I presume you mean XR4x4?

I thought the xr4i had a v6 engine or was that the xr4x4?

You can get a 2.0L 5 door hatch XR4i there just very rare.

Exactly, it's the I4 2.0 8V Twincam engine. I used to have one. They normally have a very good spec with a few sporty accents such as sport seats (no recaros though), 4 headrests, rear spoiler, fog lamps, gas-filled dampers, color-coded bumpers and door mirrors, etc. But at the end of the day they're still only a normal Sierra. Maybe comparable to a Ghia model...

With low mileage... Maybe somewhere between 500 - 1500 pounds?

and not worth much, nothing special about them, pretty much a 2.0 ghia spec 8v dohc sierra

There were a few yes, but it was just basically any old 2.0 8v Sierra with an XR4i badge on, and isn't going to be worth any more than any other 2.0 8v Sierra I shouldn't think.

+1 and they where slow

Was only 1 real XR4i

As above about the same as a Ghia price wise i would say

Guessing it was ford being lazy, same as the Escort mexico.... Mk6 version

the 2ltr engines are a good engine. I had the engine in my sierra gt. Cracking car i still miss it now.

i used to have one a 1991 2.0 twin cam xr4x4 (not xr4i as the 4i was rwd) it was in gray and absolutly mint, 42k on the clock and ws taken in part ex on one of my old cars, it sold after 4 months of trying for £900 and that was back in 2003 so i dont think it will be worth much now, its bacsically a pinto block with a twin cam 8 valve head, not very quick but a nice comfy car

Csm

Ive had a few and love them

Take abuse and want more

Mate still has one with about 160k on the clock

If i could find a mint example id have one again and again

These 4i's also often had LSD's fitted!

Its basicly an I4 lump from a RS2000 actually

i have had every type of xr4 and yeah the 2ltrs xr4is are a bit watered down but mine would handle well and spin the back wheels so it was all good bitd. 2ltrs xr4x4 gripped well and could chuck them around so i liked them plus they were cheep on jungle juice which lets face it is important for some people so they had niche.

i bought them and made a nice earner on them so they wern't that bad.
quite liked the squareness of the seat patterns too lol and they had a decent spec like heated screen,e/mirrors/winders/cl/sunshine roof/etcetc

i think so ........

yeh the xr4x4 were 2ltrs and 2.9 v6s. The first ones were 2.8 v6s. Im not to sure if they did a 2ltr pinto in the first xr4x4s.

Just a fancy 2.0 sierra really, not worth a great deal more than any other.

in europe you could get a 3dr xr4i 2ltr facelift sierra,now thats a good project car.

cossiejay

i have seen one of those i thought the owner had put a facelift front end on it and there was one on pistonheads a couple of months ago with both rear quarters bent

saph-mad

cheers guys the mate was thinking that it would be worth a bit more as theres not alot of them over here in northern ireland

he has it for sale in a few papers over but just keeps getting people ringing him asking them everthing about the car and they saying "ford never made them i think you mean a 3 door xr4i with the 2.8i" assholes !

does any one know how many where made off the top of there head i was told it was only like 1200 -1500 ??

capricougar

the 2.0 litre twin cam was the last productionrunof the xr4x4, due to the rising fuel costs. a few rare versions are around the minker,a turbo tecnics model. i have one of the last 10 xr4x4s apparently (can any one verify), it came with full electeic pack,RS suspension,as on cossies,recaros,nice RS side skirts.etc. it was speced up to sell to make way for the all ready available mondy.an exelent handeling car,unburstable engine,decent on fuel . check out my pics.click link,

i have had a few 2ltr xr4x4's,the problem with these cars was a recession and the insurance crisis of 1992 nearly killed off performance car sales.
i was messing about with cars then and know first hand what increased insurance premiums were doing to sporty ford values.
ford dropped the smaller donkey in but it wasn't a great seller.
i had a xr4x4 2ltr a few years ago and it was amazing condition,like a 3 year old car with no rust whatsoever,no rips or seat holes just a few stone chips and creases on the drivers seat,i wished i kept it but with a escort cosworth and a evo 8 around me it was time to move it on and i had no trouble selling it.
also the heads on them are shit and thats the biggest problem,they crack and i used to see mint cars scrapped cos the donkeys were too dear to fix unfortunately.

I've got a 2.0 DOHC 5dr XR4i and they are getting rearer by the day. still probably not worth much money though coz at the end of the day they just a glorified gls tbh.. fun in the rain tho ...lol

Lovin that mate

no xr came with recaros from factory as it wasnt an option

i think you will find that your seats are fiest turbo ones as they used the same cloth pattern as late xr4x4s, abd its a give away as you can see the recliner handles for those seats as they should be in a 2dr, as ford wouldnt fit 2 door sits into a 4door

looks nice though

XRdodgybird

apart from the xr2i that came in a limited run in silver during the swap over between the 8v and 16v

capricougar

the seats do infact tilt forward and recaros were offered as an option, on this year! they are origonal factory fit with 2 lumbar supports,height adjustments etc. the catalouge of ford cars that came with my car,states recaros can be ordered for the car from new! since the seats are identical to the cossies one would assume they are the real deal!!

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

but there not identical

cossie recaros dont have the handles in to recline and never came in that trim pattern, but fiesta rs turbos did
those seats are for a 2 dr car, not 4dr

Rax

iTrader: (1)

Not to poke my nose in but I had a passenger tilt shadow cloth Recaro seat only one mind.I have no idead what it was originally from.It was identical cloth as a Sapp and I sold it to someone with a 3dr looker who had fitted a Sapp trim Which I also sold him.I stung him for £60 for the tilter He got fed up of winding the seat forward.Any ideas where that could of come from.I have never seen a 3dr Coz with shadow cloth

capricougar

well f$$$ me PERRYS FORD of Byfleet Essex have put me the wrong seats in !!!! big deal! ford have always made parts bin cars as the last of the line to make them special & to sell!

capricougar

THANX GLENNY BOY GLAD YOU LIKE CSM

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

i still say it never came with those seats lol

considering the sierra and fiesta were made at different factorys

and now looking at the seats properly there escort cosworth cloth outers and someone has had the centres retrimmed to match

so i was wrong they were frst seats but there frame and outers are definitly escort cosworth

but its still a nice car as i love the xr4x4s regardless of what interior is in it, well bar the std seats which are wank

cossiegreg1

Interesting..... as iirc door cards and everything match , it could be true what your saying, but everything seems factory, it doesnt look /feel like its been re trimmed.
