About this car

The Mk2 Focus RS is one of the best-loved fast Fords of its era: a 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual, with the RevoKnuckle front suspension and a Quaife limited-slip differential keeping torque steer in check. Power is 301 bhp, enough for 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds.

This 2009 (59) car is finished in Performance Blue Metallic with a black RS Dynamica interior and blue stitching. At 33,550 miles it has covered little more than 2,000 miles a year, and it is described as original and unmodified, with a single enthusiast owner's care evident throughout.

A comprehensive history file documents its servicing. Low mileage, standard specification and a documented past are what matter most with early Mk2 RS models, as many have been modified or heavily used.
