History

The ST modelled was purchased from Hendy Ford Chichester, West Sussex, on 9th September, 2016, by the first owner, a lady who kept it until spring 2024 and covered 39,000 miles. The current and second owner, Essex-based Brett Davidson, bought it from independent dealer Abberton Car Sales, Colchester, Essex, on 13th May, 2024, and loves its combination of performance and practicality. 

STs are often modified, but he intends to leave it standard as he uses it as his regular transport and has covered nearly 10,000 trouble-free miles in less than a year of ownership. He feels that it drives very well and does not want to upset its balance by adding more power. The Mk3 Focus, known as the C346, was launched in 2010 and revised in 2014, most noticeably around the nose, which featured Ford’s now familiar family grille and slimline headlights. 

The ST-3 was the most lavish of the three trim levels offered and featured such luxuries as Bi-Xenon headlights that also had adaptive front lighting and a jetwash. The interior cosseted the occupants in Windsor leather heated Recaro sports seats that were eight-way power adjustable and featured the ST logo. This car’s 19” silver alloy wheels, specified from the Style Pack options list, show off the red brake callipers and its performance intent, while its 8” touchscreen, DAB audio system and Quickclear windscreen make it easy to live with on the daily commute.
