This is a genuine ex-works Ford Focus RS WRC, registered V6 FMC and built by Ford Motorsport through Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport operation. In Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya's hands it won the 2000 Rally of Cyprus, finishing 37.4 seconds clear of team-mate Colin McRae. It also took third in Catalunya and second on the Acropolis that year.
McRae and Nicky Grist drove it on the 2001 Swedish Rally, where it slid off into a snowbank, was pushed back onto the road by spectators and finished ninth with the gearbox stuck in sixth. It later won the 2001 Italian Rally Championship in ERG livery. A Norwegian driver, Valter Jensen, bought it in 2002 and kept it for almost 25 years, until 2025.
The car is now back in the UK with an archive that includes the M-Sport purchase invoice, export papers, a Gold Logbook and engine rebuild records. Dom Buckley Motorsport has recommissioned it with a cambelt and fluid service. The rebuilt engine has covered under 100 km since. Lamp pods, bumper pods and a spare set of wheels are included. The odometer reads competition mileage, so no road mileage is given. The price is on application.

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Ford/M-Sport World Rally Championship technical specs: 2.0 Zetec-E turbo, about 300bhp (restricted). Weight left out because the 1,230kg figure is the FIA minimum, not a kerb weight).
