Posted By: Simon Sage | Posted On:
The department was created to protect and value the past of Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth.

They lined up rows of brand new red XR3's for them to test which the photos show just how many they were ! Ford were nervous, as all previous Escorts, the Mark 1's & Mark 2's had been rear wheel drive, and the XR3 was first Escort to have front wheel drive. Remember that at launch, the XR3 wasn't fuel injected, it was only on Jan 1st 1983, that the later fuel injected XR3i was available to buy.
