0:54 OooOh its beautiful. I dont care that its old and slow by todays standards. That car was the car of my dreams as a little boy, and I still love it till this day.
You've nailed this Tom! I had one of these in the exact same colour around 20 years ago. So so wish I still had it! Absolutely loved that car. I had always wanted a XR2 and when one came up for sale, I bought it with the intention of selling the XR3i. I actually gave the XR2 to my Mum as I couldn't part with the 3i. Those were the days!!
I had a white XR3i on an E reg for a few years as my first car. Loved it. Lenny was right there are alot of extra's on that XR3i of yours that weren't standard. Seats , 2nd Spolier at the top of the roof line, Sunroof wind deflector.
The joy of a xr la got myself a cheap but brilliant 90 spec cabby with recaros what it lacks in power it more than makes up in putting a smile on your face with its pure innocence and adolescent brilliance.. ican proudly say AV GOT 1 ❤❤
I really hope Lenny. Urban gets one of these one day. Pure happiness that's what lifes about 👍 tbh I thought you was actually giving it to him 😆 great video.
Love it! I used to have the previous original XR3, not injection, cloverleaf alloys. My favourite is the series 1 RS turbo escort, white, previous shape.
Runs well cause it’s non turbo. There’s such a Decent circle on RU-vid Instagram and top cars that’s what it’s all about positivity no jealousy and people just doing well
Absolutely brilliant video TGE and great to lenny. As soon as I saw lenny I instantly thought of your old defender what a great video lad thanks you very much
What the?! Can’t be many around in that condition! As Lenny points out only a few bits to remove to get back to original spec. Recaro’s could probably stay. This will just go up and up and up in value!
Hi Tom Well mate what a amazing car love it Just the look on Lenny’s face is priceless, talk about a kid in a sweet shop lol , in the day I very nearly bought one, but I hung on because the New XR2i was coming out and where I lived I was one of first to own one mate loved it 😊 great video Tom thanks mate 👍👍👍👍🚗
It’s funny actually. How when we try to be cool. We’re not. And when we’re authentic we are cool. Lenny that was great. I sound like a huge fan now lmao. Just saying. From this video.
THE BEST CAR! This is like my childhood, I remember going in one for a friends birthday party when I was about 6 and I didn’t want to get out of it. Just amazing amazing cars! I miss the escort they were the ones! I miss this era of car I really do! Amazing video and I get why Lenny loves it!
When I was a young man in the eighties the middle and upper class youngsters could be recognised by their golf GTI’s and your better off working class drove this! Both were great cars but that old English social divide was so obvious by what you drove, I guess it’s still the same, I have not lived in the U.K. since 1999.
My friend just showed me a video from mae muller and it made me so upset. They destroyed an XR3i convertible just for a stupid music video. Like wtf. Oh btw love your car❤❤
Just wondering why 2 winners 2 months apart are photographed at the same house? I have not kept up to date so maybe i am missing something just looks strange on the website thats all!
I’m in. When I was at High School a girl I fancied was collected every day at 3.30 by an older guy in an XR3i. Now I’m 46 I want to be that guy. Just joking 🤣
