Buying a MK1 XR2 - Advice needed
Going to have alook at MK1 tonight and wondered what are the things to look for ??
Car has been fully restored a couple fo years ago.
Ford's are not my specialty, so any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers

Look for rust around the rear arches,boot floor and battery tray.There was a mk1 buyers guide in fast ford a few months back.
