I learnt to drive in my mums Mark III 4-door 1.6, they were quite angular and "light" looking and front-wheel drive. For some reason the two door estate was always the coolest looking one.
A Mark III XR3 or even XR3i was quite something to desire in those days. The R2000 version would be "some motor" as they say. I did drive an XR3 for a bit; it was a lot of fun but prone to rust and not the sort of thing a 20 year-old should be let anywhere near!
Good luck with your search sgoti.
