My mate is a delivery driver he spotted it and told me about it. I chapped on the door and asked if it was for sale, we thought it was an xr3 till we looked at it. It was an rs1600i that had been reshelled, it was in a garage up in ballater years ago,it was taken out for a trest drive and written off. The current owner bought it then bought a service shell from ford then reshelled it, he swapped everything over from the 16i apart from spoilers. It only has 32000 on thre clock and he say's it is for sale at the right price, we offered him Ł700 and he refused that. Pm me for location if you want to try buy it min.

I think I'm going to cry now... How cruel and thoughtless to leave these beauties like this..
I know of a mk4 xr3i which has been standing half-way into a shed for years now. Needless to say, I'm going to rescue it..

I also know of a xr4i, just the throw of a stone away from the 3i, but don't know if it's still there.. may have suffered the cruel desteny, and went to the scrappy.. but if i hasn't, I'll rescue me a sierra too
