Guest frosty Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi all, first post so here goes. I have just purchased a 1989 cabriolet which has xr3i badging which looks original but v5 says1.6i cab, do i have an xr3i? as i have read a few reports stating different things, i would like to be a member of the XR club aswell as cabriolet one. The interior etc all point to being an xr3i. Sorry if this has been covered before but its bugging me. I have been told its a xr3i but apparently alot were registered 1.6i.

gingergman Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) some were registerd as a 1.6i, aparantly something to do with insurance, it will be exacly the same as a xr3i, engine, spec etc etc, if your anal about it then technicly its not a xr3i altho its exactly the same lol.
