You can get a XR3i cheap enough, though for some reason they're not accepted as "old skool" despite alot of them being the same age / older than capri's (Not that I don't like Capri's, love 'em

)
My mk1 Fiesta will be 30 years old in February & i refer to it as a 'classic' more than 'old skool',my first car which i got at 17 back in 1988 was a 1982 'X' plate Mk3 Escort.How old doe's a car need to be before it's classed as 'classic' ?.I am a huge fan of all old skool Fords specially Mk1 & 2 Escorts,i have approached a few mags & all i get told is as my Fiesta is original/standard & not modified/restored it's not something they would feature,now not being funny but i would of thought having a car so original & un-touched at 30 yrs old would be a rare find specially as it's a non sport model.
