DESCRIPTION
- This attractive first-generation car dates from 2004 and is on offer from 12 years of marque enthusiast ownership
- Well-presented in Imperial Blue Pearl complemented by the classic Focus RS black and blue leather interior
- Powered by the legendary 2-litre, turbocharged, 212bhp Duratec DOHC four-cylinder engine
- Fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, Quaife automatic torque-biasing differential and an AP Racing clutch
- Retardation is courtesy of Brembo and the car sits on correct 18" OZ Racing wheels, wearing a full set of 100 miles-old Michelin Pilots
- It benefits from recent exterior correction work to rectify minor imperfections on the bumpers and Lanoguard has been applied to the underside
- The singularly appropriate Registration Number RS04 FCS will remain with the car
