Hi all, Im from down under New Zealand, Where convertalbe escorts are few and far between.I have a bit of a dilemma tho, I own two, the black one i have owned for a number of years, and to be fair has seen better days.The gearbox gave me no end what of trouble, so i bought the red one for a donor car. What i would like to know is, did they bring out a special model in these cars, or have i just got one that has had extra bits added. The black one has got the twin round lights and different wheels, body skirts, recaro interior, electric windows, it also has abs brakes, which none the red one has none of, at this point im looking to put all the blingy bits on the red one, but if the black one is a special edition or something like that, it would be my interest to do that. Any imput wouuld be greatly appreciated

thanks marc

i will have to get some more pics, the ones i have taken are to big to upload :sad:

HI

welcome to the cabriolet club

They made lots of special edition models of the xr3i .Then ford sold lots of extras too like bodykits wheels

the round lights sound like morrettes and the later cabs did get fitted with abs :>)

take a look at some of the brochures on here and it will give you an idea

look forward to seeing some pics

regards Ollie
