1990 Ford Escort XR3i | Liverpool, Merseyside

A 1990 Ford Escort XR3i, the fuel-injected, front-wheel-drive hot hatch that gave the everyday Escort a sporting edge. It belongs to Britain's 1980s hot-hatch boom, alongside the Golf GTI and Peugeot 205 GTi, and is remembered as accessible performance Ford. This car is black with a white interior, a sharp contrast that reads clearly on camera and shows off the cabin with the doors open. Its 1.6-litre engine is fuel injected, the feature that set the XR3i apart from the carburettor XR3. The compact hatchback shape sits comfortably in street scenes and car park locations. The period look suits 1980s-set film and TV, music videos, photography and fashion shoots, where black paint against pale seats gives strong tonal contrast. Events that want a performance car from the hot-hatch era have the sporting trim to work with. Weddings and personal hires suit anyone who likes a hot hatch with 1980s character. The car is based in Liverpool, Merseyside.
