2003 | Ford Focus RS

This outstanding, high quality Ford Focus RS MKI has covered just 24500 miles from new and comes with a fully comprehensive history to include its original bill of sale. Sky Ford (Watford) supplied the Ford RS on the 3rd January 2003 to a Company on behalf of the Managing Director of a Motorsports business supplying products to international race teams. The RS was used for shows and events, one of these being the Company’s 21st Anniversary event at Castle Combe Circuit. Finnish World Champion Rally driver Hannu Mikkola was the guest of honour and used the RS to go from the hotel during his stay, signing the drivers sun visor to mark the occasion.

Whilst the condition of this car is quite simply exquisite, the paperwork is equally as impressive. With the original sales invoice is the sales receipt, tax discs from 2003, MOT's back to its very first in 2006, service invoices, all original books and manuals and spare key. The service history log is impressive, the supplying dealer serviced the RS at 1519 and 5043 miles, then Elkins Ford in Wiltshire looked after the car from 2005 to 2015 with services stamped at 8183, 13375, 15269 and 22122 miles. The cars next service was just a few hundred miles later at 22623 and the most recent owner based in North Yorkshire had the Ford serviced with Lookers Ford in Middlesbrough at 24104 miles.




The recent owner works off shore and has barely used the car in recent years but it's been kept in excellent order, last MOT tested in November 2023 when it had brand new front discs and pads. The condition is first class, clearly always a garaged car and show piece, the bodywork and paintwork are exceptional. The car is sharp, nicely detailed with excellent wheels, stunning engine bay and all trims and glass pristine as expected with such a low mileage car. The leather interior is beautiful and original, carpets, dashboard, headlining all perfect commensurate with a low mileage properly looked after collectors car. The car is of show level quality and on the road this MKI RS is fantastic fun. The turbo charged engine offers impressive performance, the five speed gearbox perfect and handling feels first class, this rally inspired icon has a unique flair and charisma, it's a powerful, super fun hot hatch that has become incredibly sought after and desirable, With just 4501 built, and with this cars super low mileage and history, it is without doubt a real collectors piece.
