It isn't an RS1600i engine, but an EFi 1.6CVH which the car came with anyway?

On his ebay advert, in the bottom right hand corner of the blue background, there's a little tampon/panty pad thing.

clearly an efi too and not an rs1600i

I like the following line "THIS IS AN AMAZING CAR AND IF YOU KNOW YOUR ESCORTS YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT THIS IS A GREAT OLD CAR WHICH HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER."

Should read something like:

"IF YOU KNOW YOUR ESCORTS YOU'LL KNOW THAT I'M TALKING OUT OF MY ARSE AND WOULDN'T TOUCH THIS CAR"

Good luck with the sale though

Alright mate on the log book its states its a normal xr3i but the previous owner has advise that the engine is a RS1600i and if you drive it you will notice it is quite abit faster then the normal xr3i you can come and view the car also before the auction ends. Thanx.


my reply

>how much to end early plz could poss be up 2morro

his reply

Another one of Jim Henson's creations this one!

You asked:
"The engine in your car doesn't resemble a RS1600i in anyway. It doesn't have twin coil packs and is running an EFi injection unit. It looks like a Fiesta engine to me"

He replied:
Alright mate i was advised by the previous owner that the engine is a RS1600i if you want you can come and check the engine. Thanx
