We are delighted to offer this 1988 Ford Escort XR3i, a well-presented example of Ford’s iconic hot hatch from the late 1980s.

The XR3i is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including MOT certificates and service records from Ford main dealers and independent specialists.

Included within the paperwork is an old bill of sale dated 1996, complete with the original radio code.

It has also been mechanically serviced following its period of storage.

The mileage is displayed as 12,132 miles; however, it is understood that the odometer has been around the clock, giving a recorded mileage of approximately 112,132 miles.

Notably, it was stored in a barn from 2003 until 2023, after which it has been sympathetically restored and recommissioned.

The exterior has benefited from a respray in Red, which presents very well and helps it stand out.

The interior remains in good overall condition, retaining original Quicks of Chester dealer stickers and registration plates.
