Introduction
Glyn Parry
The Ford XR2 was build to be driven - this boxy hot-hatch from the golden era has been given a new lease of life.
The XR2 is a hot hatch variant of the first-generation Ford Fiesta, only offered in Europe. The XR2 was originally powered by an OHV derivate of the Escort RS1800's engine offering a modest 84bhp. With new top speeds and nimble handling, this hot hatch became a cult car beloved by the 'boy racers' of the '80s. This example had a punchy upgrade in the form of a Mondeo Zetec 2.0L engine swap, producing figures upwards of 154BHP.
Chris has enjoyed ownership and uprating the car over the previous 11 years, having the majority of the work carried out through 2014. He has only covered ~3,000 miles in the car since. We really love the fun factor of this car paired with its serious driving and handling abilities.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Chris the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

The Mondeo engine had high miles so was completely rebuilt prior to fitting. Everything checked and replaced where necessary, with the throttle bodies on it is like a new motor starts on the button and a steady 600rpm idle.
Last MOT before rebuild was 20000 miles so could have been 20 or 120 k again everything was renewed at rebuild hence resetting odometer to 0.
How many miles did the mondeo engine have on it? Any idea of total mileage the car has done?
