Indeed.
I had a real one, A reg, Rosso Red.
Happy days.
I thought all mk3 XR3is were sunburst red (almost orange)?
Find me a Series 1 RS Turbo

Nope white red & black 3is, I think the RS1600i's were red and blue and there was some very rare colours eg I think the S1 Turbo came in silver but only a very few, but I'm not 100% sure
I know that mk3 XR3is come in those colours but I've never seen a rosso red one. I've only ever seen sunburst red ones, that was my point. I was being a bit more specific than just 'red'.
yup all white from the factory bar one black car for a very special customer(Princess Di), although that came with a few different bits ie 5 bar front grille as opposed to a 3 bar
Sure it was Rosso, well, it was more orange until you T-Cutted it! - perhaps it was Sunburst, I don't remember.
All White the S1 RST's with a few notable exceptions....
Princess Diana's RST Custom, with Factory Black, not an option for lesser mortals!
^ Same car in a collection.

As far as I remember the only red you could have the Mk3 XR3i was Sunburst. I don't think Rosso was out at the time.
Mine was the same colour as that RS1600i in the pic I posted above Lopéz - Sunburst then?
I had a 3i which had the all the RS1600 stuff on it like that one in the picture. Happy days.
About a year or two later I had a late (boomerang spoiler) G reg S2 RS Turbo with all kinds of stuff on it (konis t/a's, tubetorque, x-drilled/grooved discs etc etc.) Was plenty fast at the time, but ruined me financially lol. Sold it within 12 months.
