Overview:
Just three owners - first owner from new to 2009, second owner from 2009 to 2020 and third owner from 2020 to 2022. As mentioned above, the registration plate of B15FRS is the one and only number that has been with the car since date of first registration. Appealingly modified example with all the important original parts bar the brakes to comfortably return to standard if one seeks to. The car starts and drives with no issues along with having a great appearance due to how clean it is throughout. Colossal amount of paperwork within a black folder backing all of the above. Also present – locking wheel nut, Ford RS fancy black leather wallet containing two service booklets, service guide, owner’s guide, supplement to the owner’s guide, safety advice, and audio guide.
* This example could not be more ready to enjoy as it is fully serviced, four new Michelin tyres, MOT with no advisories and a full tank of fuel. This is not to be missed as it is something to be proud to own, it is a great investment. Service History:
