Crazy money xr3i

[firebobby]

I remember coming home from the gym one night in the XR, I was alone and noticed headlights in the the rear view mirror, quite a way back. I put my foot down to keep well ahead and was shocked how quickly the following car caught me. As it passed, I was really peeved to see a 1.9 Pug 205 GTi, 4 up...so much quicker :|

A white 1.9 GTi has just sold for 38.5k at auction Fred, the highest on record apparently.

Always liked them John, My sister in law had a new one and the power was awesome, the torque steer was frighting though

I only drove a 1.6 Fred, funnily enough when I had an XR3i, it was like driving the M after a 2.0 Zed, bloody swift even in 1.6 guise. The panels were wafer thin though, I wouldn’t like my chances in an accident in one.

Looks like the XR3i at £19k was a bargain... Ford Escort 1.6 XR3i 3dr
