History

The Mk3 Focus RS arrived as a spectacular finale to Ford's storied RS lineage, introducing four-wheel drive and an audacious drift mode as standard equipment. Built in Saarlouis, Germany, this performance powerhouse proved instantly desirable, with Ford selling 7,430 examples across the UK. 

The Magnetic Grey finish featured on this model adorned just 983 of those cars, making it one of the rarer colour choices. This particular model celebrates a remarkable real-world example ordered by Paul Groom from Hartwell Ford, Kidlington, in November 2016. 

Delivered in May 2017 with just 13 miles showing, the car has been meticulously maintained and kept completely standard, resisting the lure of aftermarket tuning upgrades. Despite being driven regularly to concours events, it has achieved extraordinary success on the show circuit. Paul's dedication earned him multiple class victories before culminating in the ultimate accolade, the RS Owners Club's prestigious Gold Cup as 2025 Concours Champion. 

This double triumph also included Concours Car of the Show at the 2024 National Day at Mallory Park, proving that a driven, cherished car can achieve perfection.
