#0212

[RS001]

Hi, I didn't introduce myself yet, so here I am 😀.

I'm from Belgium and proud owner of #0212.

I ordered it back in jan 2002 and received it in nov 2002.

It's completely standard (@Clayton : can you change this on the buildlist as it states “modified”, thx😀), has covered 14508km (9015miles) and only has seen rain once in it's life.

Hello and welcome 👋. It sounds like you have looked after yours very well with that sort of mileage and having only used it once in the rain.

[RS001]

Yes, you could say it's still close to factory new. And because I bought it at my family's Ford-dealership, I managed to take the car home with me (after removing the transport-blocs) as it came direct from the factory. So I managed to retain all the original factory-stickers and the other stuff it came with😀.

Welcome Bart to registering on our club forum and good to see you here. Pleased to read you still own 0212.

I remember your car well from when you were in connection with the RSOC forum and a club member. As I was the Focus RS Registrar with the RSOC is where I was aware you had registered your car with the club and 0212 was an early registered car and number 58. It was this form you filled in and sent to the RSOC the modifications were shown as having a Graham Goode Racing dump valve and Ford Racing badges fitted. I will only list cars as original (Standard) if they were never modified Bart.

Hope to see you using the forum for your help and can offer others help.

Hi Clayton,

We also met each other back in 2005 when I entered concours on the RSOC national day (if I remember correctly).

You know my car better then me 😀. I even didn't remember it myself, but the GGR valve and badges were removed over 10 years or more ago I think.

Indeed Chris, the Belgian RS-world is a small world 😉. I live in Limburg (Belgium). It's still on it's original registration RS-001 😀.

Hello and welcome to the forum, can't be many cars that still have their original owners from new.

When I bought it back in 2002, it was really with the intention to own it for the rest of my life and to have max 15000 km on it's 25th birthday 😀.

[S1 RST]

So you're only allowed less than a 100km per year next 7 years 😱😱

Hi and welcome!

@ S1 RST Indeed, the last 11 years I only drove it once a year, from storage to the Belgian obligated annual MOT and back to storage.
