This guide provides detailed descriptions of the XE ESP features, including exterior, interior features, mechanical features and important engine and model code information. The ESP optioned cars generally demand far higher prices above others in the Ford XE range, and it is therefore important to understand the features to look for when confirming the originality of a vehicle. Classic Register also maintains a register ofВ XE Ghia ESPВ cars here.
