DESCRIPTION

This limited-edition 1 of 300 Red-Edition MK3 Focus RS finished in exclusive Race-Red features a host of upgrades from factory compared to the regular Focus RS. Most notably a Quaife Mechanical Limited-Slip Front Differential which makes its chassis feel more focused with considerably more front axle grip out of slow speed corners. Externally, a factory painted Gloss Black Roof, Rear Spoiler and Mirror caps compliment its Race-Red Paintwork. Inside, a bespoke Carbon-Fibre Interior Package which includes Door Grab Handles, Handbrake Lever & Binnacle Gauges. As standard you get the must-have Recaro Shell Buckets Seats, Luxury Package, Heated Steering Wheel & SYNC-3 Navigation System.

Genuine Investment Opportunity: the standard Mk3 Focus RS (in the correct condition) has been appreciating in value steadily recently, with this being a ‘limited-production-run’ model with exclusive edition-only options it will undoubtedly be the most desirable MK3 RS just behind the 1 of 50 Heritage Edition. Ford have confirmed that they will not be producing a MK4 Focus RS, making this this the ‘last ever Focus RS generation’ which further strengths the pedigree of the MK3 RS. Limited-Run Fast Fords over the past 50 years have become highly collectable.

It’s extremely rare we can truly use the term ‘fully loaded’ but in this instance we can. Leaving the factory with every single conceivable optional extra (£1,600 above and beyond Red-Edition Spec), the must-have 19inch Forged Alloy Wheels (£975) wrapped in meaty Michelin Super Sport Tyres. Electric Sunroof (£575) omits sunlight into the cabin and finally the Door Edge Protectors (£85). The only non-factory enhancement being the perfectly matched Race-Red Brake Calipers which completes the exterior.

Amazingly, this 3.5 year-old Red-Edition has completed only 1,900 dry-miles with 1 enthusiastic RS keeper since new. This is a rare opportunity to pick up an as-new limited edition Focus RS, with every single factory optional extra, not one stone chip to the body with an immaculate underside body. Servicing has been completed religiously at Ford Specialist around April every year to ensure 1 Year intervals from its first registration. This example is for the perfectionists amongst us.

XPEL Paint-Protection-Film (PPF) has been installed since Brand-New to all impact areas (Complete Front End, A Pillars & Top of Rear Bumper), this protection has resulted in NOT-ONE-STONE-CHIP on the entire paintwork. The PPF that has been installed is ‘Self-Healing’ meaning if you develop a scratch on the film, simply apply heat and it will self-heal. The underside, as our images show is in fantastic condition without any corrosion on subframes, bolts or nuts.

Presented in absolutely perfect as-new condition; we guarantee you wont find a better Red-Edition RS without looking at examples on delivery miles in our professional opinion. This is in true investment piece condition, an RS that has never had any Non-Factory Paintwork with consistent Micron readings of Paint Thickness on every Body Panel. Buy in Confidence from Reputable Pedantic Professional Detailers & Genuine Enthusiasts. We have no doubt this is one of the FINEST Red-Editions available in the U.K.

Boasting All-Wheel-Drive with clever Torque Vectoring, an array of Dynamic Vehicle Settings, Adjustable Suspension, Manual ONLY Gearbox & 4-Piston Brembo Front Brakes resulting in an engaging & driver focused experience compared to its market rivals.

The lustre of its Race Red Paintwork has been amplified after our 40-Hour Detailing Process which includes a Multi-Stage Machine Paintwork Correction to all areas in our own exclusive detailing studio; we photograph our cars under 3,000 Watt of LED Light to showcase the quality of our Vehicle Preparation which is truly Market Leading.
