Sorry lol.

Get a pic of his clocks matey.

Scan through ebay at mk3 escortd and see if you can find any cars for sale that have pics of the clocks showing the mileage then you might be able to see the rev counter too.

all early xr3's had the 10 20 30 rev counter as opposed to 1 2 3 etc, w reg and x plate up to around april 82, they were changed when the 5 speed box became standard so in a nutshell they're 4 speed xr3 or ghia clocks

Depends when they were registered, x plate would have been half and half, all w reg ones had the earlier type clock's with the 10 20 30 etc, if the rev counter is on the wrong side they're lhd clocks or the car was imported from new, the different clocks were the second revision on the xr3 when the 5 speed box was introduced early 82
