XR2
Hi,
I've just become the proud owner of a mk2 XR2 in the blue. Still yet to pick it up though, going to collect on Wednesday! I'm so excited I could sh!t This is the car, does anyone know it and what advice would you give when looking around it Wednesday? Thanks in advance, Stuart http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190887638944?redirect=mobile Incase you struggle a bit with the link here's the spec, The car went through a restoration around 7 years ago. Receipts in excess of £8000. Bodywork All work carried out by Dass Coachwork of Chesterfield and cost around £3000 at the time. Full respray. New parts include Front Panel Bonnet Scuttle Sills Rear arch panels Engine Rebuild carried out by John Noble Motorsport of Chesterfield, work includes New pistons All bearings Lightened & balanced bottom end HP oil pump Twin 40DCOE's Kent cam Port matched head Magnex manifold and stainless steel system Set up and rolling roaded at 130.8bhp Serviced beyong belief and cam belt change 2000 miles ago. Everything else Spax suspension all round Some poly bushing Yoko A539 tyres (inc spare) Tarox grooved discs & mintex pads Most parts are new from wheel bearings to the fuel tank and most bills to prove. Interior is good, seats are good not frayed, rears are like new. Bad bits No rust apart from a small bubble next to the sun roof(I've tried to show it in the pictures) this has stayed the same in the past 2 and a bit years of my ownership. The car is not mint but not far off. Chance to own a fast becoming rare appreciating hot hatch of the 80's Please let me know any thoughts |

Thanks in advance, Stuart You already bought it on ebay, might be a little late to take a look? :) Looks tidy at first sight but I'm always very doubtful about restorations done by other people. And also about alleged "excellent condition". Colour (as long it has had a respray in a standard Fiesta colour) is rare and nice imo, but you're aware the car isn't in standard condition anymore? Twin carbs, RSi rocker cover, blue silicone hoses, aftermarket (or MK3 Fiesta) rad, Clio rear wiper etc. Interior seems to be in a good condition, let's hope vital parts like wiring loom are also in good (and standard) condition. Fingers crossed the car is fine and you're happy with it! |
A standard xr2 was shite, wallowing suspension, lacking power etc. who wants a standard one, original one? unless your sad enough to park it on mirrors and polish It until your hands bleed. I've seen the restoration pictures toady and the work looks to of been A* standard. I have won the auction on eBay but its not legally binding! Why does everyone assume this? If its not as described it will be false advertising and I will just walk away.
