Love the look on Mike's face, as he looks in the rear vision mirror when road testing the hunk of junk and see's 3 litres of engine oil turn to blue smoke 😂
-
I had a B reg for 2 years and an E reg for 10 years. They were very reliable and never failed an MOT. It made me popular with the girls too.
-
please make these a bit longer so we can see them being driven when finished and final selling price :)
-
The XR3 Pram 🤣😅😂
-
One of my favourite cars of the 80s.
-
Had a silver one with a black stripe ! and a rear aerofoil.
-
Hats off to Tony the roof guy, doing his highly skilled and difficult job in front of the camera.
-
An absolute tart up of an XR3i, I bet the battery tray is non existent and the rear chassis legs have long gone! 😂
-
I had one of these in red, except it was the mark three, it was known as the 1600 injection cabriolet, and was half the price of the XR3 and XR3i to insure… yes had everything an XR3 had interior and engine wise
-
I went to this guy to sort my roof out on my Alfa Romeo Spider. He did a great job!
-
I had a 1990 G plate 2 tone blue and silver with RS alloys, looked awesome at first glance. It was the EFI so fuel pump in tank problems, rear trailing arm SNAPPED, roof leaked like a sieve, engine sounded like a sewing machine, starter wouldn't spin when hot, wheel bearings needed doing every other MOT, door handle snapped off one morning! All that said, I'm looking at buying another 🙂
-
Wonderful tv shows, PLEASE keep making them, we all love them.
-
I still have a valve stem oil seal tool in my tool box! Easy job.
-
Growing up my parents had a pink one of these convertable Xr3i. My dad still says to this day he wishes he never got rid of it, such a cool car have to dig through some paperwork in a bit to find the reg and see if it's still on the road
-
Mike looked all shook up when elvis had finished the car.
-
Just this last year I found 91 xr3i cab hiding in Manchester so I scooped it up for 8k and brought it back with me to the states where it’s happily lives in Arizona
-
Elvis revives it whilst mike blabs utter bull 😂
-
Owned my tin top 3i for 23 years, can't wait to get it back on the road
-
Blue cars had a black stripes in the bumpers and down the sides. Also this car had slightly earlier style alloys rather than the later lattice ones which this year of car would have had. It was probably delivered with steel wheels & wheel covers when it was new.
-
I remember the blue xr3i on itv,s garages form hell .that one was a real horror story .if you want one of these it shows you the areas where to look on these .
