Nice find, it looks pretty solid under that grime. A few hours of elbow grease should bring a sparkle back

Fantastic - it's a pretty rare thing to see a bone-stock mkIV XR3i on the road these days. Are you planning to keep it standard?

the shop I work in does plumbing stuff and one of the fitters came in with a real old piccy of himself sat on the bonnet of a brand new 1988 xr3i said he had tracked it down and the guy was willing to sell it back for 700 with original keys bill of sale etc just as it was sold to him. turns out the old bloke had taken it for an mot and service at the local fod garage driven it 4 miles home parked it in the barn then had a bad turn / was ill for a while then passed it on to his grandson who wasnt interested
plumber comes back into work saying he cant afford it as he got a holiday to disney to pay for I asked him for the number turned out I knew the grandson and gave him the cash for it there and then dragged it out of the barn and gave it a clean at my house that day it runs now and will get another service this week with a good oil the breathers will all get a clean through and then it should be good for mot. there is a little hole behind the sunroof which is the only problem I can see that will need some @real@ attention as the rest is just little bits I put some rs wheels on it temporary until I get the old wheels repainted and new tyres fitted cheers for looking I am in two minds whether to sell it on as I have the mk1 fiesta and the mk2 golf driver at the moment as well as the discovery, mini and bmw lol

Nice, very nice. Think these will be the next big thing, as older stuff stays out of most peoples price range. They're getting pretty rare now, can't remember the last time I even saw one on the road!!

Got any new photos of it?, I love these XR3i, I know a chap with a Orion 1.6i Ghia that's been in a barn since 2000 with less then 50k on the clock, I must see him one day to see if he's ready to sell it or not.
