Ford Escort XR3

Vehicle Reg No: Khu354x
Year: 1982

I recommissioned the car in 2020 after being stored locally in Bath for 31 years..
Bodywork has had some cosmetic repairs, due to damage occurred during being off the road and from reason car was mothballed.. 3rd attempt of being stolen in the late 80’s.
The car is now used regularly, including taking on the lands end to John ogroats 24 hr Challenge in 2021. Together with my son we completed the challenge with 14 mins to spare, only A and B class roads, 944miles one way, 1,900 miles in 4 days..
This is the forerunner to the XR3i, mine has the same engine but fitted with a twin choke Webber carburettor instead of fuel injection which was introduced 18months later.
