Description
Introduced as a sporting ‘hot hatch’ version of the MK III Ford Escort, the XR3 was developed as a rival to the VW Golf GTI which was enjoying particular popularity in the early 1980s. The petrol heads of the time soon took to the XR3i, loving it for its racy appearance and performance. When it was first developed in 1980 it comprised a tuned up version of the 1.6 with a twin-choke carburettor, upgraded suspension and a few cosmetic upgrades, including that very desirable spoiler. It was to be a couple of years later that the fuel-injection XR3i arrived!
