£4,000 - £5,000
1993 Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet. Registration Number K131 SKH. Chassis Number WF0LXXGKALND92497.
Sold with V5 and key, and various parts invoices including for a full camshaft kit from Kent Cams. Also included is an extra pair of front seats, a fifth alloy wheel, and a boot full of spare parts.
Launched in 1983, the MkIII Ford Escort saw a switch to front wheel drive, and a more sophisticated driving experience than its rear wheel drive predecessor. The Cabriolet version was built in Germany by coachbuilder Karmann; it was initially available in Ghia or XR3i guise. The MkIV of 1986 was a more gentle evolution than revolution, but the MkV model of 1990 brought another new bodyshell and in 1991 saw the introduction of the 16-valve Zetec engines. For the XR3i this meant a unit of 1796cc producing either 105 or 130bhp.
SKH has obviously benefitted from considerable expenditure judging by the sheaf of invoices present, and was MOTd until September 2023. It starts, runs well, and drives around our yard on a brief test. The manual roof is in good condition.
