Corgi Vanguard Ford Focus Mk3 ST Tangerine Scream VA15302 1:43 scale

The Ford Focus has been a sales success since it was launched in 1998 as a sensational looking replacement for the long-running Escort range. The third generation Focus, codenamed C346 while being developed, was announced in December 2010, and remained in production in Europe until 2018.

It differed from previous models in not being offered as a 3-door hatchback but that didn’t stop Ford offering a performance orientated version of the 5-door, the ST, which went on sale in the UK in the summer of 2012. It featured a 247bhp turbocharged 4-cylinder 2-litre EcoBoost engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, which gave the car an impressive 0-60 mph time of 6.2 seconds.
