Welcome to RR!  Ooh that looks a beauty, black is a great colour for the mk3!  Nice to see origional amber indicators too, makes a change these days! I take it the spec is origional? Are you keeping her that way? |

:)I'm gonna sound really anoraky now,but am I right in saying that the CVH engine in the RS1600i didn't have hydraulic tappets like the normal CVH engines do? 8-)Damned cool car btw!  |

Thats damn fine. Black ones are the best, closely followed by red
There was one at a garage near me rotting away for ages, couldnt buy it because I couldnt insure it. Its on the list for future ownership!

Coooool! I'm in love. The amber indicators deffinately suit it better than the clear ones. (And I've got clear ones on mine!)
Daverapid - Yes, it did. The head had a few alterations as did the front suspension and the ignition system (twin coil electronic system).
Very good purposefull looking car. Infact, would you mind emailing me those pics in there original size/quality so that I can stick them on my website please?
Cheers,
Smiler.

Very nice looking car. My second favourite mk3 escort (after the 1700T ) Always had a lot of respect for it as Ford made a lot of effort to modify it over the standard XR3i when they could have just bunged an RS badge on it to sell it. |

Thanks for the comments guys.
The car has Koni adjustable suspension, poly bushes, and a janspeed exhaust.
I've got no other plans for the car at all apart from keeping it clean. I prefer to keep the car as original as possible.
Smiler- I'll get the pics emailed to you soon.

sweet car,
black is definitely the best colour for the MK3, especially an RS1600

NIce and clean.Perfect. It was called the xr3i over here if i remember right. No the XR3i was a different model. The RS1600i was a special built limited edition. Came with more power better suspension and some other stuff including the cool graphics and the Black bodykit. |
