Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre on Saturday the 7th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
Introduced in 1983, the high-performance XR4i utilised the same 2. 8-litre Cologne V6 and 5-speed gearbox as the Capri 2. 8 Injection fitted in a restyled version of the 3-door Sierra bodyshell
The double rear spoiler and multi-pillared rear windows were considered over-styled by some prospective buyers and, at the time, the car did not achieve the cult following of its smaller siblings
With the passing of time, however, these, now rare, cars are becoming increasingly sought after
First registered in 1984, this example has had just three previous keepers and undergone a previous full restoration
Superbly presented in Diamond White, over light grey velour trim with red piping around dash inserts and centre console, it sits on 14-inch 'pepper pot' alloys
Part of a private collection for the past 5 years with minimal use so may require some recommissioning before regular use
Supplied with its original handbooks, extensive history, and a photo album detailing the restoration
"A sporting saloon for all seasons" Auto Express said in the day, and this stunning example is offered at a very attractive guide
