The base car is obvious so no points to gain there. However, if you can correctly identify the company name behind this example please, a point might become yours.

The car partly looks like a Ford Escort RS1700 T..., but,..., no hood louvers, small fenders (?),..., different fog lamps in the bumper...?
A tuning-version of a stock XR3, XR3i?

You are on the right road as it is a tuned version of a Ford Escort XR3, etc.

No, not that one as the front bumper design is different, as you say. Keep on hunting...

Yes that's the one as I had a feeling you might find it. Another point to add to your growing collection, and here's some additional images of this mid-1980s body styling kit for the Escort Mk III.
