When Ford launched the Mark 3 Fiesta in 1989, they found themselves with a quantity of 1600 CVH XR2 engines which would otherwise be obsolete, and so the new 1.6s model featured a rear spoiler, spotlamps, and the options of electric windows, remote tailgate release and central locking. After producing a number of these to use up the last of the older XR2 engines, Ford launched the XR2i.

The new XR2i produced 110bhp, 20bhp more than the XR2 and 1.6s, and featured a full bodykit, blue stripe around the car, and 13” alloys. Also present was the same tailgate spoiler as the 1.6s, velour “Zolda” trim and electrical options as standard. Blue plastic “XR2i” trims adorned the carpet by the sills. The XR2i was available in Black, Radiant Red, Diamond White or Mercury Grey, lasting until 1992 when the new Zetec-engined XR2i 16v was launched. 

The new XR2i 16v arrived in May 1992 with the 1800cc 16 valve 105ps (104bhp) Zetec engine from the MK5 Escort XR3i, and the same EEC-IV management as the Fiesta RST. Visually, the 16v was more up to date, with body coloured wing mirrors and larger 14” alloy wheels. Alongside other trim enhancements, the 16v also had the same “winged” seats from the XR3i, with supportive side and shoulder bolsters, and net pockets on the backrests. Production ran to 1993.

This August 1992 model, ordered in Pacific Blue, was purchased by its one and only lady owner from local distributor Clevedon Ford Garage, and has since remained in the Bristol area to the present day. Last granted an MoT certificate in 2021 (at the current mileage), the Fiesta has recently been stored following the passing of its owner. Complete with its original bill of sale, this classic 90s hot hatch is offered complete with both keys and original registration document.
