SUMMARY

A remarkable one-owner, third-generation, Focus RS showing just 1,189 miles from new, optioned with the Lux pack and finished in the iconic Nitrous Blue.

DESCRIPTION

The third-generation Focus RS was the most extreme evolution of Ford’s acclaimed hot-hatch lineage — a 345bhp, all-wheel-drive machine developed with input from rally ace Ken Block and designed to deliver genuine supercar-baiting performance in a practical, everyday package. Equipped with launch control, selectable driving modes and the now-legendary 'Drift Mode', it quickly became a cult classic and one of the most desirable modern fast Fords.

Supplied new on 31st July 2018 by Desmond Motors of Derry City, Northern Ireland’s largest family-run Ford dealership, this particular car stands apart. Purchased new by our vendor and forming part of a private collection ever since, it remains in exceptional condition throughout and has covered a mere 1,189 miles from new.

Finished in the signature Nitrous Blue, it’s specified to an outstanding level with the RS Lux Pack, Protection Pack, Navigation System, rear view camera, and the sought-after Recaro shell seats trimmed in Dinamica microfibre and Ebony/Salerno leather in Charcoal Black.

The factory 19" forged alloy wheels and blue-painted Brembo callipers complete the unmistakable RS look, while the presentation remains virtually as delivered, fully ceramic coated just after it was new and stored in a heated garage since new and clearly cared for to the highest standard. The car has enjoyed annual main-dealer servicing despite its minimal use and the history file contains eight Ford stamps, the most recent carried out on 6th August 2025 at just 1,184 miles. The car does not currently have an MOT simply because our vendor had no plans to use it in the near future.

With just one registered keeper, and such a tiny mileage, this represents one of the lowest-use Focus RS Mk3s currently available. A future classic in waiting, the model’s combination of analogue feel, turbocharged pace and everyday usability ensures enduring appeal, and few examples will match the provenance and preservation of this remarkable car.

An unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a single-owner, 1,189-mile Focus RS in Nitrous Blue, supported by eight Ford service stamps, freshly serviced and preserved in superb order throughout — a collector-grade modern icon.
