I don't know if it's just being sentimental or nostalgia but I absolutely love the look of the XR2. All the 80s performance Fords just look so cool. Doug's XR2 looks great in the Capri orange. Who cares about the pedantic purists, keep it as it is.
Great XR2 and the number plate is nearly the same as his old red one, how funny! My mate use to own a metallic grey one back in the day with purple piping in the bumpers!!
I had a few bk in the day.. had a black xr2 . 1.6 . 4 branch manifold. K&n filter.. didn't do to much too.. then bought a red one.. that had 1.6 with twin 40s k&n filters . 4 branch manifold.. tsw wheels . 40mm springs.. bumpers & kit colour coded. Had to sell and new owner after a month wrote it off was gutted.. bought a 1.6 blue xr2. Standard.. built myself.. fitted 4 branch manifold. Twin 40s . Kent cams.. ported & polished. Few mil skimmed extra off head. K&n filters. Pepperpot wheels. Think was scorpion exhaust.. rs seats. Racing clutch can't think of make.. springs unsure.. absolutely loved it.. sold few years later and new owner had it skittled it absolute mangled.. them days were amazing but long gone
@MARCUS HAYES not sure how true it is but they were the best for it because the used to bounce over kerbs into shop windows an remember someone saying it. alot were written off from being rolled too.
Hi there Marcus and your beautiful girlfriend Cat 🐈⬛, lovin that wee XR2 Fiesta, but I really love the patina in the spots 😊, it just hits the right spots, I was a bit unsure of the Vista Orange 🍊 but it’s definitely grown on me, niiiiiiiiiiice. Ps…….change the oil every 3k,i know i would if it was mine, oil is cheap compared to an engine 😊 Pps….. I remember I had a Vista Orange MK3 Granada and the rear chassis literally fell out, 😡 grrrrr
Superb car and a cool guy looks great in orange and like he said can always be painted white if the values sky rocket even more .
this is nostagia for me, im now 50 but back in the day i owned 2 xr2,s 2 xr3i,s and an s1 rs turbo. if only i still had them all.
Thank you Doug for sharing your awesome Ford with Marcus & Cat another great episode
Thanks for watching mate! 👍

Nice vid mate, bit mad how the last 3 letters on the reg are so similar to the red one he wrote off!
Awesome 👍🏽🙂 great story and cool car 😀👍🏽🤙
Love the content Marcus.👍
I owned two XR2s in the 90s loved them both. Second one was nicked and burnt out unfortunately. 😞
So much better to look at, and probably drive than most Germanic point and shoot gearboxes of nowadays, boring. A proper classic😎.
Thanks for some great content👍🏽
Love that Car
Would be interesting to know the full spec of the engine, mine makes a bit more power but doesn’t idle as smoothly as this one.

The orange looks really cool against the black XR2 kit etc. Defo wise to change the oil regularly on these old Fords! 👍
At first I thought Doug was John McGuinness.
