Seems XRi trim by aero kit and alloys

Was XRi a trim?? My late Escort bible does not mention it, although may not fully capture all the late names for every market and does not specifically mention Spanish versions. Various final sporty names in Europe include XR3i, GT, GTi, Sport, Si, and RS (simply a trim pack on Benelux Zetecs from 1998).

Yes it's a version made for Spain

[...] the Escort XRi's main feature was the good value for money. In 1997 it costed 2,100,000 pesetas (20,000 euros today), well below its rivals of similar performances. The standard equipment was not abundant, having to tap into the options to make it more complete, since ABS, passenger airbag or alloy wheels were paid separately. Air conditioning was also optional, but Ford was giving it away as a promotion at the time.

:king: It begins to feel as if every market started using their own names in the final years of Escort trims and editions - a total mess of confusing titles
