One passed me at fortwilliam this morning when i was filling up. I've seen photos of one that the owner had peeled the wrap off and it looks really nice in polished black.... not 46k nice mind

That's the going rate for them, crazy. Personally I'd buy a standard one at 25k, chip it and then get it wrapped - that's basically what Ford did anyway!

A mates dad bought two of them, and one of them sold pretty much instantly, and i think he's keeping the other one.

It will sell..................!

Yep, Ford have a very strong and very large fan base.

But yes it's very, very over priced (I think the RS is over priced). It's basically a Mountune RS with a vinyl wrap.

If you take the wrap off it's panther black. A standard Ford colour.

There was advertised on the mainland for offers over £41k last week

Passed that one the other day stephen in the rs...I nearly crashed as I never thought I'd see one actually being driven lol two mins later while waiting to pull into work an ultimate green English reg rs drove past. Thought these things were limited run lol

Common as muck Andy.

It is a lovely looking car, but I'd take an Escort Cosworth and an RS4/335D for that money.

 

[andy_gdon]

So it seems lol

 

[Bigman]

awesome..loved the video..

naa wouldnt pay that much though!! suppose its a limited..collectors cars now

 

[Paddy_R]

Only limit on them is the number they can sell!

 

[Brennan]

awesome car but stupid money for what is essentially a focus. I'd have a GTR instead

 

[Boydie]

The new Audi RS3, if its ever bloody made, will probably be in and around that price. Maybe a litte cheaper!

 

[Arfur]

I would take a mountune RS instead of an RS500 not cos of the price difference but because the 'ordinary' car looks far better without the wrap.

 

[pablo]

aye it wont be FWD tho

 

[Gambit]

how much where they from ford?

 

[Alan_B]

They look awsome in matt black, but the standard of the finish from the vinyl is nowhere near as good as paint!

The one I saw when doing some work at a Ford Dealer before delivery had light scores all over it, and just think what will happen when someone washes it not using the two bucket method

PLUS Ford dont have anyoner over here that can do it, so if it needs repaired it has to go back to the factory!

 

[Arfur]

how much where they from ford?

34-35k afaik.

 

[big_pete]

stupid money, but still very collectable car
