• Benefiting from recent works • Finished in radiant red with a cream roof • Wearing period correct alloys • Offered with current V5C Launched alongside the rest of the Escort MkIII range in September 1980, the XR3 was an instant success (accounting for a reported 11,000 sales during the following year).
Intended as a rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTi, its monocoque bodyshell (complete with ‘aerodeck’ hatchback) boasted all round independent suspension (Macpherson strut front / trailing-arm rear) and disc / drum brakes.
Powered by a 1597cc OHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission (five-speed from February 1982 onwards), it proved quick but unruly.
Conscious that the planned introduction of fuel injection would bring yet more speed, Ford charged its SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) department with taming the hot hatch’s wayward handling.
Begun in October 1981 and overseen by Ron Mansfield, the XR3i project bore fruit in just fifteen months.
