The Ford Escort XR3 made it's first appearance back in September 1980 and it was to become one of the best ‘Hot Hatchbacks’ and family car's of the 1980s. Building on the XR3’s success, other XR-badged Fords followed, all providing a level of pleasure, performance and driveability which lifted them into a different league from their competitors. This original print by Golden Era celebrates Ford's respected XR models from the Escort XR3, the original high-performance version of the front-wheel drive Escort, to the Sierra XR4x4, Ford's first 4wd production car in Europe.
