A True 80s Icon – Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet
It was in the third generation of the Ford Escort that the first cabriolet version was introduced — and what a success it was. From the practical three- and five-door models to the estate version, and of course the charismatic XR3i, this generation defined an era.
For those who remember the 1980s, the legendary British TV series Dempsey & Makepeace featured a striking silver-grey XR3i that quickly became a dream car for many. After that, owning an Escort — especially an XR3i — was the ultimate aspiration.
And here it is.
Presented in the same iconic colour combination, with matching equipment and correct engine specification — but in the even more desirable Cabriolet version.
This example remains remarkably original. It has never undergone a full restoration. Instead, it has been carefully preserved and treated to:
• A professional repaint
• A brand-new soft top
• Full mechanical service
• Detailed professional cleaning
The result?
An exceptionally well-kept, highly original classic in outstanding condition.
A rare opportunity to own a true 80s automotive icon — with the wind in your hair.
Serious inquiries welcome. I’m the third owner, and the car only comes out when it’s not raining. It is very well stored in a dry garage and doesn’t have any rust units because of our fine climate.
