Our XR3i's original 1597cc CVH engine has been carefully mated to a 16V Zetec head. 🤝

Combined with full electronic engine management, the car now makes 150bhp – over 50 per cent up on original Ford specification. 🔥

Of course, it would be straightforward to radically increase power output - but the character of the car would be lost, rather than enhanced.

It was another first for Furst last weekend as our Lola T212 took victory in class (P2 overall) at the Historic Sports Car Club Spring Trophy.

A weekend spent with historic endurance racers at Donington Park is always a pleasure, but taking home silverware makes it all the sweeter. 🏆

Introducing the Tolman Edition Ford Es**rt XR3i! 🤩

Our latest one-off commission pairs sensitive improvements with the charm that made the car an ‘80s favourite.

The result is an Es**rt XR3i that looks just like the one the customer craved as a teenager and performs far beyond what the original could deliver.

Amongst the updates: bespoke-built 15" alloy wheels that modernise the appearance and vastly improve fitment options over the original 14" spec, as well as the sunroof, crafted from scratch with custom tooling.

"It would have been easier to slot in modern running gear in a restored shell, but the experience and emotional connection the customer came to us to replicate would have been lost. We’ve got more commission projects this year as we find more customers want a more personal restomod.” - Chris Tolman.
