1990 Ford XR3 Cabriolet 1.4 LHD. One owner with only 3 years use.

1990 LHD Ford Escort XR3 Cabriolet 1.4CVH. 29,050 kms/18156 miles only – only 3 years of use in 32 years!

Finished in stunning Radiant Red with its original black vinyl cabriolet hood and grey hood cover. 

With only one owner, the car was bought new in Italy and kept specifically for use on the family’s annual summertime visit to their second home in the Southern Italian province of Isernia. For 28 years, the car was kept in Italy, always garaged safely and quite literally used for one month of every year during this time.

The holiday home was eventually sold in 2018 and the car was bought back to Berkshire, registered, and used sparingly, most of the mileage completed for its annual MOT check. 

The service booklet was unfortunately misplaced during the move but there is a signed declaration from the former owner authenticating the mileage and provenance.
