Rare Ford Focus RS500 up for sale – how you could own a ‘modern classic’
A RARE Ford Focus RS500 is up for sale at auction for an eye-watering price.
This 2010 model is just one of just 500 built and has a guide price of £55,000 to £65,000.
This example is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive model - and has covered just 38,365 miles, according to Silverstone Auctions.
The car is number 35 of 500 built and was first registered in August 2010.
Surprisingly, the racy Ford has only had one owner, and has always been dry-stored in a garage.
Silverstone Auctions explained: "The new and more powerful, limited-edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford to provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts.

"The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individually-numbered vehicles and featured a muscular 345bhp, 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine, which generated 15% more power than the standard Focus RS and delivered truly exhilarating performance."
The current owner has upgraded the car with a Mountune performance kit, including a sports exhaust - however, the original parts are included in the sale.
This RS500 comes with a history file and the original service book, confirming that a local Ford dealership has regularly maintained the car.
