Default Covered on drive for 2 years, time for MOT!!!

Used this as my daily driver for a couple of years then parked her up, been on my drive now for the last 2 years covered up. Charged the battery and started first time, 50,000 miles with full history and i mean full!!! 1 old bloke owned it before me and was box standard which it still is apart from the 100mm drop and alloys, Anyway Long overdue for an MOT so were taking it next week fingers crossed!!! Then a new home with my nephew, his first car but hes more nuts about old fords than me so i know it will be well looked after, very sad to see it go

I can vouch for it's condition, Paul only lives a few doors down, and when i moved into my house about 18 months ago i never knew what it was, always covered up, it fires up in a split second!! Minter!!!

i also had a b reg xr3i in red when i was 19 it was mint, i remember paying £1500 insurance 3rd party only but it was worth it!! That was until one day my brother asked to borrow it to take a new girl out he had just met (i think his nissan cherry did nothing for his image) i remember him walking in and saying your cars broken down so we used his cherry to tow it back, on further investigation a valve had snapped and wedged itself in a piston a right mess, we got it sorted but never felt the same again. i cant remember how many old fords ive had but lets just say i have had one or two!!!!

always wanted one of these, my budget could never afford a decent one though.

MOT results needs a new back box which i have sorted and a small hole in the floor about the size of a 5 pence piece which has gutted me it will be its first plate!!! not bad though for nearly 30 years old and been covered for 2years.
