Lovely! I do like a Mk3 Escort, specially one like this.
:cheers: MT
My second car was a Mk3 Escort and I've had a couple of XR3i's since.

The Mk4 is ok too but always preferred the Mk3 especially for looks :cool:

Hi JM.
The XR3 is rarer but quite a few still about.

Still plenty of XR3i varients around and the amount of interest in our cars at shows is high, so goes to show how many people can relate to the XR range of cars (Not unlike the Capri).

Nothing wrong with the later cars I had a 1989 3i, just personal preference :)

You’re good , that’s it I have a poster of the cars lined up I thought it was on a special track never guessed it was a road . 1980 I was 11 then as well so my grandad was still working at ford Dagenham as I got the posters from him in his office .
Where does time go . :lol:
