Ford Escort XR3 (1984) – 29,000mls – 1 oF30 F1 Brazil Pace Cars 1984
General description :
Taking advantage of a commercial association with FOCA ( Formula One Builders Association ), and the big publicity of the F1 Brazil GP that was held in Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro, Ford introduced the Escort XR3 as a “car-godmother” in the proof and launched the special series Escort XR3 Pace Car. – Only Diamond White with two-tone blue side bands with the inscription “Pace Car Formula 1 Brazil” in white, adding the “Formula 1” emblem in blue on the cap rear, in the same font of the letter “Escort XR3” on the trunk lid and “Ford Motorsport” sticker. Ford decided to take advantage of the event to launch a limited special series of the XR3, which was sold as an official replica of the car’s sponsor. The Escort XR3 Formula 1 Pace Car had only 30 units manufactured, being one of the rarest special versions produced in Brazil. Less than half of the copies have their whereabouts known, and this is possibly the only well preserved copy currently on sale.DUE TO BREXIT THERE IS THE RISK OF HAVING TO PAY A CLASSIC CAR TAX BETWEEN 5-12% DEPENDING ON THE COUNTRY FOR CARS UK/EU OR EU/UK – I CAN OFFER AN OPTIONAL DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE AVOIDING THE EXTRA TAX COST THIS CAR IS LOCATED IN THE UK/ENGLAND and sold on behalf of our UK partner.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
