Hey I just brought what I hope is a xr3i cabriolet 1989 which is what it came up on the insurance. But when I received the v5 it says 1600i. So how can I tell if it is or not and what are the difference between them. I've heard the engine is the same its just the trim that different. I was also told if it has electric windows roof and side mirrors then it's a xr3i which mine does. Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

That's what she looks like. I have compared pics and I think it looks like one that's why I was confused.

The cabbie I'm
Breaking now is an xr3i and has all original xr fittings and stickers but is logged as escort 1.6i cabriolet
I expect is helps insurance to lose the xr badge back when it was new and they were stolen left right and centre

Oh that's great news I'm glad it is a xr3i and I'm only 21 and been driving just 5 months and it's always been a dream car which I'm still shocked I can get insured as much as I was paying for my fiesta. I was gonna keep it anyways as it looks incredible and drives amazingly
Thanks peps much appreciated!

Thanks man and dw I will do
got another question though. It's currently the xr3i but it has came with twin chock Webber carbs and fittings with a proformance air filter. Would it be a good idea to fit that or leave it? I know it will then make it an xr3 but I don't mind that.
