The Classic Sale at Silverstone 26th & 27th August 2022

122 The Classic Sale at Silverstone - Cars Registration: BW66 PVD Chassis No.: WF05XXGCC5GS43263 Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000 Lot 437 2016 Ford Focus RS Mk3 - 956 Miles The third, and fastest, evolution of the iconic Focus RS Mk1, the RS Mk3 was for sale from 2016 - 2018, and while that wasn’t very long, it managed to establish itself at the top of the high-performance hot- hatch tree. The fastest Ford Focus Mk3 is great to drive and was priced at a level that puts it among some of the most exciting and affordable cars on the road of any type. It’s agile and sporty in all the right places and offers impressive acceleration, whilst the turbocharged engine delivers a suitably sporty soundtrack. It was a rival for cars like the Volkswagen Golf R and Mercedes-AMG A45, and thanks to its 345bhp, 2.3-litre turbocharged, four-cylinder power unit, it had the firepower to take on these rivals. But there’s more to the Focus RS than just a powerful engine. It uses a 6-speed manual gearbox mated to an intelligent four-wheel drive system with state-of-the art electronics that include Drift Mode among many upgrades not offered on the earlier versions of the RS. Our vendor ordered this car new from Bristol Street Motors’ Ford dealership in Birmingham on 29th January 2016 and the original purchase invoice confirms delivery in the premium colour of Frozen White with standard RS Recaro seats. It was eventually registered to him on 15th December 2016 and used very occasionally, particularly after his purchase of a first generation Focus RS in 2017, also included in the auction. It was placed on SORN on 28th November 2017 and remains so today having covered only 956 miles from new. During its time in storage our vendor has ensured that it has been started regularly and run up to temperature. The cylinder head gasket recall work was completed at a recorded 942 miles by Perrys Ford in April 2018 and the car has recently benefitted from an oil change and a fresh MOT, valid until 6th July 2023. This sparkling little RS is presented to auction with the V5C in our vendor’s name confirming single ownership, two sets of keys, its book pack and the aforementioned bill of sale. In conclusion, we rarely see such eminently drivable performance cars of this age with virtually delivery mileage covered by the sole owner from new, and the ‘new car smell’ still ever present. Ordered new by our vendor who has covered just 956 miles in the car. More Details Lot 437 Bid On Lot 437
