Also, the vacuum pipework needs a bit of sorting, it shouldn't really be draped across the cabin air intake like that.

Has it had a bonnet flip at some point also?

No, you nugget, I can see that. I mean the 2 scabby bits on the scuttle that look out of shape.

It is "Good Old" MFi on that one. No XR3's where EFi, they were Carb fed.
On the other hand, the 90 Spec XR3i's were EFi.
