The Appeal

The Mk2 Ford Focus RS is one of the most celebrated fast Fords of the modern era, and Performance Blue has become its defining colour. With a devoted following that shows no signs of waning, well-kept examples are increasingly sought after, and this one is particularly noteworthy.

Showing just 16,014 miles from new, this 2009 example has covered an average of fewer than 1,000 miles per year. It has had only two registered keepers from new and benefits from a strong service record: 12 stamps in the book, every one applied by a Ford main dealer. The cambelt, tensioner, idler pulley and auxiliary belt were all replaced in November 2019 at 13,853 miles.

The specification is desirable throughout, with Performance Blue paintwork complemented by black leather and Alcantara Recaro seats bearing blue 'RS' lettering, carbon fibre interior trim, and 19-inch RS alloy wheels. It comes to market with the Lux Packs 1 and 2, as well as an advisory-free MOT valid until March 2027, and is accompanied by its owner's manuals, service book, supporting invoices and V5C.

The vendor says:

"I purchases the car in May 2022. It has been stored in an air chamber bubble in the garage, and taken to a few local car shows. It has only covered 450 miles in my ownership, and most of that was driving it home from where I bought it from."
