That's great - I'll have to tell my mate as he bought a black one a year or two ago.

I think he bought it as a homage to the Caspian Blue one that we used for so many track days back in the 90s - it was the only car that did every one and never broke down!

We are running it from the Facebook page, if he is on that?

For any XR4i fans out there, the 2019 national day will on the south front lawn of Gaydon national car museum on Sunday July 14th from 0930 till 1600, we are expecting about 35 to 50 cars, a very high percentage of the remaining cars, pop along and say hi.

Cheers for the heads-up Tony. If the weather is nice I might pop along to that

Really enjoyed my old one

Great thread, only just discovered it.

We had a black one, A66 LUB, bought off my dad’s mate for relative peanuts and run as a second family car when I was an impoverished student. Mega reliable apart from the windscreen wiper mechanism failing in a biblical downpour on the M6 en route to my cousin’s funeral in Northampton. Rather than wait for recovery we improvised a return mechanism with a bungee cord, worked well enough to see us through the storm and made the church service in time.

My brother then took it to Jersey when he moved to live there, was a great runabout for him but sadly the sea air did for it and it got scrapped in the early 2000’s.

Would love another!
