  • First RS for me - 2755

    Good evening all,

    This is the first post for me. My name is Tom and I am from Kent . Well, what a long wait I have had to purchase my dream car that I have been saving for! I have been looking for a good few months now and I feel without this amazing club, and the one and only Clayton, AKA RS guru. I feel it would not have been possible to end up with something so special. A Focus RS Clayton made contact with the owner on my behalf, a member who was looking to sell his car and hadn't advertised.

    Marknash1984 what better way to purchase a car from a fellow club member and an RS enthusiast. Cannot thank Mark enough for his honesty and down to earth attitude, not hiding anything and being so open on niggley bits, which lets face it most cars of this age suffer from. The knowledge I have gained from this club is second to none. I have learned so much and it's amazing to be a part of this group. I look forward to doing some shows and meeting like-minded people.

    Clayton Again I cannot thank Clayton enough for his second-to-none knowledge, advice and support in guiding me through this process, which has been an experience. Nothing has been too much trouble. Taking phone call after phone call, messages and a road trip to the outer Hebrides only to look at what I can say was a poorly advertised car, which I kindly declined thank God. It's all come good and I am now a proud owner of a lovely example.

    Many thanks, Tomo

    Welcome! All honest members would point out all the 'Niggles' Sadly mine wernt when I purchased mine! However over the last 3-4 years I've slowly worked my way though it!

    Clayton is a fountain of knowledge. I'm sure he reads the Finis Codes before bed

    Were all a weird bunch too - But enjoy it and have fun! We'll see you at some shows. 25th Anniversary only a few years away!

        Hi mate, keep plugging as they are out there. Don't rush, look at a few, and hopefully something will come up for sale in the area. I am in the Medway towns, Have you looked at any as yet?

            Welcome to Mk1 Focus RS ownership, Tom!

            I know it’s been a bit of a wait for you to find the right car, but your patience has paid off. 2755 is truly a special example, and I’m happy to have recommended the car when hearing of the car being considered for sale.

            I’ve known this car for many years and have always held it in high regard. As the Mk1 Focus RS Registrar with the RSOC, I had the privilege of conducting two agreed valuations on this car, and I can honestly say it’s one of the finest examples. Every owner who has had this car has been meticulous in their care, and it’s clear that each one has truly cherished it.

            I’m confident you’ll continue to appreciate and maintain the car’s excellent condition. Enjoy every moment with this remarkable example Tom.

              Thank you Clayton 100% worth waiting for the right car to come up and saving some money in the meantime helped a bunch . Finding one with without engine mods felt impossible but on the other hand it just shows they are out there still . Looking forward to meeting like minded members when the weather brightens up.
              Thanks again Clayton for your help and efforts appreciate it .
