My best mate used to have one of them back in the day, when we would walk out of clubs he pressed the alarm key for the lights to flash and girls would want to go home with him. Honestly it was ridiculous
Lovely little motor. A friend of mine years ago bought a brand spanker drove it from the garage to the pub where me and my mate was to show it off. He took us for a spin and my mate puked up all over the back seat 😂😂😂 He was gutted and still went on about it 10 years later haha !
I convinced my mam to buy one because she was Sick of having no power to overtake. First time she drove it she toed it in 5th past a car loving it then shit when she seen she was doing over 100mph up a hill! 🤣 I used to love borrowing it too.❤️💛💚👍
I had 2 of these, a mint red one, and a tatty black one. I absolutely loved the red one, and would give anything to own it again. ❤ That carb sound. ❤❤
I owned one of these for 1 week and I can honestly say I never stopped driving it........a trader I knew payed 450 for it and was too scared to leave it at his home address for the fear of having it stolen (Smiths Wood Birmingham). I had it off him for 650 and I flipped it for 850......must have been 1997. God I wish I still had it...... If I knew then what I know now eh.....
Had a absolutely mint one exactly the same and i loved it ,it didnt even have a bubble or a stone chip,1 woman owner,jack was still in the wrapper, someone knicked it
Good little cars and very sort after especially the 40 somethings wanting to re live there youths. Rekon that will come up a treat and should turn a tidy profit after you finish enjoying yourself. Also prime location to sell it being in Essex.
I had a MK1 xr2 and it was the best fun car I've ever had and I regret selling it now but in the mid 90s they were 2 a penny and I replaced it with a 205 GTi and it was not a patch on the xr2 for fun .
My first ever car, learned a few lessons the hard way with it with regards to buying cars yours is much better considering you bought it blind. Mine turned out to be a shed but for some reason 26 years later wish I still had it.
SALVAGE FLIPPERS Take the spare out and have a look around there, that’s where my 2nd xr2 went. And it smoked like a chimney valve stem seals. Oh and throw a cam belt on it it’s worth it for the sake of a tenner .
And me I had one of them and a xr3i 50 for xr3i and 45 for the xr2 then I done a deal and had a Ford fiesta RS turbo and I'm gutted I didn't put it in a garage and keep it 😢😭 would have been worth loads of money now it was mint aswell 👍
love it :) so many memories came flooding back, i had a white F reg with black and chrome RS 4 spokes from a mk2 RS 2000 and a chrome K&N filter, i had no licence at the time and was well known by the local police officer who drove a mk3 astra van and he seen me driving it early hours in the morning and because i was young and stupid i decided not to stop and he chased me all around my estate but i managed to lose him and just as i got the car back on my drive and was closing my front door a couple of police cars pulled up outside so i ran upstairs and jumped in bed, they started banging on my door so i went to the window and told them i had been in bed all night , they didnt have cameras back then so couldnt prove it was my car they were chasing even though they knew it was haha, i would love to get another but they are way too expensive , i only paid £500 for the one i had
Still miss my black 86 xr2, wrecked by a friend 20years ago. Put a simoni xhoust system on it did help for better topspeed. Live in northern part of norway, good winter car, fast little car, good grip when going fast on twistys road, had newer cars that i had no chanse to go as fast as i did with the fiesta except on the straigts. Been searching for another one, but they were rear even when new here in norway, lots of xr3 and almost non xr2, never seen another xr2 but mine here, only one that i mett in northern part of sweeden, also a black 86mod. Loved that car
Any sills left under the side skirts ? I remember taking mine off back in the day and there was no metal left underneath. Had to scrap it in the end :( (About 16 years ago)
Awesome find I had 1 in red when I was 19 loved it but got too much attention off the pigs got pulled all the time! Engine sounds absolutely sweet didn’t sound tappy or owt
I had a black one of these B reg, first of the MK 2s I was 21 years old, minter.............so I thought, until it’s first MOT when I realised I had been done, entire floor was rusted out, filled and sealed over, I was gutted, could not afford to repair it, 😩 after much tears my dad agreed to help me sort it out, many weeks, grinding, scrounging metal, and welding my dad fabricated a brand new floor, battery tray, and wings, he also had the engine out gave it a port and a polish and a few mods, carb tune and we got it up to 126bhp (felt so fast at the time.) sadly married life put pay to may little XR2, I would love a MK1 super sport now, that was my boy hood dream car.
I had one as a teenger about 25year ago. It was a B reg, sold the pepper pots for about 40 quid cos i put bigger wheels on it. wish i had all my old cars they are worth a small fortune now!
It is in great condition for a 32 year old car and fantastic tp have all that paperwork with 8 owners. No holes for aftermarket speakers in the parcel shelf, what is all thar about. Overall a great buy Grant and please do your bodywork magic and make it look fantastic again. Engine sounds so sweet 👌👌
When I was a boy the dream was a white 3dr, green mk2 rs2000 and a black mk2 xr2...with the saff, mk2 sport and now this youre pretty much living my dream👊😂
I'm shocked that it has a boot floor as they are usually shot and the rest of the little bits it needs are standard issue with all of the MK2s but that one has survived really well you don't find many as good as that, what a result 👍
Had one new and looked after it what I thought was well untill I went overboard one day and wanted to polish behind the plastics, but after pulling them there wasn't much left behind them😁
One of my first motors was a black mk1 1.1 fiesta finesse,was a lovely well finished car,same sunroof as urs,used to take it out and store in the boot on hot days,my only gripe was it was a bugger to start on way home from work,was ford's automatic v v slide choke system, fired up great first thing and run good then parked it at work,come back 5 o clock she just refused to start,I managed to get a fresh weber carburettor off a mk3 escort with manual choke-problem solved,thanks for good memories,I went on to have 3 mk1's best of the bunch in my opinion, would have give my right arm for a black mk1 xr2... 👍
I can remember buying a 88E 60k diamond white example in 94 and then having to replace inner wings, bulkhead, front panel and arches...worryingly you could get every little panel for them. I still would love one but remember they were f**ked 26 years ago...so god knows what the remaining examples are like. Buy a 1.1 pop and re shell
I had the dubious pleasure of owning both the MKI and the MKII of the XR2's back in the mid to late 80's and they both were bad for rot in the inner wings and sills. I see yours has the K&N too which my MKII had done before I got mine, which was a popular mod for the amateur tinkerer. All in all you've got yourself a decent little runner mate. I hope it gives you a lot of smiles coz they are great wee drivers when pressed a bit.
Went with my best mate back in 92 ish to check and collect one of these in diamond white, took it for a test drive with the older lady owner, two roundabouts later she was hanging on for dear life with diamond white knuckles 😂. Loved it, better to drive than my s1 rs, much more fun. Please do a full resto on it Grant, I feel like I’ve a huge void in my life since the rs turbo fiesta series finished. 🙏
It's an XR2 so it's probably had a punch on the nose at some time, but not a big one as it looks like it's still got its' original front wings so it looks like it's just had what would be the bonnet landing panel on a car with a conventional bonnet. That's all very common on a mk2 Fiesta. The roof and pillars all being solid is extremely good news on one of those with a factory sunroof...
NOW, That's Richy. I had a Mk1 in the early 90s and Mk2 XR2 and I gotta say, it’s the Mk1 that I have fondest memories of.. I fitted a cheeky little Peco exhaust and bombed about in it thinking I was the boll*ox... TWG 111Y, you are missed :(
I lost mine (white/black kit) after a night pilled up with a slapper and driving through 3 speed cameras. I sold it the next day to a "mate" but put the sell date 10 days prior. Happy days. I bought a golf after but never had as much fun as the old fiesta and never looked as sweet.
I had a red one.......loved it. Mind you I called it 'Red 1' cos it smoked like a Red Arrows hawk. Once the bonnet and wings started to rot I sorted it up to a fashion and primed it in yellow.....then it looked like a Messerchmitt 109!!!!
1st thing i looked at was parcel shelf lol but looks nice its so nice to see you posting cars i used to see n race around in yrs ago .nice channel and keep it up it nice to see old cars
Cracking little XR! Shame you're not able to twist your own arm a bit more to keep it.... you're spot on with the sound of that start up...... the QUIETEST cvh I've ever heard.. lol
It's just on the cusp, I'd stop the rust in its tracks and just horse it as is. Lovely thing to blast around the streets and if it's a bit frilly around the edges,who cares........just like my Capri
Cant be too many of them left that aint been pranged or stolen recovered . This one looks a great find , well done and a blind buy your not afraid of a gamble then Grant . Nice little find mate.
That is my kind of car. I used to have a 1986 one in red, one of the best cars I have owned and wished I still had it. That is going to make someone a lovely car when you have completed the works.
Pepper potts 4 or 5 full set 100£ or more and the whip is left on bricks Broad daylight in the late 80tees on our mannar and all over the city of Coventry, standed preceadure like all over the UK and Ireland loved it all, 🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🙏🙏🙏🙏
Had a white F plate Mk2 XR2 in the early noughties... needed brakes for MOT and a little bit of tidying, but....I gave it away FREE to the first taker.. yep 🤦♂️
Lovely Xr2 you’ve bought there brings back many memories 😀 I think I remember seeing this advertised on eBay recently was tempted to buy it too😁 Nice one fella
Hi, Grant 👍👍👍👍 new subscriber 👌👌👌👌👌 Looking forward to watching your back catalogue of uploads mate. All the best from your mad VXR nutter Steve !!!!!😜😜😜😜😜
Insurance must of been high for one of these. I passed my test in 96 & bought a 92 nova SR. Isurance was £1200. Was worth it. I always wanted a Renault 5 gt turbo
No multi coloured silicon hose s***t that's always a good sign ,the interior is outstanding really, if that front wing is original I would rather repair than replace .All in all a very clean old car ,when you have given it your touch it will look great .
Nice car mate looks really clean for a mk2 xr2. I bought one exactly the same but with blue pin stripe back in 2003 when I were 15 for £50! Couldn’t afford insurance when I were 17 so had to let it go. Now I can afford the insurance but not the car 😂
My best mate used to have one of them back in the day, when we would walk out of clubs he pressed the alarm key for the lights to flash and girls would want to go home with him. Honestly it was ridiculous
😂😂😂😂👊👊👊👊
Not bad I have a mk2 i restored my self 10 years ago now only comes out 6 months a year a puts a smile on my face every time
👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely little motor. A friend of mine years ago bought a brand spanker drove it from the garage to the pub where me and my mate was to show it off. He took us for a spin and my mate puked up all over the back seat 😂😂😂 He was gutted and still went on about it 10 years later haha !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
Haha brilliant 😂
I convinced my mam to buy one because she was Sick of having no power to overtake. First time she drove it she toed it in 5th past a car loving it then shit when she seen she was doing over 100mph up a hill! 🤣 I used to love borrowing it too.❤️💛💚👍
👊👊👊👊👊
I’m 41 - this looks quality. all my mates had these, Renault 5 GT’s and 205 GTI’s. I had a 1981 beige mini metro!
👍👍👍👍👍
Nick, all my mates had them too. Im 41 and had a beige mk1 fiesta 🤣
That’s was exactly my first car as well. A Beige Austin Metro with 4 gears, brown seats & brown plastic dashboard🤣
mine didn’t have a radio and I had to pull the choke out when the engine was cold. still, at 17, it was better than not having a car.
I had 2 of these, a mint red one, and a tatty black one. I absolutely loved the red one, and would give anything to own it again. ❤ That carb sound. ❤❤
I owned one of these for 1 week and I can honestly say I never stopped driving it........a trader I knew payed 450 for it and was too scared to leave it at his home address for the fear of having it stolen (Smiths Wood Birmingham).
I had it off him for 650 and I flipped it for 850......must have been 1997. God I wish I still had it......
If I knew then what I know now eh.....
😂😂😂👊👊👊👊👊
Fond memories of the XR2 .... I always thought they looked real smart and we all must’ve been a bit slimmer to fit in also 😊👍🚗
👊👊👊👊👊
I had one of these in blue and absolutely loved it.
👊👊👊👊
Proper car! I’ve got 2 of them both white, and tons of spares that I’ve gathered over the years.
👊👊👊👊👍👍👍👍
“He’s actually got an uncut parcel shelf an all” if you know you know 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Ohh yes I know* I cut a few🤦♂️🤣🤣
Like rocking horse shit lol
😂😂
ford were just too cheapskate to put 4 speakers in a car and a tinny stereo unit in the 80s
Had a absolutely mint one exactly the same and i loved it ,it didnt even have a bubble or a stone chip,1 woman owner,jack was still in the wrapper, someone knicked it
😮 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
My first ever car was an xr2 back in 1996/7 loved it f reg so easy to work on did tappets lovely and quiet ,

Also prime location to sell it being in Essex.

Great cars. Mine always put a smile on my face every time I drove it. Sold it for £650 in 1998.
👍👍👍👍
I’d love to see you do a full restore on that xr2 Grant. Oh them pepper pots take me back!. Mint .
👊👊👊👊
I had a MK1 xr2 and it was the best fun car I've ever had and I regret selling it now but in the mid 90s they were 2 a penny and I replaced it with a 205 GTi and it was not a patch on the xr2 for fun .

I’m exactly the same B688FNT Paris blue. To me it was the best car ever. Infinity 6x9,s on the back shelf! . 27 years ago maybe 28.

What a stunner sell the r5 turbos and keep this both proper hot hatches but you are a ford guy through and through it’s a tough one
👊👊👊👊
Agreed get rid off that renault rubbish it made me itch 🤣😜
😂😂😂😂
Had 3 of those over the years in early 2000's could get them for £40 😂
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
And me I had one of them and a xr3i 50 for xr3i and 45 for the xr2 then I done a deal and had a Ford fiesta RS turbo and I'm gutted I didn't put it in a garage and keep it 😢😭 would have been worth loads of money now it was mint aswell 👍
Bought a white D plate one for £150. Insurance was 2k third party fire and theft 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mk2 XR2 was my first ever car back in 1998 ! Great fun car

Grant, this is my unicorn car mate. My older brother’s mate had a red one and I thought it was better than a lambo. Love it mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴
👌👌👌👊👊👊👊👊

Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
SALVAGE FLIPPERS your welcome. Credit where credit is due. 👍🏼
👍👍👍
That will clean up easy...good bag. at least it doesn't look like it's been wrapped round a tree!
And it’s not even a ZVH ! 😂absolutely love it Grant !! You need some 80s music to go with it ! Think you should video a machine polish on that bonnet
👊👊👊👊👊
That’s a nice tidy example 👍🏼😊
👊👊👊👊
I'm shocked that it has a boot floor as they are usually shot and the rest of the little bits it needs are standard issue with all of the MK2s but that one has survived really well you don't find many as good as that, what a result 👍
Yeah I was shocked it’s not to bad 👍👍👍👍
Had one new and looked after it what I thought was well untill I went overboard one day and wanted to polish behind the plastics, but after pulling them there wasn't much left behind them😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😬😬😬😬😬😬

I had the use of a nearly new Mk 1 XR2 at work many many years ago. Great fun to drive.
I can remember buying a 88E 60k diamond white example in 94 and then having to replace inner wings, bulkhead, front panel and arches...worryingly you could get every little panel for them. I still would love one but remember they were f**ked 26 years ago...so god knows what the remaining examples are like. Buy a 1.1 pop and re shell
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a white E Reg one and my dad had a red F Reg one at the same time. Would love one now!
👊👊👊👊
Bit of a patchwork quilt underneath but that’s really not the worst! I would be interested to see what’s hiding behind the body kit.
Nothing we checked it’s all good 👍
SALVAGE FLIPPERS happy days, I’d be interested to see how much you paid for it.
I had the dubious pleasure of owning both the MKI and the MKII of the XR2's back in the mid to late 80's and they both were bad for rot in the inner wings and sills. I see yours has the K&N too which my MKII had done before I got mine, which was a popular mod for the amateur tinkerer.

Nice to see a Mk2 XR2 on youtube, doesn't normally get the love on here. Full resto would be nice. Keep up the good work 👍

Don’t see them on the road these days great fun car
In my opinion the Mk2 was always the best looking of any of the Fiestas.
👌👌👊👊👊👊
NOW, That's Richy. I had a Mk1 in the early 90s and Mk2 XR2 and I gotta say, it’s the Mk1 that I have fondest memories of.. I fitted a cheeky little Peco exhaust and bombed about in it thinking I was the boll*ox... TWG 111Y, you are missed :(

That interior reminds me of my mums old xr2 original back in the day. What a great example! Have fun whatever you do with it

Great buy looks great for its age worth spending money on it prices are strong at the moment on these cars .

@@grantssmartrepairs Know it well ...an old haunt when we run these things in the early 90's. thank you
👊👊👊
My heart skipped a beat when i saw the thumbnail,my first car when i passed my test back in 1994😁
👍👍👍👍
I did my test in 1993.
Insurance must of been high for one of these. I passed my test in 96 & bought a 92 nova SR. Isurance was £1200. Was worth it. I always wanted a Renault 5 gt turbo
@@S.Hitchcock It was high even back then but as you said well well worth it mate. miss my old ride
@@Wilksey75 me aswell. I kept if for 7 year. It was literally dropping to bits when I part exed it in.
No multi coloured silicon hose s***t that's always a good sign ,the interior is outstanding really, if that front wing is original I would rather repair than replace .All in all a very clean old car ,when you have given it your touch it will look great .
👍👍👍👍👍
I had one of this in 1982 it was OK but nothing great it was not easy to drive no power steering and not safe to drive mine got stolen in 1986
My wife and I had one, a blue one loved it. Great to drive.

A car video with the most infectious laugh.
Great find too.

Nice car mate looks really clean for a mk2 xr2. I bought one exactly the same but with blue pin stripe back in 2003 when I were 15 for £50! Couldn’t afford insurance when I were 17 so had to let it go. Now I can afford the insurance but not the car 😂
😂😂😂 always the way 👍👍👍👍
Can’t beat the old pepper pots❤️❤️❤️👍🏻
