General Comments

I Bought an Escort XR3i after writing off 2 cars. It was and 83 one owner 70,000mile car and I only gave £1250 for it. I had it for 1.5 years and never had any trouble with it. In fact just about everyone I knew seemed to have one of these at the time. I only parted with it when I found a lovely 83 RS1600i for sale in a local garage and had to have it.
It did have one problem as I remember it leaked through the battery tray. Great cars though.

    how people can say 3i are fast i never know. mk1 amd mk11 escorts are great. when i upgraded to a mk11 i was so let down. i think i have owned about every model escort and in my opinion you can't go far wrong with a mk11 rs.
