XR3 Ford Escort - Home Made Top Gear style
A home made Top Gear style movie about the Ford Escort XR3. Featuring my two cars LYP (stored) & YNO (the one now running). Designed to bring back memories for those that had one (or those that didn't), with shots all around the cars. I hope you like it.
At the middle to end of 1982 the 1600i and RS turbo were still to come out, so the XR3 was the top of the range Escort at that moment in time. The Escort was the UK's and the world's top selling car in 1982, and it had been voted European car of the year in 1981.
LYP I bought in 1986 when it was 4 years old, and I just turned 25. It hasn't run since 2008 and is in long-term storage. YNO I bought in 2008 and I have done that up too. YNO won a trophy at a car show in 2011 and is running - it is roadworthy. Quite a special car.
May the Ford be with you. Filmed in Romford, at the Cardrome, and Bretons Farm. Music is from The Mummy, plus tracks called The Kraken, Drive, Real Wild Child, and The Chief.

The Geferators on the engine aid compression and improve fuel economy' That is all I know after asking the first owner about them. I don't know how they work, or if Fords fitted them or not. Mind you it would be easy to remove them as they just screw into the Exhaust manifold. They seem to be some sort of diaphragm contraption. I've never seen them on any other car!
Update - someone who fitted these said they are aftermarket additions. They could easily be removed it needed. But they are probably the only example of them on any car still running I reckon.

Ford Escort XR3 filmed in 2008
Memories of the World's and the UK's top selling car of 1982, the Ford Escort. The top model in Sept '82 (when this particular car was registered) was the XR3. Most popular colour was black. This particular car doesn't move often and is in storage, so enjoy these shots. LYP is original and still has many of the parts it had from new. This was the car measured up by Corgi and Sunstar for their collectors models.
This car is now off the road. I have another one which is roadworthy.
MCPS licence 5965. Music is Magic Fly by Space.
Mk5 Ford Escort XR3i soft top.
Shots of the car in 2009, and a brief (poor man's) Top Gear style presentation, just to give a bit of history. The Ford Escort car range was in production from 1968 to 2003 in the UK, and six versions covered that period. This car is a 1992 Mk5 105ps XR3i, and is the topless version with a manual hood. Engine is a 1.8 litre Zetec. It is original apart from the 16 inch Mondeo alloy wheels. Knightrider lights were fitted for filming. Filmed at Hainault, whilst the sun was setting. Music is from www.akmmusic.co.uk and is track seven from 'Cool Grooves'. www.calvertfilm.fsnet.co.uk
Ford Escort XR3 Review Top Gear Style (budget version)
Southend Saturday night shots followed by a brief review of the famous hot hatch car, the XR3, in this case my car YNO 910X. I was driving in circles around Hornchurch swimming baths mostly, plus a little at Bretons and the Cardrome. Music is Close (to the Edit) by Art of Noise, and Cars by Gary Numan. Facts believed to be correct at time of going to press (and as much as my research showed). Enjoy! Thanks to everyone who is on this.
