I
’ll let you into a little secret:
as well as flying about all
over the UK photographing
and writing about awesome
fast Fords, I also work for my local race
track, Castle Combe. The fast, and
challenging circuit is just 15-minutes from
my house and has become like my
second home. One of my regular jobs is
to attend shows to take photos, and it
was on one such job that I spotted Luke
Jones’ Focus RS.
Parked up next to a varied bunch ofFords, including a Mk2 Granada with BMW
V8 engine and a fully stanced Fiesta ST Mk7,
this stunning Focus RS caught my eye.
With a raft of exterior mods including ACR
Composites bumpers and gold Fifteen52
wheels, it certainly deserved its place in the
Show and Shine competition, but there was
more to it than an immaculate exterior. A
quick chat with owner, Luke, revealed it was
packing a fully-built, 670bhp engine with
Syvecs management.
Luke takes up the story...
“After seeing a Focus RS a couple of weeksafter it’d been released, I just knew I had
to own a Mk2 one day,” he reveals. “Then
in 2015, a close friend bought himself an
Ultimate Green car and seeing it day-in,
day-out, I knew it wouldn’t be long before
I’d be parting with my ST250 and getting
my own RS.” The search for the perfect
car began and having just missed out on
the ideal model at MCR Specialist Cars,
this one popped up, with the options he
wanted, so Luke did the deal.
For the next two years he enjoyed the
new RS. It was quickly upgraded andFOCUS RS MK2Ѳ FAS T FOR D SEPTEMBER 2019I
