MsDano85gt Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) ford escort xr-3 same escort a "turbo" version with custom hood/ front clip combo (otherwise same car different front clip and hood and decal sheet) ford escort III x1 "kamei" ( European customizing company??) should be good fun builds I made the mistake of trading away the other xr-3 version I had build up (this one will be here to stay) Edited February 5, 2015 by MsDano85gt
oldcarfan Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I love those!I have a couple of these somewhere. I should build them some day.
beeRS Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I have one of these kits boxed by 'Matchbox'. I also had a 1:1 XR3 back in the 1980's. They used to be every Boy-Racers dream car over here. Look forward to seeing your progress. Edited August 28, 2013 by beeRS
MsDano85gt Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 resurrecting an old thread for you (Faust) this is a pic of the 3 versions i have
fantacmet Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I didn't even know they made these as kits. I wish they'd reissue them. Id' buy a few. Still need to pickup some Gremlins and Pacers.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Love those little cars. The were manufactured here too, and I always liked their design. Ours was just like the one in red on the box art.
MsDano85gt Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 Escort = small overall Good fun to drive car (manual transmissions of course)

Atmobil Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 ford escort III x1 "kamei" ( European customizing company??) Kamei is German producer of stylingparts for cars (and some other things) http://www.kamei.de/aussendesign_de.html They even produced what I belive must be one of the first frontspoiler for a vw beetle back in the 50s. I would not call it pretty but this is today superrare and higly collectable.
