I have just finished restoring/recommissioning my XR3i and the time will soon be upon me to part company with her

Here are some photos and details, are there many members in the Swansea area?

Hi guys, the car is completly factory spec - even down to the white wheel trims. Not all XR3i have alloys but manny people just stick them on I think. I have a set of Cloverleaf alloys but prefere the original trims on this car.

She is now (as of about an hour ago) FOR SALE! So wount be owning her for much longer im afraid. Have an 88 XR3i project I have just started. Must be one of the best ones out there, with a bit of deyailing she would be concourse I recon. Looking for around Ł5,995 for her given the milage, 1 owner and A1 Condition.

Needs a new home and somone to enjoy showing her off.

Very nice! If one wanted the option of cloverleafs, the price went up by about Ł150 i think. I wonder why it hasn't got it's rear wheel spats though?

Ł150 for a set of new alloys ad tyres?! Scandolous Dont think this ever had rear spats, just like the alloys and sunroof.

I know I will never find another like this. If I did look for another in a few years time I would be suprised if the price was pushung closer to around Ł8-Ł9k.

Oh well, good news for the new owner I guess.
