I'm amazed it made it to £410 I wouldn't have thought it would be worth a round of drinks!

and it had was it 3 days left, may be he is getting someone to up the bids on it..

last year a mint xr3i cab mark 3 only made £220 on ebay and it sold for that

I'm sure those are a rare version of the XR3. I can't remember what they are called though...

harvcore

iTrader: (8)

not sure if its special but it looks to me to be a xr3 with a period aftermarket kit

muz

There was one on pistonheads recentley. I thought someone on the RSOC forum said it was a genuine Ford model. Could be wrong though.

Paul Serious One

just goes to show that you should treat the rear of a repair or they rot again

see it soooooo many times where peeps put new cills/arches ect and paint outside and dont think about inside and they will all rot within a few yrs

never seen a ford washer bottle that big before !!!

Kam B

what a 1995 stylee thing!

1.9 xr2 on 40's

thats a billy bargain, as the guy says the wheels are 3-400 alone




on a side note if that was the only rust it would be worth repairing, not a biggie really

thebigmacmoomin

RS1700i wasnt it?

Andy

muz

Thatsthe job. Whether it's genuine or not though, the one on pistonheads was 4k IIRC

Kam B

the one you are on about had a rattle snake kit on though?

CosKev3

IIRC the Mk1 Fiesta Supersport came with a big washer bottle like that if it had the 'climate' pack fitted,head lamp washers was the reason it was larger.

turbo_3dr_tommy

no i think it was the RS1900i not the RS1700T

muz

Yeah its not the RS1700T thats for sure. Could be the RS1900i but the ad says it's an XR3. Unless it's a dodgy bodykit but if so the price is silly.

muz

I was thinking of the MK4 Turbo technics RS1900i. Must be a dodgy fibresports kit.

RSsandybeaver

Was it not called the rattle snake???? Sue a hairdresser had a mk4 3i like that but white. That was a rattle snake.

Rs Baz

no its diffrent alot diffrent unless the mark 3 had that style on it known as what you say

its not a rare RS17OOI or 1900I its only a 1.6 carb

Robski

its just a rusty XR3 with a RGA(Richard grant accesories) kit on....lol at all the the clueless people on here guessing it was a rs1700t or rattlesnake kit.....the car isn't worth much....

Its just a rotten bag of shit with 90s aftermarket tack!

stucos71

Its a dog with a nasty kit and spoilers.

Proper, rare one would be an RS1900i. RS being "RattleSnake" not "RallyeSport".
Was a Ford option for a very short time.
Would have a plaque on the dash if genuine, and be injection model anyway.

Could never be confused with an RS1700T.

PS- Gotta laugh at 300-400 quid for scabby S1 alloys. £80, last set i bought.

RS1700T???? how on earth could people confuse that heap of sh*t for one of these?

Micky

that car is totally typical of what was driving round essex in the 80's,nowt wrong with it and i saw escort mk3's rust like that in the rear qtrs back when i started driving and them shitters were all over the place,the first car i bought my mrs in 1994 was a 83 xr3i and they were common as muck. some were total rusters and some were very good.
the thing was if they was scouse escorts they tended to be shit boxes and if they were german made in saarlouis they tended to be much better metal and lasted better. they still rotted out though but not as bad as the scouse shit.

iansoutham

It is an XR3 (@ best) with some rough S1 front skirt on it and 2 88-spec rear spoilers bolted on top of each other. Even the front wings are disintegrating. Washer bottle is from a version with headlamp washers though.

mcst

My mates dad had one almost exactly like that, same colour even! Was a nail back then,15ish years ago.

Nothing special really, i'm surprised its at that sort of money i think his only made about £500 back then.

LOL @ people confusing the RS1700t!

turbolee

i can remember a bloke on my street having the same car as this it was just a xr3 with a extras pack on

muz

I was thinking of the RS1900i But that was a MK4. Its vile whatever it is.

coco16i

A Mk4 RS1900i..... WTF !!!!

Its not worth a kick up the arse!!

muz

From what I can gather the 'RS1900i' was a dealer fitted option on a run of 200 xr3's. A calibration between Dagenham Motors, fibre sports and Turbo Technics.

The RS stood for Rattle Snake and they were supposed to be fitted with a 1900cvh engine with a Turbo Technics kit on. However most of them were just kitted mk4 XR3's with a boggo 1.6 in them.

All genuine RS1900i's had a plaque on the dash with the build no.

This is not one ofo them however.

tell you what i do like.....

the colour,my mrs when i first met the bint had one,i think it was matisse blue.people confused it with caspian blue which was more popular,anyway hers was german built and totally rust free everywhere and was 82 x plater with the 5 speed box which transformed the car from the other w reg and x reggers with the 4 spd box.
so long as i'm right and it is the other slightly different shade met blue to caspian its a very rare colour as you didn't see many that shade,even though xr3's were common as dog muck.

S1

Cant believe i've been outbid! still, i only bid a tenner lol!

NEILNATO

I had an old XR3 on a y plate and it had the massive washer bottle, the reason why is if you look closely on the front bumper under the headlights, it had the overiders with the washer jets in, and they did work very well, not as good as the sapp little wipers lol

muz

Did you want the 'light weight race panels' Paul?
