As a 7 year old kid I used to gaze in the windows of my PE teachers XR3. It was in a car park of dusty Datsuns, manky Maxis,and clapped out Cortinas. It was like nothing else around. The alloys, the dash, the steering wheel and that rubber spoiler!! It looked amazing to a group of kids and a few of us got to go in it to the local sports track one day. THAT car started my love for cars. I’ve owned a fair few and RS models and loads of other stuff but I will always remember that car and how it used to sit there on those unique clover wheels and me thinking one day I’m having one of those cars! Happy days.
I can totally relate to that!
My teacher when I was 10 had a brand new white fiesta xr2i and it totally sucked me in, I checked it out everyday at school and it was like nothing I had ever seen.
That definitely started my love of cars.
Looks gorgeous with the genuine spotlights and fog lights!
Hi Jamie excellent film footage lovely car I am a proud owner of a 1982 sunburst red xr3 kind regards Nick . In Devon.
Urgh I absolutely love the XR3i.
Those wheels are iconic.
My grandad had three as I was growing up, I fell in love with them, watching my favourite person working on these in absolute awe, I have been a fan ever since.
That's an immaculate vehicle man, I'm very envious. It's gorgeous.
Cloverleaf alloys
@@davidwebb8877 aye those! Thanks
Bang on video Jamie. Hero car for me as a kid. Being an 81 child, this is one of the cars I lusted after. Everyone gets obsessed by power and 0-60 nowadays. I'm obsessed by coolness and noise nowadays. Getting older is a privaledge 😃😃😃
Absolutely stunning!! I was a 13 year old drooling over seemingly impossible to insure totally out of my league XR3i's, my step dad laughing at me telling me I'll never earn enough to own one.
At 18 inhaf my first 85 XR3i and then later an RS1600i and then an 87 XR3i.
Well worth the IN10 when I got caught once 😂😂
The 90s were good 👍
I had one exactly the same absolutely loved it
Even without knowing this channel, this is a car that would make me come up and want to talk to you about this car. Such is it’s greatness. 👍🏼
Really cool video Jamie so easy to watch. Just a chilled out cruise down to the beach in an XR3i
Excellent video, you have really inspired me to push with my business ideas,
I really respect what you have achieved and so glad you managed to break free and become successful and now sharing your tools to help others, one of the best TH-cam channels ever..!
Love this. Remember sitting in the back of my Dad's in 85.
1:07 here we have a beautiful piece of automotive history and an appliance disguised as a car
Best ice cream on the Island 100%
I can remember in mid to late 80's nearly every 18-21 year old in Southend owning a XR3. They literally was as common as Fish & Chips 😂
Iconic car and great video buddy. What a beautiful place the Isle of Wight. My s1 and my 16i lived on the island at some part of there lives. I’d love to take them back one day
I had a 1982 XR3i back in the early 90's. It was rusted underneath but it was the dream machine. I resprayed it and it looked great in the original Sunburst Red. GTW495Y I think
Mate that’s awesome, even remembered the reg 👏🏻
A cool old Ford on my favourite island :)
I think that was the best upload for TH-cam ever it was emotional my dad had a white one and I test drove a black one as my first car but I got a 1300 because I thought I wouldn't be able to afford it now I drive a BMW and still wish I was driving that car 🤣
As a 14 year old I always wanted this ahead of the mk1 GTI Golf. Golf was rated as the better car but I felt these looked the business. So iconic for anyone who grew up in the 80s.....
This is one of my dream cars Jamie, back in 1992 I got my first job and managed to save up £700 for my first car, which turned out to be an XR3i lookalike in the same Radiant Red as the one you drove here. It was actually just a 1.3L with the XR3i alloys, bootlid & spoiler and some interior trim, but I absolutely loved it and even remember the reg plate A506WTN. I remember thinking what it must have been like to have an actual XR3i, how fast it must have been- even though they're not! Thanks for this brilliant video, you've made my day 🙂
Nice one Jamie - Love that Escort and a great edit and B roll. Like the contrast with that Tesla!
Absolutely brilliant video, enjoyed everything about it start to end 👍🏼
Hard to tell on my screen, but i would guess that is the later Rosso Red rather than Sunburst Red. Being a November '84 reg. it was right on the changeover from Sunburst to Rosso. The blue piping on the seats and later headrests also suggest this to be a '85 Model Year car in Rosso. I had one identical but on a C Reg. The '84 Sunburst Red cars would have come with red piping on the seats and the earlier bigger headrests that went up at the sides. The rear Escort XR3i decal on the tailgate should be red from the factory, too. Great video.
Definitely sunburst red regards Nick
Deffo sunburst, more orangey, Rosso red was deeper red and would of gone pink by now🤣 My first car was a grey, graphite i think xr3 DBU 21Y never forget the plate, and went on to have another 4 of them including the 130bhp edition that came out 86/87 if i remember rightly
What’s cool cool video! Super chilled and a good watch
Mate I’m so glad to see your back replying to comments😁, good on you mate, such a good video this pal, as stated above it was such an easy watch!..love an XR3i, keep it up pal💯
My father and stepmum in law lived in Godshill for about 8 or 9 years nice to see it show up in one of your videos :)
Love the Old Ford’s one day I’ll have my own
sits so nicely, awesome video too!
Thank you buddy
Great video J, beautiful car. Always preferred the mk4 XR3i. But that’s lovely
Had many escort xr3i mk 3 and mk 4 and convertibles but always loved the MK3
XR3I looks really good
Great video Jamie, you did that car justice. 👍
Nice video Jamie. Always great to see an old school Ford 👌🏻
I had the exact same car back in the day in silver, and although I don't own one anymore, I'm still eating ice creams lol. Nice video Jamie, and an equally nice shirt fella 👍
Really cool XR3i but I would definitely put a bigger exhaust and ditch the pea shooter red is by far the sweetest colour but they look 👀 nasty once the sun has had a go leaving them an orange shade this one is kept in the garage and loved due to there huge price tags
Awesome video !!
I owned a white 1982 XR3i which had blue seat piping. The red XR3is normally had red seat piping, so I think the interior of this example has been swopped out.
What a banging video Jamie🤘🤘🤘greatly edited as usual but as you said on the story
Bloody superb.
Nice car brother had one 👍 in 86 when I was 11 and he picked me up from secondary school and I thought it was fast 😅 he got me into xr3i had two and I am a st fan now 👍 just don't see many xr3i now and I would love to own one again 🤞
I myself owned a black XR3i mk3 back in the early 90's, not the best example as anyone who owned a Ford from this era knows they suffered terribly with tin worm and mine was no exception, but having welded all problem area's and a replica S1 body kit later and on 15's she was back out mile munching but this time in white ?? (It's what all 18 19yr old kids did back then - MAX Power shows anyone???) But what a mint example Jamie 👏 👌 👍
We need the original BMXs in that garage.
Very clean car!
Oh yes 👌🏻
Had so many back in the day as they rusted fast.
Used to get them for £100
Think C reg they changed to rosso red
If only they were still £100!
@@JamieFYD too right had a red 1.4L E reg for £800 in 1998 E662HRT, then a Black 1.6i ghia for £300 B331UKE and a £100 XR3 on an X didn’t have it long as was rotten floors. Just paid a fair amount more for my Strato Silver RS1600i. Then have a Tesla P85D for a daily 😂😂
Reminds me of my youth as I lived on the island from 1970 to 2007 and had the following,
XR3, XR3i, RS 1600i, JPS Ford Capri, 1600 sport Escort mk2, Ford Capri 1600s, Ford Capri 3.0s then my final car on the Island Capri 280. I then moved to London to start my career
What am awesome selection of course! You must know some of these places in the video well
Nice bunch of cars I know I’ve had a fair few 3i’s in mk3 and 4 variety to the point I can’t actually remember how many! At least 6 not including ones I part shared with mates. They were such throw away cars back in the day and were so readily available for a few hundred quid .
@@JamieFYD Yes Grew up on the Island lived in Ryde then Godshill went to School in Ryde as well! I remember the years well especially going to the scrap yards across the island and grabbing the spares as there was an abundance of parts to be had at many scrap yards Cowes, Ryde, Rookley where you used to be based ! Great years and great fun !
Just cool.
Lovely 😋
Car's not bad either, missing the front wheel arch flairs though 🤔
This is great!!!
My mate bought a shed of one in about 1995 in a metallic blue SOE 333Y for £500 We went to Blackpool in it for the weekend from the midlands with a whacking great hole in the exhaust..No licence between us and all four kipping in it on the seafront after a day on the lash!!..Happy day's
Wish I still had the black C reg I had in the late 80s/early 90s. They were tough cars, as a few years earlier I survived a head-on collision in my W suffix XR3.
Top video mate. Are you or Jason doing a club stand at this years Take Over?
my 90´s RS2000 was red and black inside ,they were assembled in Spain
this was a very nice car to drive at the time ,mine was the 1600RSturbo but had this one for 6 monthes in metalic grey with the regular stickers on the car, this maybe was painted and the graphics weren´t available
Love it jamie can i have it for my ford wall :P
EPIC
One day I will meet up with u on iow wood love to see your s1 ill bring my st
Just seen West Bromwich on the back of it lol it’s where I’m from lol
have a mint nimbus grey one up for grabs or swopsies for sunburst red...
When 70's & 80's old fords were silly cheap I was lucky enough to have a MK1 escort mod saloon race car, a built myself MK2 rs2000,a XR3 '81 X plate carbed 4 speed and a series 2 '86 RS turbo, humble brag as all were bargain cheap but cool imo to have all 4 as well as another 8 old bangers/future classics at the same time
St225’s starting to rise in price now 😳
Jamie that 3i looks so much more cool than that Tesla imo. What’s the music you use on the start of the video.? You used it on my series one video too C622FYC 👌👍
my brother had a black 1 in the 90s swo444y the reg was
Had a mk 3 on a b reg years ago bought a mk 4 after on a h reg it wasnt as good as the mk 3 xr3i
i remember hot hatchs like that were rife with car thiefs,insurance was mad back in the day,
Opening scene was epic! Tesla suck!!!
MINT
Should the sills be black or not?
Do you know what, I have no idea
Yes.
That Tesla is a perfect juxtaposition. Not a straight line or a sexy angle in sight.
😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

I think I'm very much in the minority here but I never thought much of the XR3i when they were new and really don't think much of them now.
I always prefered the XR4i and the later 2.0i S and XR4x4 Sierras.
Is this jasons to replace one that was caught in the fire
ffs put the correct numberplates on it!!!!
