Christ man, that was aaaaaages ago and when it had standard arches That was part and parcel of why Ian went the RS arch route

Decent motor, has everything you want on it. Simply an engine and brake upgrade and you're away

I would very much doubt it would fetch that kind of money

No offence to the car but converted focus"s arnt a rare thing anymore and unless very very special wont do that kind of money anymore

Its true Paul, a nicely spec'd example with a bit of rep behind it will sell at about 9k perhaps. Depends on the buyer....

But this one should sell for a bit more, most likely low-mile MK1 Focus RS money I would think. Purely down to the reputation it had, the overall look and nice additions it has.

Either way its a good buy for anyone, they drive better than Saphs.

Probably mate, but say if you sold yours with all the crap you've fitted onto it so far, you'd most likely get a fair bit more. But don't sell it because you will miss it

If Ian sold it with the original spec, then it would be a hell of a lot more.

You won't, the first time you rag that you'll be in love. When its built right with every angle focused on with the best of every component, then reliability shouldn't be a problem either.

How far off are you from finishing it anyway?

That's it ain't it, with that paint scheme then you need the full look. But standard and unassuming like mine is just comedy

Awsome car, always like it

Whats the "Reputation" of it then out of interest???????

What connection does Martin have to the car to allow the Reyland livery as im sure i read somewhere that he only allows full livery of cars that he has built?????

I guess its name more than anything, its well known to everyone in the Ford circles. But I believe Martin built and mapped the engine, provided the brake setup etc? Hence warranting the livery. But for the price this new lad is asking.....go fish....
