i have a white one, currently off the road for the past 5 years getting a resto, nearly done, genuine 68,000 miles, has genuine ford cosworth front bumper and grill fitted, brand new escort cossie wheels and 3dr interior.
just in the middle of refurbing all the running gear, might get it finished this year with any luck.
cheers Matthew

I know of a black one, in the Chesterfield/pleasley area, wheels, exhaust, not too bad condition, wish I'd got the money to buy it
If I got one, I'd be keeping the standard bumpers and grill, there ugly but cool. 3dr interior, lowered on escos wheels I think

Sounds very nice Matthew, any pics or a resto thread?
Jammers: I know what u mean about grill and bumper lol
I see that xr4i on eBay, I would want more comfort as itv would be for the road
Cos 4x4 I love your 4i.That would prob be exactly same spec as I would want one. Pm me if you ever want to sell it.
I didn't know you could get 300mm discs under 16inch wheels. How much difference did it make to braking.

Some more nice cars. Good to see there decent ones about along with the dogs which keep coming up for sale.
D16- I see pics of your new one on the xroc site. Very nice!
Big wig-I like your car but it has lost its 4i look, I would be tempted to make it a complete cossie rep

I have three but they all have the Brazil built 2300 SOHC and turbos on 'em, and an ugly front bumper that looks like a groupers lower lip. And strange badges that don't say Ford on 'em, they say Mare-koooor or some such twaddle.
And I have one with a nice Cosworth 4x4 engine and 4x4 box and a nice cage in it...
Do they count?

Yeah! Except over here they were an "orphan car" cause of the sales set up where they were only sold at select Lincoln/Mercury dealers and sold very poorly. Then mechanics acted like they were something odd (when in fact the engine and EEK!4 system was common and current but mechanics would just blow off customers so a huge portion of the cars would end up neglected and sitting and they get in some clevor-trevor's words (me) kinda ratty, then guys like me come along and resurrect 'em and clean 'em up and then they weren't "ratty" any longer and so logically the were 'formerly ratty" or (groan) "ex-ratty" or Xratties".
You stand back a few paces and that 4 looks a lot like an A..XRATI.
Bugger Ford couldn't spell.
There's still several thousand of them around and a couple of forums for them (although the same people put the same posts on both)....
Some silly bastid here makes reproductions of all of Fords old Group A Bilstein suspension and big brake kits and that guy was the inventor of the Supra diff into Xratties kit (for a fraction of the UK copy!).. Go to Google images and type in "JVAB Sooper bitchin " Lots of amusing piccies like this:
283 x 32mm brake kit with correctly sized Willwoods ( I'm convinced a lot of the talk of the willwoods being "flexy" is from guys running much bigger pistons than is right eg 4 x 1.75" and getting a mushy pedal rather than 4 x 1.625)
Here a friend of mine with his out in the woods
They work excellently for our very fast North American stages..
