THE LISTING

About this vehicle

1989 Ford escort xr3i convertible limited edition two tone.

Colour is Inca gold and Flint grey. 

92,817 miles but will go up slightly. 

12 months mot. 

Getting rare in this colour now and in this condition.


I’ve owned this car for over 11 years and in that time I have done a full nut and bolt rebuild.

It has had a full exterior respray and fitted a fiesta Rs Turbo engine. 

It’s a fabulous car to drive and makes heads turn wherever it goes. I’m gutted to sell it but I just haven’t had the time for it and don’t want it to waste away.

It has been sat in dry storage for the last 7 years but has been recommissioned this year. 

I have folder full of receipts, old mot’s, dyno print out and shows that it’s been too.

V5 in my name and 3 keys. 

All the electrics work including the power roof and power aerial.


Half leather recaro seats

Electric front windows, electric mirrors, heated front and rear screens, central locking.

Mbl sound system with dab stereo.


It’s had the follow parts changed:


Pair of new driveshafts with cv joints

New steering rack with new steering joints

All new bearings front and rear

New front and rear lower arms

All new shocks and 20mm lowering springs

All new polly bush kit front and rear

New rear brake shoes, spring kit, slave cylinder and drum cases

Rebuilt front brake calipers with new pistons and seals

New front discs with ferocity Ds2500 pads

Braided brake pipes front and rear

New headlights

New front indicators and side repeaters

New front door window seals

New roof securing cable

I’m sure there’s more that I’ve forgotten


Performance Upgrades include are:


Garret Stage 2 T3 turbo

Beige injectors

Uprated fuel pump

Front mount intercooler

Alloy radiator

Ram air induction

Luk heavy duty clutch

Quaife Limited slip diff gearbox

Vibratechnics gearbox mounts

OFAB ecu 195 superchip

1 bar map sensor

Blue silicone boost and coolant pipes

Alloy coolant tank

Chrome engine bay

Scorpion stainless exhaust system

Gready boost controller

15” soft lines with Bridgestone potenza tyres

Cobra imobiliser


This car really doesn’t want for anything,

In my honest opinion I would have the wheels refurbed (they look great but up close the paint is tired and has little peeling)

And the roof replaced due to a few small tears (roof doesn’t leak).


There’s also a hand full of spares/ original parts that will also come with the car.
