Supercar Fest Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars 2023 20th May 2023

143 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter Lot 882 2009 Ford Focus RS Mk2 ‘Mountune MR375’ The RS may not have had four-wheel drive, but a combination of Ford’s trick Revo-Knuckle front suspension, a Quaife limited-slip diff, and well- judged ESP did a great job of putting the power down and managing the torque-steer while still providing plenty of involvement. The chassis was stiffened by about 30% and bigger drive shafts, a wider track, lower ride height and a faster steering rack translated into remarkably civilised road manners. For those after even more performance, the Ford-approved tuners Mountune did an upgrade called the MP350 which adds 45bhp and 15lb/ft in torque from a larger intercooler, bigger air filter box, larger diameter exhaust downpipe, an uprated fuel pump and modified engine management software, which matches the performance of the RS500. The car presented here is a 2009 Ford Focus Mk2 RS Turbo (LUX Pack 1, along with partial-leather black Recaro shell-sports seats and Bluetooth/USB) fitted with the Mountune MR375 performance package. Finished in Metallic Performance Blue, it has covered just 35,000 miles (at time of cataloguing), corroborated by its service invoices and the full-service history with ten stamps in the book - the majority from Ford main dealers. It was recently serviced again at Ford, around 50 miles ago, complete with a new cambelt (timing belt) and water-pump. It’s accompanied by its spare remote key, all Handbooks, service booklet and Ford wallet. The car has always been owned by Ford enthusiasts, some of whom were members of the RS Owners Club, renowned for the condition in which they keep their treasured cars. The Mountune MR375 package was fitted at Mountune, Essex in April 2017 at 29,820 miles and all Mountune paperwork, certification and COBB mTune handset with dashboard mount are included. A rare opportunity to own a high-specification, enthusiast-owned, Mountune-upgraded example of a future-modern-classic, subtly improved by its marque-approved tuner, making the most of its inherent attributes and wonderfully vocal five-cylinder, 2.5-litre turbocharged engine. With performance Fords enjoying their day in the sun eternally and Ford having confirmed that there will not be another Focus RS in the future, this example is in extremely good condition for its age and mileage, and ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky keeper. An enthusiast-owned example, in superb condition and with the sought-after Ford-approved upgrade package.
