Information

The Focus RS modelled was first registered on March 24th, 2016, only five days after being built at Ford's Saarlouis Plant in Germany. It was initially part of Ford of Britain's Demonstration Fleet and was one of several Focus RSs used to launch Ford's new high-performance range in early April 2016.

This event, held at Silverstone, allowed selected members of the press, Ford employees and favoured customers the chance to drive one of these potent and capable cars on the circuit where its awesome performance could be safely explored. Shortly afterwards, it was dispatched to the company's dedicated one-stop-shop for Blue Light fleets, Ford Special Vehicle Preparations (SVP), based in Earls Colne, Essex.

Knowing that it would be returned to standard specification, SVP fitted just enough equipment, including grill, tailgate and roof-mounted lights, for it to be an operational police car. ANPR wasn't fitted to avoid drilling the dashboard.

It was then used to recreate the iconic image of an RS200 police car pulling over a Sierra Cosworth, this time with the Focus pulling over an RS200. It was subsequently loaned to ten police forces for evaluation including Northamptonshire Police, who used it over the F1 GP weekend, and the Isle of Man Police who utilized it during the TT.

The car was sold in April 2018 after SVP removed the police fittings and livery. Since May 2022 it's been owned by West Midlands-based enthusiast Darren Sobratee.
