The black bodywork of this tidy-looking XR2i is teamed with patterned grey cloth interior trim and rides on period correct alloy wheels shod with Nankang tyres. It is an eight-keeper example that is currently registering a very modest total mileage of 30,190 (unwarrented), that appears to be supported by its partial MOT history. The vendor informs us that the Ford has just been treated to a service but volunteers there is a slight misfire and some evidence of both oil and coolant leaks. Overall he rates the hot hatch’s bodywork as and paintwork as ‘good’, the five-speed manual transmission and upholstery as ‘average’, and the CVH engine as ‘below average’. The car is now being sold complete with glass sunroof, Pioneer radio/cassette player and a current MOT certificate valid to April 24.
After developing through no less than seven generations, Ford’s incredibly successful Fiesta was finally discontinued in June of this year, much to the disappointment of its legions of fans the world over. No less than 22 million examples were sold during the model’s astonishing 47-year reign, 4.8 million of which found homes in the UK, where it was the top selling model for 12 consecutive years (2009-2020) and the country’s best-selling car of all time. From frugal family car to winner of international rallies, Ford’s famous baby has ticked countless boxes in its reign and leaves a very large automotive hole behind it. The XR2i model we’re concerned with here, was a performance version of the MKIII Fiesta that was launched in 1989. It was powered by Fords 1600cc eight-valve OHC CVH engine of 108bhp – sufficient output to accelerate the three-door hatchback to 60mph in around 9 seconds and on to a terminal speed of c.118mph.
In summary:
An eight-keeper example displaying just 30,190 miles from new
Just serviced, and MOT’d to April 24 next year
Equipped with factory sunroof and Pioneer stereo system
