They might be old, but they make me WET

[Cookson]

Had one of these YEARS back, and the numbers fell out of the floor to reveal another set underneath

:lolup:

 

[Matt Cup]

Do love mk1 xr2's

 

[col182]

I had no less than three mk1 xr2's back in the day as they were so cheap and ten a penny, great little cars.

Wish i would have known then the kind of money they fetch now!

 

[RDH]

Not a fan at all but they are before my time I suppose.

 

[GiT]

MK1 XR2's looked ace... but then look at a MK1 Golf GTI and the XR2 looked too Essex!

Always wanted one too.

One of my mates inherited his grans mk1 supersport.

1 owner from new (Still on the old logbook!) and something rediculous like 33,000 miles. Currently going through a full nut and bolt restoration.

He's even got the original bill of sale and it was £6300 iirc.

 

[GiT]

Will be worth a packet if done as good as that Nova 1.3 Sport that did the rounds online.

 

[Jason_E]

My mum never shuts up about the one she had at my age. They do look quite 80's, I like.

 

[VeinAST]

I always liked these and the MK2s but as always with old Fords the interiors are awful.

 

[jesus]

Never seen these in my life! I didn't know they existed. They look super!

1.3 OHC with a 32/34 webber?

I love the noise they make too. Slow as s**t in this day in age, but easy to drop a zetec turbo lump in

 

[Ian_182]

Gorgeous old skool stuff.I love them.

I would like one with a a type R engine though...

 

[jamie rigby]

Please please please keep us posted on this Daniel.. with some pics!! Absolutely love Super Sports! I had a white one, way back in 86 lol. It was one of the very first, registered on 01/01/81 What colour is your mates? What colour stripes etc?

From that I went on to a 3yr old mk2 XR2.. then onto a couple of mk1 XR2's when I bought my first house. Such great cars.. great memories!

 

[Cookson]

I've had a few Mk2's in my past, but they just arent as raw as the Mk1......... and most of them met a grizzley end

and my fast one

I miss that. It was nothing short of scary to drive!!

Thats funny because they dont look stretched :S

 

[Ian_182]

They are not stretched.If you read the sun strip it says old skool fords.Nothing euro about it.I did a quick search for fiesta type r and this came up so posted it.

I think it looks great...

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Old fords are full of win IMHO

 

[Goodj]

modern engines in old cars is fail.

Both would be a f**king HOOT to drive

Pepperpots are win!

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

I never used to like these very much but a few years back when I was a little younger, I remember seeing one of these tearing around Cranfeild street racing. The Type R's, XE powered Corsa's FRS's and other hot stuff didn't know where to hide. It devistated everything and ran on twin 48's if I remember correctly. From that moment on, I always showed these a little respect.

As much fail as spending every weekend in a lay-by waiting for the AA?

My mates got a gorgeous standard looking xr2 with a 2.0l zetec in it awesome little car

[alex-avfc]

I dont get the drop a massive lump in an old, lightweight car either. As well as losing original character, surely it massively upsets the balance and becomes nose heavy when you start talking 2.0s and so on?

OP, love your white one with the RS 7 spokes...how long are we going back to when you owned that?

 

[Jamie86]

Some modern bigger engines dont actually weigh a great deal more than old lumps though..

Nail. Head.

A lot of older engines are just lumps of iron. Modern stuff is full of alloys etc.

Christ, now you're asking, lol. Think it was 2004, because I had it after my cossie, but before my Mk1 Clio

Sold it to some scouse lad
