This car is a must for any retro Ford fan. road going go kart with a lsd box increase traction out of a corner without spinning.

I had one of these little beasts from 1986 to 1990 - best car I've ever had. Did regular runs from Borders to Skye for the weekend - 600 mile round trip mixing motorway, Dual c/way, A roads and silly twisty B roads - ate them all up with ease. Handling was amost F1 like - cornered like it was on rails and was exceptionally forgiving (maybe that was the Pirellis - an expensive luxury!! Slight reliability issues, but like many others on this page, would buy another one tomorrow!

I bought a Mercury Grey XR2 back in 1991 when it was 2 years old. I sold it about 5 years ago and regret it.... the best little car I have ever had. I would love to trace it so see if it is still on the road.

I bought a mk2 XR2 in 1987 and the engine rebuilt by Brogg Bros nr Malton north yorkshire to stage 4 spec producing

160bhp. The car very fast to a dangerous level at times it used to just accelerate away leaving must cars for dead. The only car that it could keep with was a old sierra coswoth. The car had a stage 4 BDA head with holbay cam and used 2 weber 40 DCNF which drank petrol like water average mpg of 10mpg. The only fault was the cars body could not cpe with the extreme power.

It was a very exciting car to drive.

Was my first car at 17 and paid twice the value of the car for the insurance but was worth it. Great little car, excellent road holding, very responsive, good fun, reliable and easy to work on. Biscuit tin build quality and most parts were falling off or rusting especially under the plastic body kit. Would love to own a refurbished one now for a run around.

Fast with all the right mods twin 40dcnf's, kentcam, vernier pulley, high preshure oil pump. 4 brach full stainless ported and polished head poly bushed, braided flexy pipes pure minted.

I've had my Ford Fiesta xr2 for 3 years now and I love it, changed the engine for a 2l zetec. Makes it even more fun now. Great fun to drive,nice road holding ,cheap classic insurace,

cheap parts

The mk2 Ford Fiesta xr2 will out-run a lot of todays car. The handling is still as good as most of todays cars. Stunning car it really is.

At the moment I am building my own plaything, it was my brothers wifes first car a mk1, 957, its now a rear wheel drive supercharged v8 fiesta and finding parts is proving harder than building the car, I need mk1 xr2 bumpers headlights and grill can anyone help.
