Anyone know if an '83 XR3i with reg JNO 2Y is still alive?

[AD64]

Does anyone know whereabouts of an Escort XR3i with the reg number JNO 2Y? - presume it was white originally -

just found some images of it at Brands Hatch in 1983 when it was 1 of 4 cars used as part of the Marlboro Challenge (junior racing talent finding competition) - got to meet hero James Hunt as well - would love to know if it still exists or ended up in a ditch!

Cheers
Andrew

No it lasted until 1993. https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app...

Hi, sorry for the 8 year delay, but was interested in this car. It belonged to my friend from 91 to 93 in Surbiton, Surrey. I drove it several times, but never did me or my friend know it was driven by James Hunt. As far as i remember, it didn't look like it was going to last that long, it was feeling like nearly past its time. I guess, as it wasnt taxed since 93, my friend may have dumped it or gave it away. It was not worth having at that time.

I did a brief search for this XR3 as well. But like most early XR3s, their attrition rate is Dire....
