johnbaz Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 in the abbeydale tesco store carpark in sheffield last sunday! anyone like her??, i know my lad would, he's had a few XR2's and always loved 'em if she were mine, the 'fly' stickers would get peeled off otherwise i would have liked to have seen her with her top down (ooooer missus ) i hope thaty whoever did the conversion, reinforced the sills so it doesn't fold up john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony Hayers Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Im sure that Crayford built these. And only a handful of about 25.Looks in good nick, however if it were mine I dont think I would take it out in the pissing rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbaz Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 it absolutely hammered down and the carpark entrance was a foot deep in flood...it didn't occur to me that this could have been an original soft top i really thought somwone had converted it in their lock-up john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 according to the internetzzz only 7 crayford xr2 convertibles were ever made, so this is super rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony Hayers Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah, I quite like the Mk1 Fiesta Crayford on the bay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FIESTA-MK1-1 ... 7C294%3A50 sorry for the long link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Apparently the 1300 Ghia model is the 'more common' fiesta fly, with over 25 made, but the XR2 is the rarer of the two. Regardless, what an excellent spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
