That's nice it's looks so good in silver, i'd love a Focus ST but my dog would f*ck the interior up.
Great all rounder, brakes and handling not quite up to Clio standard without splashing a little cash but that engine and torque is addictive. Had it 4 years, only sold it to fund work on the house

Quick question for the Ford boys: On a Mk5 Escort did they ever do a non Cosworth rs model that had 4wd?

Get the Reg and fire it through Askmid and it usually confirms spec.
Theoretically yes you could make a rep, but it wouldn't be perfect... Pretty sure the Track is quite a bit different on the Cosworth Vs RS2K.
Also cost wise a rep wouldn't be worth doing once you factor in all the Bodywork let alone running gear.

The image of it as requested. I can pm the reg if needed, I have done a check and it comes up as and Escort rs2000?
Then it's a replica! Something about it looks odd too, can't quite put my finger on it.

Do they have a different vin number pattern being that it's based on the Sierra? I guess that would be the best way?

mega FLOL, I won't mention it, but I know what it really is..... Massive thanks guys like they say if it seems too good to be true it usually is
Some lovely cars here.
I almost bought an ST off Gally on this forum last year, but ended up buying another mint MK6.5 ST when someone beat me to it! I loved this car so much I've just traded it in for another
No wonder these are so popular. I've had a few RS's but Ford have really hit the nail on the head with the new ST.

It did look like a great example, and I was a bit gutted at the time when I missed out on it. I think the ST has got to be one of the best cars I've owned. I never looked twice after having an RS Clio and Megane, but they really are underrated. The power on MK6's can soon be made up with an exhaust and induction (yours had a full Milltek if I remember rightly?) and puts it in the same league.

I have owned 3 fords to date. 2 have been mk5 Fiesta zetec S and the other a Mk1 focus RS.
The Zetec S is without doubt, IMO, the best warm hatch you can buy. S good that I owned 2 of them.
Oddly, the mk1 RS was without doubt the WORST car I have owned, no question about it. Everything about it sucked after the initial thrill of owning an RS wore off (about a week).
