Focus endurance rally car £8,500

Car was built by Roush Technologies Limited engineering for Ford Motor Company Limited from a brand new LHD car to do a sponsored endurance event, the World Cup Rally to Morocco in 2001 and fitted with a Ford competition registration number X202 FEV. It finished the event and the car is pictured in the advertisement for the 2002 World Cup Rally published in Motoring News, October 2nd, 2002 on page 17. I bought it from Ford in 2002 since when it’s only done about a dozen events and been very reliable. It’s finished every event except one and is an ideal tough, reliable car to start rallying. very low mileage.

The specification from Roush was Ford Focus 1.4L LHD –X202 FEV:
