As many of you know I have owned the car for the past 13 months having sourced it from Jon Kirkham specialist cars just outside Birmingham having searched around a bit. A flight down and a 250mile journey back home in this stunning example was more than worth it. It received a major service for collection in January 2020 including oils, filters and brake fluid and spark plugs.
The car has wanted for nothing and has spent the majority of its life tucked up in the garage beside my other RS. I work away from home so have never needed to commute or use the car as a daily. Just a weekend toy/nice weather drive. Occasionally I have been known to bring it out the garage, clean it, dry it then tuck it away again. I genuinely believe you will struggle to find a cleaner example on this kind of mileage.
The exterior is pretty much immaculate with 1 small stone chip on the passenger door (which you won’t see in any photos) and virtually nothing on the front end. All 4 wheels are immaculate, wrapped in michelin pilot super sports with 4.2mm on the fronts and over 7mm on the rears. Alloys have no kerb marks or blistering which some seem to suffer from. The factory forged alloys are complimented by genuine RS centre caps however I still have the original Ford centres. As described previously I have fitted the superb tally armor mud flaps in black with nitrous rally armor logo. They are discreet enough and do a great job protecting the body work, wheel arch edges. The wheels have been spaced out by 12mm to improve the stance of the vehicle. It will be sold with the original plate 66 plate fitted.
Interior wise the recaro shells are near perfect with no interior scuffs or blemishes to be found. Factory mats are still in as new condition and the rear seats have only been sat in once in my year of ownership, there are no blemishes or marks anywhere. The rear of the shells again are unmarked which is an area where they can be let down a bit aesthetically. I have added a genuine Ford performance carbon fibre RS gear knob however have retained the original should the vehicle be returned to stock.
The engine bay is immaculate, complimented by a cast mountune induction kit with K&N filter. I also have a brand new genuine RS induction kit with factory filter should the vehicle be returned to complete factory spec.
This RS has been into Ford Stirling in January for MOT and minor service at 12944miles. Passed with no advisories as expected. It has since been detailed and kept tucked away from the salty roads.
The only minor thing which I have seen with the car intermittently is a headlamp service required message on the dash. When it was in at Ford last month they could find any issue but suggested a loose connection somewhere due to the intermittent nature of the message and the fact the headlights are fully operational.
I have reflected the above issue in the price. Looking for £26495 o.v.n.o with all extras listed included – imap with 4 lives, spacers, RS wheel centres, mountune induction and Carbon RS gear knob. I will also include all standard items with the sale should the new owner wish to return the vehicle to stock.
Price without all extras will be £26000
Would love to keep the car however with another RS in the garage it simply doesn’t get used as much as it should. Would love to sell to another RS enthusiast who will look after the car as much as I have. I’m sure these are only going to continue to appreciate. I’m in no rush to sell. If it doesn’t go I will continue to use on sunny days between this and my mk2 escort. I have received an offer from Jon Kirkham specialist cars to collect the car however I feel it would be better to sell directly to a fellow Rs enthusiast.
I will post a load of photos I have taken this morning. Anything else feel free to ask 👍
