Mercury Grey Metallic with grey XR3i sports seats
GREAT HISTORY | MODERN CLASSIC
1989 ‘G’ Ford Escort 1.6 XR3i 3dr finished in Mercury Grey Metallic with original grey cloth XR3i sports seats. First registered on 9 August 1989, this is one of the last of the Mk4 XR3i, carrying the later drooping-sided tailgate spoiler, 14in five split-spoke alloy wheels and the 1.6 CVH EFi engine. Please note the mileage: the odometer is a five-digit unit which has completed one full rotation, so the displayed reading of 11,509 represents a true mileage of 111,509. The original stamped Ford service book carries 9 stamps covering the first five years and 29,325 miles at South Wales Ford dealers, with a thick folder of servicing and maintenance invoices spanning 1989 to the present day, DVLA keeper records and MOT records tracing the car from 10,651 miles in 2015 to its current reading. Seven owners from new, the most recent having owned the car since 2017 and an earlier keeper from 2001 to 2014 — two owners accounting for more than twenty of its thirty-seven years in South Wales, where it was supplied new. The car remains standard throughout, on its original alloy wheels, decals and interior trim, with no lowering, aftermarket exhaust or induction, and an engine bay exactly as it left the factory. Presented in good overall condition order for its age and mileage: a used and well maintained example, as opposed to a concours or show example. Supplied with two keys and a full size spare wheel alongside the extensive history file, original stamped service book etc. Specification includes: 1.6-litre CVH fuel-injected engine, five-speed manual gearbox, 14in five split-spoke alloy wheels, tilt and slide sunroof, front driving lamps, body coloured bumpers with red coachline, XR3i sports seats, sunroof, sports seats, electric windows, central locking, alloy wheels, period Ford radio cassette etc. A fantastic opportunity to own a usable, affordable, appreciating eighties classic with real nostalgia and character.
