Missed out the very important bit
Ah yes only has 2912cc's under the bonnet....just the plain Vanden Plas Princess 3 litre.
...has proved to be a treasure trove. Not least Rob's workshop in Norwich, and the super totally appropriate little car he drives round in...Vintage Audio thread

SmallIn August 1983 the Fiesta mk1 range was replaced by a more rounded mk2 version. The same basic bodyshell was used but given a new smoother front end and re-styled tailgate. As usual Ford chose to hold back the sporty model until the normal range had made its mark on buyers, so no XR2 to be seen. Except for sneak previews in the " Ford Sales Staff only" confidential literature which showed a black left hand drive XR2.
The earliest UK Fiesta XR2 mk2 models to be registered were the Ford press fleet in May 1984, having been built in April 1984 (EG build date code).
