Brief

History

Originally supplied by Ford Dealer – Peter Stirland Limited on the 21st of December 2002.

Full traceability of previous owners is within the comprehensive history file, all of whom have been Ford RS enthusiasts, and all of whom have cared for the vehicle greatly.

All original booklets are present, in the original leather RS wallet.
Service book is of course present, and is stamped up to date.

Many receipts for the various services which have been carried out, along with MOT’s to warrant the very low mileage, along with Sorn declaration letters.

Original V5, along with various RS Owners Club memorabilia, and of course the original spare key is present.

A car for the true enthusiast collector.

Body & Paintwork

Original paintwork throughout, in fantastic condition.

All paintwork has been measured with a paint depth gauge and confirmed to all be matching and original.
The paint has a superb shine, and has clearly been very well cared for throughout its life, with no marks, dents, scratches, or even any swirl marks from cleaning.

All panels are of course original, including all trims.

Everything about this car is stunning, all lights, badges and glass are exactly as they were on the day it rolled off the production line.

The car has been treated to the professional application of Armourfend at a cost of over £525.00.
The Armourfend has been applied extremely well, and is not noticeable until pointed out.

Simply stunning throughout.

Interior & Trim

Exceptional condition inside, as you would expect.

Original RS floor mats fitted, and in great condition.
The ‘unstitched’ seat bases are still in superb order, showing barely any wear on the drivers seat at all.

All switches and dials are without any damage, and all work just as they should do.

As per the rest of the car, the interior remains completely original, with the factory fitted stereo and speakers still in place.
All the blue leather is still very vibrant, and without damage.
The steering wheel and gear knob are still as new, even the pedal rubbers look as though they have never been used.

Engine

Many low mileage vehicles tend to have been stored, and although low mileage, they miss service schedules due to lack of use and being stored away for many years.

This is no such vehicle, the servicing is comprehensive, and of course up to date.

Runs beautifully, with no taps from cold, or indeed once up to temperature.
No smoking, either on idle, on boost or off throttle.

It runs and drives exactly as Ford intended.

Running Gear

All running gear is in great order.
Drives perfectly, nice and tight with great braking power, and is without any noises at all.

All running gear is still as new, with no corrosion, all still in original finish with original factory marking paints.

Even the brake disc centres have the original paint finish with no corrosion, rear brake caliper’s are unpainted as per brand new without any defects.
Front brake caliper’s are original paint and superb order, with only the nearside having a tiny chip in the paint which only the very keenest eye would notice.

The underside of this car, with the running gear, is genuinely as good as the top side, and this is largely how it has won Concours 15 times.
