Is this the most Essex car ever?

[FRA53R]

As per the title, found this whilst trawling the classifieds, and all I could think was that if you needed an idea of what pure 80's Essex 'Style' was, this is it.

I quite like that actually, but can see it being a marmite car.

Thats been for sale for years bless it!
I love capris but the tickfords styling while done for good reasons is gopping!

I would raise you a white xr3 cab with white roof n white leather seats,cant post a pic as on the phone but they r out there!

I do too. I can remember those Tickfords Capri's being copied by a few 2.8 Injection models back in the 80's.

Too expensive for me back then. I had to get by with my white XR3i.

Modern Essex has to be a white TT?

I'm with you in the white xr3 cab. Nothing defines essex more than that car.

They were probably the bodykits by KAT who succeeded in fking up the appearance of many cars of that era.

iconic car from my yoth, never really been a huge fan of the road dinosaur, i suspect much of their appeal comes from being in so much cool TV, Minder, The Professionals, The Sweeny

Yep it's got be the XR3i for Uber Essexness.

That Capri is not too bad really, though I think perhaps optimistically priced...

[Alfanatic]

I was expecting an XR3i on the end of that link too.
