I though all XR3i's were efi...Hence the 'i' part of it?

And thats why XR3's are just,XR3's

the early XR3i is injection... its mechanical injection like the rst (its k-jet)

the 90spec motors have the same engines as the XR2i (ie same engine with EFi, eec4)

cant always go on the reg tho, as it could be an earlier manufactured car that was reistered late

Late F's had Zolda trim, but still had 'pre-90 spec' bumpers/spoiler.
In 1989, the 90 spec came along with revised bumpers/spoiler. 90 spec refers to the 1990 model year, which were built around the summer of 1989.

There would have been a fair few MFi's kicking around that got registered on a G, same as there's the odd 'late' registered J plate Mk4 knocking around.
