The first batch of the new mk3 Focus RS have been spotted coming though the Dagenham jetty this morning.

These are the first 12 cars to have came out the factory this year after production started in January at the Ford Saaloius plant in Germany. These cars are more than likely be Ford Press Fleet vehicles however it is a welcome sign for all these keen owners desperate to get their hands on the car.

There are still various rumours circling about production issues due to lack of brake calipers and standard seats however these are unconfirmed and we are sure Ford wouldn’t allow this to have made an impact on their production. So we can assume it is full steam ahead at the Saaloius plant to get these delayed orders out to customers quick as possible.

More updates to follow as we received them.
