Ford Fiesta XR2 MRII

Bought may XR2 back in May 1990 and still own it to this day. due to work it still remains in the garage and currently I can't get it to fire yet it turns over. It's always had dry weather use.

Classic car not many left in good standard condition rising in value. mine is 21 years old and runs perfect the best handling car i have owned. driving position is great.

Fast becoming a classic. Not many standard and in good condition left. You will stand out in the traffic. Quite fast off the lights but could do with more bhp. Cornering is faultless. Quite good on petrol. The interior is very comfortable and driving position just right. Rising in value really great car to drive.

I used to own an F Reg Ford Fiesta XR2 MkII in black that my friend and I turboed. It was standard looking apart from RS Turbo whels and the b great exhaust coming out of the back. We put an Escort RS turbo engine in it and I then got the engine tuned to 187 BHP by power engineering. This car was the ultimate pocket rocket and it left many a cosworth owner at the lights with their jaws on the floor.

The Mark II is by far (in my opinion) the best looking of all the Fiestas and considering how cheap they are now, they're a bargin for anyone looking for something with cheap insurance and some good power. Be careful of rust though, it's very difficult to find a clean one these days and if the engine has done more than 100,000 miles without service history, you may be looking at a new one or a rebuild. The carbs can sometimes play up too, especially the auto-choke.

If you do get one if you and you want to modify it, make sure you do the suspension (mine stuck to the road afterwards) and you really have to change the brakes, especially if you want to turbo it, as the standard ones are poo.

I Bought my Ford Fiesta XR2 MRII for 300 pounds, I think its got a high lift cam but not sure. For the money the performance is great. Sounds great to, handles better than XR2i.The engines becoming a little smokey but for the money I paid for it, if it only lasts a year its value for money. Hope to get another one in better condition so I can start modifying it. A true classic hothatch. GET ONE

i have had a few Ford Fiesta XR2 MRII's now , my latest being the one you see at the top of the page , all round a good car , it was cheap to buy and they are cheap to modify , especially if you do the work yourself. you can pick one up with tax and mot for a couple of hundred quid , or a project for about 50 quid , what other car can you have nearly 100 bhp for that little cash. i have learnt quite a lot about this car now so if you have any questions or problems feel free to contact me [email protected] .

i bought an xr2 a few months ago, the gearbox was broke, i got a recon box for £50 and me and a mate fitted it ourselves, the car was pretty tatty when i got it, ive sorted the rust and a few engine parts that nedded replacing.

She runs sweet,the parts are so cheap, i had a 1.4 clio b4, this thing absolutly thrashes it! and it was half the price! these cars are well cool, I want to fint a mint one so i cant put a turbo lump in it,

so if any ones knows of a mint one e-mail me!

I have owned one for 8 yrs and it has only broken down once with a broken feul pump. I run it with spending as little as possible and its done well over 100,000 miles. Its got just under a 100 horses under the bonnet and with its light weight its just spot on for hill climbing. If you get one keep hold of it,the xr2 is a future classic.

A F*****G S**T HOT SEXY, NICE, FASTISH CAR.

WHAT DO U EXPECT ITS A FORDY!!
