Exclusively produced for the European market between 2002 and 2003, the Ford Focus RS Mk1 marked the revival of the Rally Sport badge and was engineered as a high-performance, rally-inspired hot hatch. Each of the 4,501 examples was finished in Imperial Blue over matching two-tone upholstery and featured extensive upgrades over the standard Focus, with about 70% of its mechanical components replaced. Power comes from a heavily modified turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a Quaife automatic torque-biasing differential. Additional highlights include OZ Racing-developed 18” alloy wheels, uprated suspension, and performance brakes. Having been cared for in Europe, Japan, and most recently Canada, this 2003 example is now being offered for auction by its seller with approximately 60k kilometers or 37k miles showing on the odometer.

Compared to the standard Focus, the RS version features exclusive Imperial Blue Metallic paint and a model-specific widebody kit with flared wheel arches. Equipment also includes a front bumper with integrated fog lights, hood vents, extended side skirts, a roof-mounted rear spoiler, and a unique rear bumper with mesh inserts. Additional exterior details include xenon headlights with headlamp washers, body-color mirror caps, RS badging, and dual chrome exhaust outlets. It rides on silver-finished 18” OZ Racing-developed alloy wheels with RS-logo center caps and older Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Very minor imperfections are noted, and detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

The cabin is appointed with two-tone blue and black Sparco sport seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara with RS embroidery. Blue accents extend to the door panels and steering wheel, while aluminum trim accents the shift knob, pedals, and handbrake lever. RS-branded instrumentation includes a 7k-rpm tachometer and a 260-km/h speedometer, along with auxiliary gauges for turbo boost, oil temperature, and oil pressure mounted above the center stack. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows and mirrors, power door locks with an alarm system, and an auxiliary input added to the factory CD stereo. The seller notes a few minor marks on the driver’s door handle.

Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.0-liter Duratec RS four-cylinder engine rated at 212 HP and 229 lb-ft of torque stock. Performance features include forged aluminum pistons, revised camshafts, an uprated Garrett GT25 turbocharger, an air-to-air intercooler, and a stainless steel exhaust system. The front wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual Ford MTX-75 transmission and a Quaife automatic torque-biasing limited-slip differential. The RS also received a reinforced chassis, upgraded suspension with Sachs dampers, upgraded Brembo brakes, and a revised steering quick-ratio rack.

This sale will include a Canadian registration.

The seller would like you to know: “I have owned this RS for the past 7 years. It was originally sold in Germany and imported to BC, Canada, from Japan not long before my purchase. This has to be one of the very few Ford Focus RS Mk1s present on the North American soil, let alone the only one for sale at the moment. Don’t miss your chance to bid on a very special car. Meticulously maintained and cared for under my ownership, and even before that, this is the one to get. You won’t regret it! Bid with confidence.”
