Description

This 2003 Ford Focus RS Mk1 of German origin has 103,990km, a mileage justified by its service book, invoices and a histovec report since 2017. The car was imported into France by its current owner, who has owned it for 7 years. The seller states that the car is in excellent overall condition, entirely original with the exception of its exhaust system and that it has benefited from recent expenses, including an extensive restoration of the underpinnings and running gear in 2022. This Focus RS is number 1118.

Externally, the car is in excellent condition. The paintwork, in its original Imperial Blue colour, shows no noticeable defects apart from some gravel chips on the front bumper. The optics, plastics, seals and windows are in excellent condition. In 2022, the car underwent a restoration of the underbody, including the lower wings and rocker panels, and received an anti-corrosion treatment in the hollow bodies (epoxy and wax). Photos of the restoration can be seen in the gallery.

The interior is in excellent condition. The two-tone leather upholstery is in excellent condition, showing only minor signs of use. The car has its original RS branded floor mats. All the equipment is functional, notably the air conditioning. A modern car radio has been fitted.
