Default Focus T190s and T230s

When I bought my T190 I couldnt find anyone anywhere with a T- series focus. Now they seem to be popping up for sale all the time. I've seen a silver T230 on eBay, another black one will be up for sale soon I believe and now there's this one on pistonheads too- http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2823691.htm
And a green one also on here I think.

Strange how they all seem to come up for sale together.

Surely these focus.s will keep going up in price. Do you know how many they made of each model.

There were 25 total of which 8 were T230 so 17 split between T190 and t230R.

So far I have the following info on the spec of a T190-

1.8 16v zetec black top
GT2554R garratt turbo,*FMIC,*355cc/min injectors from Volvo T5 (can flow 300bhp), "Pectel*T2" standalone engine management with custom Mountune mapping,*WRC kit, Full Cobra*Interior,*Uprated shock/spring assembly based on factory 1.8 set up by DPRS,*2.5" exhaust and down pipe,*2bar map sensor,*Factory 1.8 blow through maf, gearbox can take 260-280bhp, cat on exhaust system.

Built by Mountune in partnership with Dave Paveley Rally Specialists, GMD and authorised by Ford, they were available in 2000 as an option on a normal focus where they were used as a development prototype to the mk1 FRS.

That's one on Pistonheads is probably one of the rarest, remember seeing it on a plinth at a show in pristine condition, worth much more than what the asking price is. But it has obviously had a rough life
