British ( Durham ) Police

Ford Escort XR3i 1/76 scale diecast model car

by Oxford

1/76th scale diecast model of a Ford Escort XR3i as used by the Durham Police in Britain.

The XR3, introduced three years earlier, straddled the divide between being a three-door, state-of-the-art family car and the powerful instrument loved by young - mostly male - drivers. The XR3i came with an improved spec including a modified engine system giving 105bhp at 6000 rpm, a top speed of 120 mph and a 0-60 time of 8.5 seconds. The car's visual racy image included alloy wheels, special tyres and a large rubber spoiler. Several police forces purchased these cars and here we show one in Durham Police paintwork with the registration A278 BJR.

Model produced by Oxford.

Model comes mounted in a perspex display case.
