Hi all, is there a dedicated mk2 xr2 brochure like the mk1 xr2 had? Or was the mk2 xr2 just displayed in the Ford Cars range brochure?

If there was a dedicated brochure, were there 2? One for early and one for when the changed the interior etc later on in the production cycle.

Also, does anyone know where I can obtain one?


Cheers

"Xr2 brochure"

:)
Looking on eBay, there seem to be mk1 brochures and European mk2 brochures.
But the UK ones seem to be part of the ford cars magazine.
I don't have any but if anyone does, I'd imagine stu ( redexr2 ) does.

Yeah I've tried that many times Jason. Not sure what that face is all about though?


I'm guessing Stu would have the answer, tried finding him on facebook but no luck. Think I roughly remember where he lives from my trips years ago but that would be a bit random and rude!

The face?
A smiley face. :)

Stu? I wasn't suggesting you went to see him.
Send him a message on here.

As for eBay.
There are quite a few on there right now.

There are no mk2 xr2 brochures on eBay Jason, that's why I'm seeking help on here.

I now you weren't suggesting to go see him, just that I know him from years ago and my time in the fiesta gang. And I know he's the man with the knowledge

As far as I know there weren't any stand alone XR2 mk2 brochures in English - there was a mk1 version - Ford did a big piece on the mk2 when it was launched in the June 84 Ford Cars brochure so that's the one you want for a full run down. Ford did produce a "confidential ford dealers only" brochure about the XR with all the usual hype to lure the customer complete with a section on the "competition"....metro/nova etc giving some info on why the fiesta was so much better than the others. Modern advertising standards probably wouldn't allow that these days. I do have this brochure in scanned form somewhere so when I can find it and the time ( just on here for a quick peek now) I'll try and upload it on this thread.

Ok thanks Stu.

I have the June 1984 Cars brochure, funny looking seat head rests in there I must say!

Here's another quick request...

When was the mk2 xr actually launched?


Cheers
