1987 Ford Escort XR3i | North Lanarkshire

A 1987 Ford Escort XR3i, the fuel-injected 1.6-litre hot hatch Ford built to rival the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Fuel injection turned the earlier XR3 into the XR3i, and the car became a favourite with 1980s drivers. This one is white with a grey interior, and it is in excellent condition. The pale body gives a clean, bright look against both urban and rural backdrops, while the grey cabin keeps interior shots calm and uncluttered. It seats five. Its compact hatchback shape and period lines suit 1980s-set film and TV, music videos and advertising, where an everyday performance car of the decade sets the period at a glance. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get a car that sits easily in street and car park locations. For weddings and personal hires, it offers a lively retro choice. The car is based in North Lanarkshire.
