I look at it like this:

Mark 1 ST - ST170
Mark 2 ST - 2.5 Turbo ST
Mark 2.5 ST - 2.5 Turbo ST (Facelift Model)


Cheers,
Grant

** Edit, can see the point of view that the ST only started with the new shape 2.5 Turbo Focus and that the older model was an ST170 rather than 'an ST'.

I would say the ST170 is the Mk1, and the newer, 5 cylinder versions are the Mk2 collectively. You dont say a small turbo escos is a Mk2 escos do you?

The ST170 is an ST170, not an ST.

To differenciate between the old ST and the new ST, you use Mk1-2 or something similar.
