows age-related wear to the hood and exterior, but the interior is presentable. It has a well-documented service history and low ownership, but some reconditioning may be needed to address the wear and tear.

Presented in XR3 Cabriolet format, this was originally the more expensive model of the day and excellent examples are difficult to find.
The current MOT runs until January 2024, showing no advisories and although there is of course some age related wear to the hood and exterior, the interior is very presentable and it could certainly be a starter classic for those born in the late ...
