gernster Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Morning all, hope this post doesnt break any rules, but Krujoes inbox is full and it looks like sambaS has moved to Hong Kong! 14 years ago i used to own the XR3 in this thread and now i have a bit of cash in my pocket and time on my hands i would like to track it down. I think sambas has sold it now, but if anyone knows him or knows where the car is now can they get in touch please? http://autoshite.com/topic/27746-april-2018-calendar/ cobblers 1
gernster Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 When i owned it: When i sold it. I bought a rotten rs1600i, swapped the pretty bits over. Think i put it back on cloverleafs to sell and flogged the rs 500 wheels separatley John F 1
tapir Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 sorry can't help with locating but the MOT history is interesting - kangaroo'ing mileage...Quite a fail list in 2017 too, but was MOT'd until April 2018https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ Good luck in your search!
Crispian_J_Hotson Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 http://autoshite.com/topic/12482-ford-escort-xr3-bits-needed/ It sounds like it's had one hell of a bumpy end. It was slated down for resto in 2012 but later pics and mot suggests it was still being dragged around. Google images brings up a few images other than fridge freezers. I should think it's laying around in a shed somewhere still, so there is some hope. Wherever this place is... More so than what I have getting back my mk1 polo, I know that it was cut up with a spoon into bite sized chunks.
gernster Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 Aye, she was mint when i had her, original panels and paint, never been welded!
John F Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 This XR3 was A-framed down to Shitefest 2013 from Joe's place but it was in pretty horrendous shape - it was running, and indeed did a few laps of the Field of Dreams, but really needed a full restoration which I doubt it's had since then. I'll drop Joe an email to see if he can shed any light onto its current whereabouts.
gernster Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 Hi john, ive spoken to joe, hes not sure what sambas done with it ( i think he sold in in june 2017) so its edd i need to get in touch with.
KruJoe Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 We're in the DMs... that storage in the pic was the last of Edd's that I know of, in North Yorkshire, after the car left my place.
KruJoe Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 PS... that pic was one of mine, from these I just found, taken the day I helped SambaS move some cars to his new place.
Braddon81 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Edd is still on Fb, perhaps it might be worth a Pm on there. He still posts on Samba and Talbot related things on there occasionally. gernster 1
