FORD ESCORT XR3 RS1600i REPLICA Black 5 Previous Owners Five-Year Build Only £17,995 Welcome to Baytree Car Sales. Here we have something genuinely special for the classic Ford enthusiast a beautifully restored 1981 Ford Escort XR3 that has undergone an extensive five-year transformation into a superb RS1600i replica. Let's be clear from the outset: this is not a genuine factory RS1600i. It started life as an XR3 and has been painstakingly recreated as a faithful homage to one of Ford's most iconic 1980s performance cars. And the standard of the finished car is exceptional. FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING This hasn't been thrown together with a set of stickers and some replica wheels. The previous owner spent approximately five years creating the car, sourcing original Ford New Old Stock (NOS) components wherever possible and paying enormous attention to the details that make the RS1600i so distinctive. The result is a car that arguably presents better today than many surviving original examples. EXTENSIVELY RESTORED A huge amount of work has gone into the underlying car before the RS1600i transformation was completed. New flooring installed approximately six years ago Extensive restoration work completed Beautifully refinished paintwork Original XR3 engine fully rebuilt New pistons New crank Burton Power suspension components Extensive use of original Ford NOS parts Built with long-term quality rather than shortcuts in mind £4,000+ ALDRIDGE INTERIOR The interior deserves a special mention. Rather than simply fitting a used interior, the cabin was professionally recreated by the award-winning Aldridge Trimming to replicate the factory RS1600i specification. Approximately £3,500 Recaro Seating Approximately £650 Matching Door Cards RS1600i-Style Interior Specification Beautifully Finished Throughout Excellent Dashboard with No
