The Appeal
The MK1 Focus RS truly is a fantastic enthusiast’s car, bridging the gap between retro performance Fords, and a then-new era of modern hot hatches. Equipped with the likes of a turbocharged 2L four-cylinder, Quaife LSD, and Brembo brakes, it’s certainly no slouch, and offers a superbly enjoyable driving experience, packed with character.
This RS is a fantastic example of the highly regarded hatchback, benefitting from years of caring ownership, and attentive maintenance along the way. With the exception of a few very light modifications and welcome mechanical upgrades, it's also a near-standard example, making it the perfect contender for those looking for a blank canvas or collection piece.
With tidy examples of these MK1s becoming increasingly rare, this opportunity is definitely not one to be missed.

The History and Paperwork
- Just 4 former keepers, with 88k miles on the clock
- Well-maintained example, with a large portfolio of service history
- Last serviced 30th January 2023, at 88,388 miles
- Advisory-free MOT until 11 February 2024
- Includes the original booklet pack, V5C document, an extensive folder of maintenance history, and 2 keys
- More than ready to be enjoyed
The Interior
- Features black leather Sparco sports seats, with charcoal Alcantara details, and Racing Blue stripes. The seats are in excellent order, with only the expected light signs of wear & use to be found, mostly with the driver’s seat
- Fitted with tidy charcoal carpeting throughout, adorned with the original RS floor mats, which now show only the expected signs of wear & age
- Equipped with a Ripspeed head unit, Alpine subwoofer, and Pyramid amplifier
- Overall, the interior of this beautiful Focus RS presents itself in great condition for the vehicle’s age and reflects plenty of care. There are of course the expected signs of wear to note, but hardly anything that significantly detracts from the form or function
The Exterior
- Finished in the signature Imperial Blue, and presented in excellent condition with seemingly only minor blemishes, particularly to the front & rear bumpers. There is also light bubbling on the boot handle, although this appears to be in its early days
- Fitted with the correct 5-spoke 18” OZ alloy wheels, which present themselves well for their age, although a light refurbishment would no doubt alleviate the minor signs of age and blemishes now shown. The wheels come wrapped in pairs of Sumitomo and Toyo tyres, with plenty of tread left to enjoy
- This Focus RS’s exterior certainly presents itself very well for its age and offers a near factory-standard finish, free from significant modification. There are of course minor blemishes to note, such as the expected light scratches, front-end speckles and the aforementioned boot handle bubbling. That said, these are arguably nothing short of what you’d expect for a twenty-year-old hot hatch, and certainly shouldn’t deter keen bidders
The Mechanics
- Powered by a turbocharged 2L four-cylinder, paired with a manual five-speed transmission
- Excellent mechanical health, with no known issues
- Equipped with a new Airtec front-mount intercooler, and Pro Hoses silicon piping
- Fitted with a Turbo Technics stage 1 hybrid turbocharger
- Fantastic service history, with plenty of key maintenance to note, including the likes of:
- New timing belt in January 2016
- New MAF sensor in April 2019
- New alternator, battery, and aux belt in June 2020
- New thermostat housing in February 2022
- New charge cooler in March 2022
- Oil & filter change, wheel alignment, and a new Airtec intercooler March 2023
- Last serviced 30th January 2023, at 88,388 miles
- Ready to be enjoyed, with MOT until 11 February 2024
Summary
Presented today is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy one of the most desirable hot hatches on the market; the highly regarded MK1 Focus RS. This example looks stunning, and performs brilliantly, no doubt as a result of its excellent maintenance record, and caring ownership. It’s a car that would no doubt make a superb weekend toy, a near-original collection piece, or even a rowdy track toy.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
