| Inside the June 1984 issue of "Cars" Ford showcased the XR2 in a two page spread |

| There were two distinctly different versions of the XR2 mk2.The early car (1984-86) had a grey steering wheel & dashboard binacle surround.It also had a centre console with a draw built in for cassette storage. |
 |
| The early interior trim was called "rainbow",a black material with pinstripes in the centre sections. The early trim was unique to the XR. This angle gives a better view of the early centre console. Very early XR2 mk2s had head rests which had "ear shaped" edges,but from late 1984 onwards they were cylindrical in shape |

 |
| In 1986 the XR2 was revised with a new "monaco" trim & black steering wheel/binacle surround."Rosso" was now the red. |
 |
| The mountain climbing theme hung around though |
 |
| Whilst endowing the XR with a new interior trim Ford "forgot" to install the drawer centre console & remote boot release mechanism.The console was now a puny tray. In 1988 the red became "radiant".The image to the left shows just how bright it is compared with "rosso". |
