I had a few XR3is, but in one the floor pan had rotten completely unlike the part rot in the others, true Fred Flintstone style, used a mixture of fibreglass and in parts, paper mache to get it sold

The XR3i EFi was RARE to start with, so why do you think they would be common now?

Nothing crap about them mate! Infact i think they are one of the best cars to own as a base for a project. Also the XR2i and mk5 RS2000

Anyways i have an engine if you need one and manifold.

The Efi's are only on the 1990 and 1991 models as far as I know, so they were only produced over that time.

Not as rare as a MK5 Escort with a CVH engine with EFI.
I had months of going to the scrap yard looking for one for my MK5 Turbo
