Default WRC Focus shell, I dont think so

Looks like a standard shell to me, (may be a LHD RS shell though)

Modified tunnel to take rear wheel drive ! I dont think so.

it says you would espect to pay 20k for a 5 year old focus rs? wtf

dont know if this is genuine, surely you would need part numbers etc to back it up if ti was from m-sport, but why would it not have perspex windows and surely if it was just a show car the shell wouldnt need to be to wrc spec?

The only thing wrc about that are some of the stickers

When I did the Mk6 Ford Fiesta launch with Ford we had a very similar car to that come with us to all the demos, it had a 1400 or 1600, I cant remember which exactly but they main mod were a few holes drilled in the back box foir that "rally" sound

IIRC the panels fitted like shit but the cage was proper, nothing like that has

Dave cunt

It looks like a dummy shell that M sport used for the motorshows etc andrew gallacher bought a few of these one being a telefonica replica from m sport it looked exact on the outside but it was a bog standard focus another was a focus rs that was used for the press launch had tinted windows when you looked through there you could only see the tops of the seat , but then you opened the doors it was just a black wooden frame with handmade fake headrests.

You'd never get an exhaust and prop side-by-side in that 'tunnel', let alone a box on the back of the engine....

The tunnel is totally standard and only an exhaust will pass through it.

If that was a genuine shell then surely it would be up for way more than 4.5k?!

Sadly some mug will fall for it though!

I can guarantee that is not a genuine WRC rolling shell.

Not that anyone on here thought it ever was.

to be fair hes not saying its a race car


''The shell was ex M-Sport and was Gardemeister's show car.

This car has never been on the road; never turned a wheel in anger.''


no doubt it went thru msport to be done and to look as if it was the real deal as it does and he says its a show car and they used it for a simulator, looks and stickers etc need to look the part and no nead to get someone else to do it



is cool tho
if you have a rollover focRS then you could make summet cool of this

was prob made of a preproduction test focRS or summet huh

Because he's Scottish then it's a rip off? There's plenty of decent REAL cars on our excellent Scottish roads.

There's just as much cocks tryin too sell shite down your neck o the woods.............

the show cars are 1.6 tdci with a WRC kit on them and are normally pushed everywhere, the glass in them is that dark you have to really look to see the bog standerd interior but a quick look under the backend tells you its a copy

Well... I am searching for a nice LHD shell that would fit my forthcoming plans. I really don't care if it is a genuine M-Sport shell as long as the price and specification is ok...

Cheers, Per-Anders.

the ad does say its got transmission tunnel from front to rear
so it will take 4x4 running gear

the seller was obviously on drugs or he took pics of the wrong car
cause that thing dont have a tunnel in it, just the standard exhaust tunnel
