After last weeks coverage at Ford Fair it seems only right to continue the blog update with a shoot of one of the most iconic hot hatches of the last twenty years, the Focus RS MK1.
When the RS was introduced in 2002 Ford produced just 4501 examples of the Mk1 Focus. Everything from the numbered badge on the centre console to the prestige of the 'Rallye Sport' name suggested a sporting pedigree that would take over the mantle of the much over Escort Cosworth. A drivers car at an affordable price, clean ones of these now are far in excess of the cars original price new and to find modified ones is harder than you might think.
Naz Harrington's Focus RS has been modified to produce double the cars original power but with the Rota graphite alloys and subtle exterior mods it still looks stock, under the bonnet its a different matter though. You can see the full feature in the next issue of Fast Ford magazine. For now here are a few teasers from the car photography shoot that took place in Colchester.
