It's finally time to head to Essex Ford to collect my brand new Ford Focus RS Heritage Edition! It's one of just 50 cars built and comes from factory with the Mountune FPM 375 package. What would be better then than to jump in my project Red Edition to pick up the new ecoBeast for a convoy back home!
Having shown you the new car a few months ago I decided to delay collection so that it could wear a UK '68' registration to pay tribute to the 1968 car that the car is built to honour on its 50th anniversary. That meant I could only pick it up in September due to the peculiar number plate system but that fit perfectly to bring out the now modified Red Edition to come meet its very special sibling at the dealership.
The Heritage Edition is so rare that any dealer that got one, only got a single car, and is finished in the exclusive Tief Orange paintwork found on the 1968 Escort mk1. In terms of the Shmee150 garage, the Heritage will sit in the 'permanent' collection with the current 675LT and GT8 where it will be driven but will also be kept long term as part of the special fleet. The reason for two Focus RS models in the garage is very much for different purposes; the Heritage represents a truly special stock item that will be part of my car collection, whereas the Red is a fun project to explore, experiment and no doubt spend a lot of time in garages having bits and pieces done along the way.
To celebrate the collection day, we've arranged a giveaway with Richbrook where you can win a Ford goodie bag by signing up to the Shmee150 shop newsletter - and also get all the latest news and offers by doing so. https://shmee150.com/shop/newsletter/
