ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 1.6 OHC (CVH) fuel injected engine with a Garrett AiResearch T3 turbo charger and intercooler is completely factory standard. Producing 132bhp in such a lightweight car, the 0-60mph sprint is dealt with in 8.2 sizzling seconds and a top speed of 128mph to quicken the pulse. Genuine Motorcraft service parts are visible including the ultra-rare grey Ford plug leads and the bonnet sound deadening with foil heatshield is perfect. The super clean engine bay displays all plates, labels and stickers, even the fragile orange headlamp items of which one is tarnished. A full service, water pump and cambelt was carried out in April 2026 and the 5-speed manual gearbox is light and precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The instantly recognisable RS Turbo alloy wheels are virtually immaculate with clearly defined part number and size stamping often lost upon heavy refurbishment. Four matching premium Pirelli Drago 195/50 R15 tyres are fitted and the spare is the original factory fitted Goodyear Eagle NCT50 items. This fast Ford icon stops as well as it goes with the ABS braking system designed in conjunction with Lucas Girling working perfectly also having had new discs fitted in April 2026.

HISTORY FILE
Manufactured in May 1989 at the Saarlouis assembly plant in Germany and registered new on 14th August 1989 by main dealers, Gordon Ford Colwyn Bay, this fabulous example has had just two registered owners from new. The colossal neatly organised history file is covered in Zolda fabric and commences with the New Vehicle Sales Invoice for a total sum of £14,135. At just 9 months old and 8,600 miles, the owner defaulted on payments and the car was repossessed. During this short period it returned twice to the supplying dealer for servicing before it was sold to Mr and Mrs Williams for £12,000. Dedicated RS Owner enthusiasts and Club Members every maintenance item is neatly filed with full explanations leaving no doubt to the care bestowed on this prime example. A coversheet documenting the total miles covered between MOT tests is backed up by the actual certificates themselves to fully warrant the low 20,863 miles covered. Annual RS Owner Club valuations make fascinating reading and even the tax discs have been retained and chronically mounted! All handbooks, the original service book, spare keys and sales brochure are included. With such amazing credentials combined with the impeccable condition, this RS icon will appeal to those wanting one of the very best.

EXTERIOR
An instant success upon launch in 1998 and following on from the Ka, Puma, Cougar and revised 1996 Mondeo, the Focus Mk1 used Ford’s New Edge design language and was a massive deviation from the outgoing conservatively styled Escort. Finished in factory optional Honour Green metallic, (Code W 3), this late Mk1 example has covered just 9,627 miles from new with just one owner up to February 2026. The paint finish boasts a uniform deep shine and body panels are pin straight with no dings or scuffs. Nothing other than a few light stone chips and touched in marks are visible.

Premium Uniroyal 195/60 R15 tyres have been fitted all round in March 2026 replacing the factory originals! The original space saver spare is unused. The ABS braking system performs perfectly having been fully overhauled also in March 2026.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new on 30th June 2004 by Main Dealer, CD Brammall in Darlington, the first keeper was a Mrs King to whom the car was registered until February 2026. In stark contrast to most examples that were put into daily use in all weathers, this example was destined for a more cossetted existence. It is believed that due to the owner’s ill health the car was subject to very minimal use and upon her passing the car was registered for probate purposes to the second and only further keeper. After a period of minimal use and dry storage, the car has undergone extensive and documented recommissioning in March 2026 to include a full service using genuine Ford parts, cambelt, comprehensive brake overhaul including new callipers, discs and pads, and brand-new premium brand tyres. The car is now fully roadworthy and ready to showcase what is probably the finest Mk1 Estate you are ever likely to see. Quickly disappearing, the Mk1 Focus has always been an icon and this example will catch the attention of forward-thinking collectors and retro-car lovers alike!

The Ford document wallet holds all handbooks, guides, service book and both sets of keys with CD Brammall fob. A file of paperwork also includes an original sales brochure. A remarkable example.

The servo-assisted diagonally split brakes with 241mm ventilated discs up front and 203mm drums at rear, stop the car in a safe and steady manner.

HISTORY FILE
This fantastic example of Ford’s first RS Fiesta was supplied by Ford Main Dealers, Quicks of Chester Limited, on the 8th August 1991 to Lee Robert Hannam. A passionate Ford enthusiast and a member of the RS Owners Club who part exchanged his 1990 Ford Fiesta XR2i against a total purchase price of £12,436, as revealed by the New Vehicle invoice. The fascinating history file reveals everything from the original order, Ford credit agreement, early supplying dealer service invoices and MOT certificates. As Lee also owned a S2 Ford Escort RS Turbo, the Fiesta was taken off the road in August 1996 having covered 3,794 miles and placed in careful storage. Very sadly Lee passed away and ownership transferred to his father, David Hannam in May 2016, with David being only the second recorded keeper. Booked into Ford main dealer Evans Halshaw in August 2016, the vehicle was fully recommissioned before the family made the painful decision to sell the car in 2018 along with the Escort RS Turbo. The vehicle has remained road worthy, with MOT records since and a major service and cambelt change carried out in March 2026. Supplied with all handbooks, service book and a full complement of keys. An A4 folder contains all chronically filed documents with a new car sales brochure and magazine road test from the period. With a short production of just two years from 1990 to 1992, prior to the introduction of the Fiesta RS1800, this represents a truly rare RS Ford and undoubtedly one of the best, unmolested examples in existence.

Both original remote keys have Lookers Ford keyrings and even the glass polishing cloth remains unused in the packet. A very special Otto-Models 1:18 scale Focus RS model car has been specially commissioned by the owner to replicate this exact RS Heritage Edition, making it one of one and even with the registration RS15WOW matching! The model stays with the car and is boxed in mint condition. One of the most coveted of all RS cars and surely the jewel in even the best RS collections.

The Rallye Sport Pedigree only existed for a short period with the Mk2 RS Mexico and this highly commended and original example is one of a handful of true survivors having had minimal bodywork known to exist within the RS Owners Club. Finished in desirable Signal Yellow, (Code 9), it wears its mainly original coat of paint with absolute pride showing age related marks and imperfections picked up over 48 years of pampered use with enthusiasts. These include some paint thinning from over exorbitant polishing and touched in stone chips. Well known on the show circuit, it has collected some noteworthy awards at both Regional and National RS Days and recently took part on the Cumbria Lakes Tour and at the 50th Anniversary of the Mk2 Ford Escort RS Mexico. Ford glass has number plate etching and even the front wings are factory fitment and date stamped! The underside remains untouched, incredibly clean and factory correct. All trim and decals are perfect and the distinctive squared-up nose styling and front air dam informs knowledgeable onlookers to the scarcity of this model only built between January 1976 and July 1978. Utterly gorgeous and a real showstopper amongst a field of restored cars.

INTERIOR
The interior of this RS Mexico offers simple sporting pleasure. The twin high back reclining Scheel front seats are still trimmed in their original Black fabric with head restraints and are in amazing condition with no loose material. The carpets, washable black headlining and door cards are all unmarked and like the rest of the car, no reproduction parts here! All the gauges and warning lights function correctly with the ‘RS’ logo within the five white needle instrument cluster reminding the driver how special this RS Ford is. The padded dash has no cracks and the simulated leather RS sports steering wheel still has visible veins, even the green BSI Approved stickers to the seatbelt buckles remain attached! The boot area is absolutely original with the tool kit within the black bag, basic Hardura mat and small bracket spot-welded onto the boot floor to hold the spare wheel strap. Wonderful.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Powered by its matching numbers 1593cc OHC unit, everything mechanical performs faultlessly on this standard Pinto engine. Crisp performance and a wonderful exhaust note is created through the standard looking stainless steel replacement exhaust system still with the four branch into two branch RS exhaust manifold. A top speed of 106mph and 0-60mph in 10.2 seconds is quoted. Lifting the bonnet reveals stunning originality with chassis plate, body plate, untouched chassis stamp to offside front reinforced strut mount and aforementioned date stamped front wings in place! The standard close ratio 4-speed robust gearbox offers short and precise gear changes. Delightful.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This stunning example is fitted with the standard Bright Silver RS Mexico steel 5.5x13in sculptured sports wheels in immaculate condition with unmarked Black RS caps. Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tyres measuring 175/70 R13 are fitted with excellent tread. Vacuum servo assisted front disc brakes and rear drum brakes pull the car up to a safe halt.

HISTORY FILE
With only around 2,500 Mk2 Ford Mexico’s made, (source Ford RS Owners Club), this car represents a rare breed! Positioned awkwardly in price and specification between a 1600 Sport and an RS2000 when new, the Mexico had a very short production run and therefore is now a highly sought-after model amongst collectors. This incredible example was built at the Saarlouis assembly plant in January 1977 and supplied by Grays of Guilford on the 18th March 1977 to Mr Philip Stanley. A passionate car enthusiast, he kept a detailed log of all maintenance and repairs for 23 years until selling the car in June 2000. Amazingly, each of the subsequent four owners has continued this log including owner, John Hughes, a previous Mk2 Registrar for RS Owners Club. Displayed at many events including RSOC National Day, Ford Fair, AVO Day and numerous Lakes Tours, this example is well known within the RS Owners Club and highly respected. It is a very reluctant sale by the current RSOC member to make way for another Mk2 Ford Escort. A thick file of historic invoices, previous MOT certificates handbooks and spare keys awaits presentation to the next lucky custodian who will understand fully this remains one of the few authentic survivors in a confusing market of fakes.

This two owner car has covered a fully verified 27,486 miles from new and boasts total originality and outstanding condition.

Diagonally split dual line brakes with servo assistance bring the car up straight and steady.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 4th October 1996 by Henlys Ford of Farnborough, this spectacular Special Edition Mondeo Verona has covered a warranted 27,486 miles from new with just two owners. The amazing history file begins with the new vehicle order form and subsequent sales invoice made out to first owner, Mr Page, whereby the purchase price was £12,793.93. All payment receipts and vehicle point of sale documents have been kept. Mr Page was a newly retired engineer, and as such, the Mondeo was a retirement gift from Mr and Mrs Page to themselves and a photograph outside their home with the car on handover day is a wonderful memento in the history file. A large file of service and maintenance invoices as well as all MOT certificates dating back to the first in 1999 is accompanied by a highly detailed maintenance log dating from when the car was new up to 2017. The log was kept as Mr Page, being a retired engineer, carried out much of the vehicle upkeep himself and wanted this to support the service history. The car was owned by Mr Page until September 2022 and there has been just one owner since. Mr Blake purchased the car for nostalgia reasons as his father owned Mondeo’s in the 1990’s and he and his father wanted to recreate journeys they took at the time. The fastidious upkeep has continued with the second owner who now has decided to sell the car with the upcoming birth of his first child and him feeling he will not have the time to give the car the care it deserves.

Absolutely all servicing is fully up to date and since April 2025 alone, the car has had cambelt and water pump, gearbox oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, new exhaust, brake overhaul and engine service. Completing the history file is the full book packs, four Ford keys including the red master and dealer fobs, and an original Mondeo Verona range sales brochure. KGF Classic Cars are privileged to offer this exceptional example that is a true credit to its two owners from new.

EXTERIOR
This deliciously retro XR3i Cabriolet represents an original and unspoilt example of Fords iconic soft-top. Finished in striking Diamond White, (Code BK3), the paintwork boasts a fabulous uniform finish that clearly shows just how much the car has been cherished. All body panels are factory fitment with clearly defined inner wings stamps and the bodywork and shut lines are beautifully straight. Light touched in marks are visible upon close inspection but are entirely forgiven on such an original example as are the slightly faded XR3i decals. The Ford RS bodykit was fitted from new with RS logos clearly visible and the underside is remarkably well preserved. The white soft-top roof is beautifully clean, remains perfect in condition, fit and operation. The matching colour keyed hood cover for use when the hood is lowered is present and spotless. Factory Sigla glass and Ford light clusters remain fitted. A very well cared for example ready to enjoy as Ford intended.

A fun and practical option of retro soft-top motoring with space for five and a generous boot! The supportive sports seats trimmed with Zolda fabric in Shadow colour scheme, (Code LU), are in good condition with some very small holes to each front seat, barely noticeable.

The soft top headlining is very clean with no stains, rips or loose material and the heated rear glass screen free from scratches. The dashboard and switchgear are in superb order and all functions and controls operate including the standard Ford 2005 radio/cassette with electric aerial and the roof mounted digital clock. A clean and unspoilt interior.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
A delightfully crisp, responsive and free-revving 1.6 OHC (CVH) engine features electronic fuel injection with Ford’s own EEC IV engine management system (as fitted to later cars replacing the Bosch system). This increased power by 3bhp to give 108bhp to achieve an improved top speed of 116mph and 0-60mph in 9.7 seconds. The engine bay presentation is excellent with original factory stickers, labels and plates intact even on the slam panel! The car performs brilliantly and an expensive stainless steel exhaust replicating the original to give the characteristic rasp! The five-speed gearbox is light and precise and aids the enthusiastic driving XR owners are known for!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Optional extra alloy wheels size 6 x 14in are in pristine condition and are shod in matching branded Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres covering little over 1,000 miles since being fitted in 2022. Stored inside the spare wheel is the original jack. The diagonally split dual-line servo assisted brakes stop the car straight and steady.

HISTORY FILE
Date of registration of this late 90 Spec example was the 4th July 1991 by Ford Main Dealer, Central Motor Company (Leicester) Ltd. Ownership of the car has been traced right back and the previous owner bought the car in 2016, the lady keeper prior to him having owned the car for around 20 years. The history file is humongous and dates back to when the car was new with masses of paperwork including MOT records dating back to the first in 1994. There are also service book records since the first service carried out in late 1991. Part of the impressive vehicle history is that the car was featured with the previous owner in the April 2018 issue of ClassicFord magazine whereby a prime example was required for a four-page ‘Buying Tips’ article. This very car was used in the feature and several copies of the magazine are in the folder. All handbooks are included as well as both seats of keys with alarm fobs and a Ford range brochure from 1990.

In November 2025, the car was serviced and the cambelt and water pump were replaced. Now offered for sale due to the fastidious owner downsizing his collection of classic 1980’s cars, motorbikes and iconic memorabilia such as an unused Sinclair C5! Look no further for a beautifully cherished unspoilt example ready to use and impress at classic car shows and retro outings!
