Information

If you remember the announcement of the Deep Orange Ford Focus Mk3, bringing the era of the Mk3 to a close, then you'll love our die-cast replica model. This 1:43 design is slightly less exclusive than the original car, as we've made a few more than 50, but it can still occupy a special place on your collector's shelf.

This die-cast model is a limited edition of 2,200.

The 'Heritage' was the RS's farewell and featured the FPM375 Mountune power upgrade, adding 25bhp and 29lb.ft of torque to an already sensationally fast car, with a Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential to deploy that power, as well as every available extra, except door-protectors. The example modelled was supplied by Ford dealer C.E.M Day Ltd, Swansea, to Port Talbot-based David Evans.

He'd ordered one of 300 Focus RS 'Red Editions' but soon afterwards, in February 2018, saw then Ford of Britain MD Andy Barratt's social media teaser post hinting that 50 deep orange 'Heritage' cars would be made to commemorate the RS moniker's 50th anniversary. He immediately requested Day's Ford change his order.

He'd been so quick, Days were not aware it had been announced, but four weeks later he was thrilled to hear from Manager Nick Thomas that he'd receive a car, even though it was oversubscribed, because he'd purchased an example of every RS produced by Ford since buying an Escort RS Turbo in 1985.

David received Heritage Edition number 13 of 50 on April 18th, 2018, and had it transported to Days for its service every year to avoid increasing its mileage. He sold it in 2023 to Ford RS specialist dealers, Mores Motor Company, Somerset, from whom the current owner, Cambridgeshire-based Ford enthusiast Mike Pollard, purchased it.

A perfectionist, Mike could not resist this 'as new' car, which had covered just 43 miles.
