Hi guys

Ive recently been longing for my XR3i which I sold 10-11 years ago. It was a red XR3i, reg A84 JOD, I sold it to a chap living in Paignton, Devon.
If anyone knows what has happened to my car i would be very grateful.

Thanks for Looking

Paul

Want my old escort van rs2000 conversion back sold it in nov 2008 H378 CDV

 

longing for an xr3i? come on!

 

Im in Paignton and not seen it around at all. Would be a rare sight to see something that old.

 

know how you feel bud just bought the rs van from kent which my mate built over 15 years ago i so wanted it then now i own it coooooooooool

 

XR3's, rare to see one these days.

I was cruising back down the m40 today coming back from scotland in a Mk5 Golf and a Mk4 escort joined the M40 in front of me and pulled away ( i was already going pretty quick).

It took a while to catch up ,and here was me thinking it must be an RS turbo, but it was just a tidy old black XR3, Mk4. I passed and let it re-pass at which point he gunned it off down the road, not bad for a 22 yr old pile of junk, makes me almost nostalgic about my Y reg XR3i I had back in 1991!

#Sorry to add but your old car will have been crushed and cubed and gone a long time ago if its never been taxed since.

 

fisher rs van do u own my old van now h378 cdv???? How is it???

 

dunno why folk come on to other peoples posts and slag the subject?

had loads of XR3i's and loved them, good fun, looked smart and super cheap to sort if anything ever went wrong. Rare to see good ones on the road now, but they always turn heads. Good ones starting to creep up in value now as well.

 

the one and only time i nostalgically bought back my rs turbo i bought it with blinkers on,it was rotten as a pear and ended up that no one wanted to weld it.good luck with the hunt,im sure if it was an enthusiast that had it in 01 it will be garaged somewhere as '1 day' it will get fixed.good luck

 

my van reg is f458 dwu matey

 

If only if only, i could my caspian blue y-reg XR3i back.... mmmmm! Lowered with mk4 doglegs. God that car looked the dogs bollocks. Mind u that was 17 years ago. Woz one of the only 17year old owners at that time in my town. 1600pound insurance premium at that time. Car only cost 750pound. Rez and phantasia tunes blasting. Friday and saturday nights were cruise nights. God those was good times. Snes mariokart and some stella.

 

its funny how you get attatched to cars i would love my old red XR4I back B107BML, but probably long gone now, i loved that car but it was a good few years back, i would happily have that over my 3 door as mad as that sounds.

 

i like these thread would be good if you get your old car back

 

last taxed in 2000.

 

thats dead then

 

I know the feeling, i loved my radaint red mk4 xr3i too lots, but the mk3 was just that bit beter looking, especially seeing it was lowered. And the xr3i was a bit of an untouchable then. Phoned hyperformance insurance for a qoute, found it in the back of max-power mag.. when i told them i was 17, the guy just laughed. Hell it cost me 800pound to insure my sri cavalier, so i had to find someone to insure that for me and add me as a second driver. The female sex loved that mk3 too... I would sell most of my possesions for another mk3, preferably blue, or sunbust red, the perfect summer cruising car. There was an a-reg in my town. Also 2 black y-regs, and a c-reg which belonged to a milf hair.dresser. The hot hatch has died a long time ago in my eyes. The crap they sell today, has left my to totally lose interest in cars. Topgear is shit too, more like some tof-nosed talk show, i think anyways. Bring back the 80s.

 

i live in totnes mate and am obsessed with escorts if i spot one the reg sticks in my mind but cant say ive seen that one and its also got OD on the end of the plate which means its reasonably local and would have deffinatly grabbed my attention (im weird i know)

theres a couple of mk 4 rst's and xr3i's going around but not many mk 3's which im guessing it was from the plate? send me a pm with any details u can ill check it against my computer at work which will tell me if its been scrapped or not cheers Tony

 

I would love my first XR3i back, A60 NNM. Got it when I was 19 in about '89. Saw it about 5 years later in Colchester Institute in an absolute state, was gutted. Sold it to get a Mk2 RS2000 which felt agricultural compared to the XR3i.

 

i bought a red xr3i off a fella living in the uk about 10 11 years ago which i still have reg h506gbw.

 

Lol cossies arent all that Chopster! Ill be flogging my taxi next year and going back to a mk3 escort of some sort!

 

Strange this because I still miss my old black mk3 3i from about 15years ago ! C911 PAB.Three door coz rims on it and rs1600i trim.Great for hooning around in

 

Lets hope it's scrapped like all ropey old mk3 and 4 escorts should be!


and its not lost.. or yours..

you fucking sold it!

 

yeah they're all a bit shit really but they're like the 15 year old dog thats lost control over it's bowels. You can't help but love em lol

 

I bought my old rst back a year back or so. Didnt seen it for 2 years. It was a complete wreck when i bought it back

 

Im in shock you mean the cossie aint the ultimate in ford ownership

 

Yes its stupid. Better off with a smokey old sierra

 

Cant beat a black 3i!!

Heres mine;

Headgasket went last week tho

 

Loved the mk4 3i too, but mk3 3 is just that bit beter looking, less round edges, lower. Nothing nicer than a lowered mk3 with 15inch fod wheels, totally stunning. Was a lovely white turbo technics xr3i i my town with rs-bodykit, recaro and cossy rims. Escorts also cheap and cheerful to live with, except when mentioning the r--- word.


Me too, would pay silly money to get it back!! I love now as much as i did all those years ago.

 

My 3i,been in my mates barn for 8 years

 

Nice. At least its nice and dry inside. Looks like you have space for a few more there. Lucky you.

 

get that sorted dakar,mk3 xr3's are fat.

i want my old statos silver xr4i back,b339rea.

 

if I could have any of my cars back it would be my beige mk3 capri,

 

Would love to get my old Mk 3 3i back but it's very unlikely as some thieving scum nicked it. It's strange how some people slag them off as most people who have owned one want it back once they have parted with it. My XR3i was probably the most troublesome car i have ever owned - i even borrowed my dad's Vauxhall Chavalier to go away on my honeymoon cos i couldn't trust my Escort but it's still the car that i would most like to have back.

 

Bloody hell you offered me that ages ago, thought youd got shut!

 

I sold mine to one of my best mates for a stupidly low price !.Everycar I had he wanted to buy but never did so the low price was set and the twat turned up the next day with the cash I couldn't say no,a deals a deal.He then swapped with another one of my mates for an 86 4.2 manual series 3 Jag in cranberry with beige leather.I was well pissed because even to this day thats one car I still want
