Reckons he's changed all the body panels, boot floor, engine, interior running gear, etc etc. His grammar is appalling which makes it worse

Not read every page, but why would he change the boot floor?

It was rear ended apparantly.

End of the day, its listed as a replica, so i think that Focus forum thread is a bit over the top.

as said that car has a very moody V5 clearly a copy/ forgery.
and that car has never been anything but a 2010 focus st!!

forget any thoughts of it having been anything other than!!

Just as dodgy as the link i posted up about this ' ST170 ' which in true fact was a 1.6 zetec Ford Focus, run of the mill, where the guy who was selling it claimed the previous owner wanted an ST170 but could not afford to insure one, so he purchased a 15,000 mile Focus ST170 and a Focus Zetec and transplanted everything onto the lesser model!

To me it appears as if,

He got a stolen, or badly damaged Focus ST 2011 that could not go back onto the road and used the parts from that on the 2007/2006 silver shell, then had it painted Frozen white, again could explain the fuel cap could have been broken off when it was painted?

It says he works in the motortrade on focus stoc so maybe he had access to two damaged Focus's and built one from two? Maybe one had back end damage one had front end? Possibilitys are endless, i think there maybe a little mis understanding as the guy selling it doesn't appear very bright.

However i know a man who would probably buy it -

The boot floor needs to be changed for the st exhausts no spare wheel well.

It has the facelift front. If it has been rear ended, whys the front been changed?


The pics on eBay show a five door interior.

The rear quarters are different as are the door from pre facelift to facelift.

Just seems so dodgy. Also put the vin number in to etis, see what it comes back as
