1993 Ford Escort XR3I

Our 1993 Ford Escort XR3i is the performance variant of the Escort lineup of the early nineties.

It has a 1.8-litre engine, delivering 130 hp at 6,250 rpm in its day. This gave the XR3I a 0–60 mph time of around 10 seconds and a top speed close to 123 mph. 

The five-speed manual gearbox sends the power to the front wheels to offer relatively direct feedback and improved handling. Particularly when compared to earlier models. This generation of XR3i also benefited from a lower sports suspension, alloy wheels, full disc brakes, and a more aggressive aerodynamic kit including spoilers and side skirts.

This particular XR3i is one of the rare, well-kept and looked-after examples. It has covered just over 30,500 miles and comes with a history file containing MOT certificates, old tax discs, and various bits of paperwork detailing work completed throughout its life.

This car can be run on synthetic fuel as well as traditional petrol.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we run all of our competition cars on synthetic fuel. This is a like-for-like fossil-free alternative to petrol that reduces emissions by up to 80%. This can be mixed with traditional petrol and no modifications to the car are required. You can fuel this car with traditional petrol – we simply use synthetic fuel as part of our sustainability goals.
