Focus RS mk1, 220bhp, 0-60 in 6.2 seconds The Focus Mk1 RS and the Mk2 ST have very similar power and performance, if not price tags. So which one would you go for, an obvious choice really! Or is it? I wrote up a little feature on the two cars looking at their value, as both a future classic purchase, and as a practical classic purchase. You can read my conclusions below

Just watched a repeat of Car SOS where they fix up a Sierra Cosworth (not the one above though) and I thought I would check up on the car’s MOT history and was a bit surprised by what came up. You would think that the restored cars would fly through their mot’s but this doesn’t seem to be the case with D100FOT, in fact there was a surprising amount of fails, assuming that the only mot that came up in the search,recorded in 2012, was the one it went through after the restoration. See the link below

Now I’m aware this might be a bit controversial but.. I was cruising the Fast Fords Facebook page other day when a Sportka popped up on the wall which was very quickly followed by a “the Sportka is no fast Ford” put down. Which got me thinking, would anyone say the same of a Mk1 XR2. Such cars are hugely popular these days with good examples going for £15k or more, but if you look at the spec sheets for both cars they are surprisingly similar.
