I think i could have asked for more, however in this case i want the next owner to not only get a great car, but also a great deal and i can ensure that by not being too greedy on the price! Someone will do very well when buying this one!
@@apolitik I havent listed it anywhere quite yet, I’m giving the viewers a few days to get in touch via Instagram if they’re interested and then if it does sell that way, I’ll advertise in the usual way 👍
Market value is market value, doesn’t matter what work and money you put in, it wouldn’t be worth more then market value, although if one with lower miles went for 5k on eBay, his 80k mile car is surely worth 3.5k, I would say 2.5k is a little low
ive got a one owner tddi estate 2003 only 49k and put it up for 2500 and a sport tdci 87k ink blue for 2500 and no interest.both cars very clean condition with good mots and no interest. there worth that all day long.
There is an amazing Ford Focus UK FB group. I am sure someone will appreciate the work put into this vehicle. I like how you give the viewer a chance to buy first, appreciate that.
I have been glued to this series, to look forward to watching a £200 Ford Focus restoration is absolutely testament to you and your skills Johnny. I think I can speak for a lot of your viewers… you are the relatable channel we want to see a lot more of, you deserve all of your success and I personally prefer this sort of content vs a lot of the mainstream UA-camrs! Someone is going to bag themselves a cracking little car there! 😀👏
Really enjoyed this series. A few good Mk 1s still running around here in Ireland. They catch your eye in the way up coming classics do. When launched, Top Gear did the test, and Clarkson said, "It is superb." My son has a Mk1 Ka under cover in a shed, its day will come too. Well done, your hard work will be well rewarded. 10:10
I think i could've chased bigger profits however i want someone to feel great about the deal when buying this one. A great car for a fair price - everyones a winner!
Great job and all but no way it's worth anywhere near £4k. I think £2k is too much too. I have a 2008 Astra XP 150 with all the extras I'm thinking of selling and I'd get around £1.5k for it at a push and it's twice the car. Can't understand the price point at all.
@@Awilkinson1979the difference there is the Astras are still very common and now rock bottom prices (don't get me wrong, they're really good cars, I've got an 08 one myself as a daily driver!). MK1 Focuses are undoubtedly already increasing in value and a near future classic. Don't forget he's got a full account of the work done available on UA-cam to any buyer to show the level of work that's gone in. I think at £2k he'd sell it within 24 hours... £2.5k is the right asking price and it'll be sold within a week or two.
Really enjoyed the series of vlogs on the focus. Been very inspiring,seeing the amount of detail you put into your work & the results of that effort. All the best with the sale & look forward to the next project 👍
You have done amazing work on the car someone is going to have excellent car as the mk1 ford focus are brilliant cars I love them I have owned a one for 13 years now
Fantastic Ford focus. I wish I had £2500 to buy it off you as it looks brand new. Thank you for making that Ford focus like brand new. Future ford classic. Definitely!!!!
You did a remarkable job rejuvenating this old Focus. I'm a huge Ford fan, and more than that, I'm strangely addicted to Ghia spec Fords. Love the velour and all the extras that come with it. If I was in the UK, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately, I live halfway around the world in Australia. I sincerely hope it goes to a good home, to someone who will treasure it.
Thank you! I’m sure this will go to an enthusiast and I’m pleased to have played a part in keeping this wonderful car on the road for many years to come!
There is something about a Ghia isn't there?! I've only had the one sadly - a MK3 Escort back in the 90s. Made Jonny's Focus look expensive, I paid £160 but got half my money back when the engine let go on the motorway on the way home from buying it!!
Yep looks great. Just what I thought you had to start with. You have dune a great job on the car. Just in a way we used to, it’s having the knowledge and knack to do it witch you clearly have. It’s a crazy that people think it’s fit for scrap rather keep it going witch is a far greener way to do it. So great job. Will enjoy looking for the next one. Bob.
Really enjoyed this series on the Focus, I used to have a 1.6 LX converted to Ghia spec including trip computer, it was so easy to do, was a lovely car, they did a review of the Mk1 Focus in Practical Classics so they are aware of it's upcoming classic status, a modern classic with some tech but still easy to work on, that's a fine example and should sell first buyer
Hi Johnny loved vids on mk1focus just like to tell you about mine its a2001. 1.8 Zetec 5 door purchased for £650. 14 years ago with approximately 20.000 miles its now done about 100.03 thousand faultless miles as you say it's a future classic just had first bit of welding done on end of sill like yours.ive attended a few car shows this year and have yet to see any other focus mk1s apart from ST and RS type another area where they rust is behind the wheel arch liners as these a made of an absorbent material and hold water when wet once again thanks for your vids5🌟
Hi Paul, thanks for watching! Your Focus sounds like its been a loyal friend over the years! It's cars like yours which [in my opinion] make a mockery of the scrappage scheme...Surely to any sane mind it's less polluting to keep a good car like that on the road than it is to scrap it and manufacture a new electric car (including all the mining and associated shipping)?! Well done on keeping a sound car going!
Loved this series, it’s given me the inspiration to start buying and selling cheap cars again n maybe bring something new to my channel as I’ve hit a wall with it. So thank you, i will be here for your future content 👍🏻
Thanks for watching & there is more on the way soon! In the meantime check out some of my other videos on my channel to see what else I have worked on!
I am a cheap Barfstart, and i´d have said 3,5k - work hours done/labor - parts´n´products - research - MOT And i agree that - the missing maintenance Records - serving as an indicator for future work or future breakdowns - are worrying.
Youve done such a great job here. When, not if, sold, take a few quid from the cash and buy yourself a pint, sit down, and reflect on what you've achieved here: You have brought a future classic car back from the brink. You have most likely gained several subscribers to your channel. You have got more people talking about the Focus as a (near) future classic. You have produced a great series of videos. I for one look forward to your next project car. This type of thing is way more interesting then supercars!
Johnny you know that noise when you send a message “Swoosh”. Well that’s the noise you’ll hear when it flies out the door. That’ll be snapped up instantly. A Great car turned into an Awesome car. What’s not to like? Looking forward to the next episode when you reveal the numbers.
The Focus is actually still with me! I did sell it pretty much immediately (and took a deposit), but the logistics of picking up the car were too much for the buyer so that sale fell through. I do really like the Focus but i can't keep it as a workshop ornament forever so i will continue to advertise it and hope that the right buyer appears soon!
I think you’re asking a very fare price. I’m ex Motor Trade myself and have watched this series with interest. As you described in the video, given the overall effort in terms of time, parts, materials and MOT costs, i think you’ve pitched it right. Prior to release of this video, I myself thought circa £2k so your suggestion came as no surprise. I’ve always liked the Mark1 Focus, and given my current situation, would have loved to have this as my personal car to compliment my business vehicle, but although i have the money, i can’t justify the expense. Good luck with the sale, and happy motoring to the new owner. They’re getting a very honest car.
Hey Johnny boy that's mega cheap for such an honest, and original car, you put in so much time and effort, I honestly thought you would be much near the 4k mark. Either way best of luck with the sale.
What's your next project ? think you should buy a Renault Kangoo and convert it into a Micro Camper. They going up in price .I bought a 2005 one with full service history for £750 last year did the micro camper conversion cost around £1000 and now it's worth around £5000 nice profit. And it be a great series .
I have a few options at the moment, however it is as yet unconfirmed! The Fourtrak restoration has made several big leaps forward so I’ll likely release the latest instalment on that next 👍
Over here in Ireland there not that many around but i guess UK is bigger country so lot more say older cars over than Ireland most get scrapper over here due to snubs because of year age of car etc
Great videos buddy! Awesome content quick question...I've sprayed with rattle cans for years on and off and I've recently got a cheap spray gun for my compressor...I'm just after advice where to buy the paint etc? And is it just pour in and use straight away etc or would I have to thin it out? Cheers buddy. 😁👍
Hi Daniel. Good move on the spray gun. With a bit of practice youl'l be very glad you bought that! RE paint...I generally buy my paint from an online supplier (but also use my local paint shop). All you really need is a paint code. You can buy paint that is 'Ready For Use' (RFU) if you don't want to deal with thinning etc 👍
@@JohnnyGetsCash awesome! Thanks alot cheers for speedy reply too! Yeh looking to spray alloys and do the odd bits and bobs that need repairing paint wise on cars. Really enjoy these videos keep it up. 👍
@@JohnnyGetsCash and yes mate my local auto store mixes whatever colour spray can ready to use or u can have it as paint so im guessing read to pour and use in spray gun too like the can. 😁👍
Fab car, great price. If I had the spare cash id be 1st to message but as Insaid on a previous video you have inspired me to have a go at making my 2007 fiesta ZS better
My father in law traded his mint mk1 focus Ghia ,52 reg in to local ford dealer , only got £800 quid for it as told no demand for it and had 50 k miles, this was 10yrs ago btw, I would have bought it off him at the time but didn’t need a second car back then!
That's when the Euro 4 standard (which is the required standard for ULEZ) became law for new cars sold, however many manufacturers were ahead of the game and brought in models which complied well ahead of time. I've heard of petrol cars going back to 2002 which comply.
Thanks David, I do feel that I could’ve asked a bit more for the car but at this price point I like to think that the new owner will not just be getting a great car but also a great deal!
You didnt take it to Kwik fit for it's MOT by any chance? I have just had the same thing on a rear spring having an advisory for corrosion, when in fact there wasnt any evidence of any corrosion on any spring, unlike you I did bring it up and the guy took it off agreeing with me (funny thing was it was the same bloke that done the MOT as the retest, btw it failed on a top mount they quoted me £391 for 2 top mounts and a tyre, anyway I changed both plus did the shocks myself for £150.....con men
I think if your not gonna advertise it for more then 2,500 you should make the exception and keep it for yourself as a treat Iv got a 1.6 Zetec mk1 and it’s a great car
The temptation is real believe me! At the moment i'm holding on to the car as the market for them is starting the rumble and i think values for clean example is about to rocket!
This has been interesting series. But I assumed this video would have included total cost so far and an online auction of the car to really see the value of the efforts. So didn't get the fulfillment I was looking for.
I haven’t advertised the car yet, I’m giving the viewers a couple of days to get in touch directly if they’d like to buy it. Once it has sold I will release an update 👍
A year or two back a thousand pounds would have got you that car but now with electric only cars being made in the future these old petrol cars are already becoming “modern classics” and investing a further grand or so into getting them roadworthy again will become very common place I believe…
@@JohnnyGetsCash Actually I couldn't as I'm 1. on the wrong island 2. I have €80 which is "slightly" less then £2500 and 3. I need to wait another year to have a license but I'm sure in an alternate universe where I'm slightly older, have "slightly" more money and I'm on the right island in, I would buy it
TBH J, this will fly out of the door, especially if someone who watches you work buys it, you are the sort of person that doesn't B/S about your cars and that goes along way in my book, £2500.00 is a steal people.
I love you tube as platform for guys like yourself Johnny who can share your work on projects like this one im not on intragram myself prefer you tube or Facebook but it is great way to get noticed and that
Worth £2.750 all day long dont forget more and more are going off the road every week and the effort you have gone to, to fix all the common issues with rust etc. Like i said out of all the Ford cars its the best driving one by a country mile and trust me i have driven a lot of the last 30 odd yrs . They are only gonna go up in value now and people will soon realise their true worth. Great content again by the way 👍
@@FCD844 it’s not actually listed anywhere yet as I’d like to give the viewers chance to get in touch before I advertise to the wider public. If you’re interested drop me a message on Instagram or by email and I can give you any details you require 👍
I think 2,500 is too cheap considering for how much work you've done to it.
I think i could have asked for more, however in this case i want the next owner to not only get a great car, but also a great deal and i can ensure that by not being too greedy on the price! Someone will do very well when buying this one!
@JohnnyGetsCash agree. Put up the link of the listing on this video description.

Love this series and great end result. Worth £4k all day long -but understand your rationale. I’d buy if I didn’t already have too many cars !

Youre a youtube wheeler dealer, it has been really good to watch ! Would be good to see you to go on to more and better cars 😀
Thanks for watching & there is more on the way soon! In the meantime check out some of my other videos on my channel to see what else I have worked on!
Looking forward to the next one, really enjoyed watching you transfirm the car. I think you've sold the Focus at a very fair price. 👍
Thank you!
Really! enjoyed this! Well done Johnny.
Thank you for watching!
I am a cheap Barfstart, and i´d have said 3,5k
- work hours done/labor
- parts´n´products
- research
- MOT
And i agree that - the missing maintenance Records - serving as an indicator for future work or future breakdowns - are worrying.
Youve done such a great job here. When, not if, sold, take a few quid from the cash and buy yourself a pint, sit down, and reflect on what you've achieved here:

Thank you! I don't think this one will hang about for long and someone will get a cracking example of a brilliant, useable classic. It's a win win!
Nice finish to the mk1 focus story, would like an update on the price you eventually got.
The Focus is actually still with me! I did sell it pretty much immediately (and took a deposit), but the logistics of picking up the car were too much for the buyer so that sale fell through. I do really like the Focus but i can't keep it as a workshop ornament forever so i will continue to advertise it and hope that the right buyer appears soon!
I think you’re asking a very fare price. I’m ex Motor Trade myself and have watched this series with interest. As you described in the video, given the overall effort in terms of time, parts, materials and MOT costs, i think you’ve pitched it right. Prior to release of this video, I myself thought circa £2k so your suggestion came as no surprise.

Good luck with the sale, and happy motoring to the new owner. They’re getting a very honest car.
Thanks for checking it out and thanks for your kind words!
Hey Johnny boy that's mega cheap for such an honest, and original car, you put in so much time and effort, I honestly thought you would be much near the 4k mark. Either way best of luck with the sale.
Maybe I’ve low-balled myself 😂
Just watched the first wash vid this morning, and now this!
I hope you're enjoying the Focus videos!
Fantastic work, well done. And it would be great if people were more to see value for things instead of price.
True. The MK1 certainly offers fantastic value no matter how one measures it!
Exceptionally great job Johnny, wishing you the very best luck on the sale (but I don’t think you need it, as it probably went already)! 😊
Thanks very much! The car is still here right now but i have several people on it...it's just a case of who gets here first!
What products do you use when cleaning the car especially the outside plastics
What's your next project ? think you should buy a Renault Kangoo and convert it into a Micro Camper. They going up in price .I bought a 2005 one with full service history for £750 last year did the micro camper conversion cost around £1000 and now it's worth around £5000 nice profit. And it be a great series .
I have a few options at the moment, however it is as yet unconfirmed! The Fourtrak restoration has made several big leaps forward so I’ll likely release the latest instalment on that next 👍
That's a fair price the car looks fab we'll done you!
Fantastic job Johnny. Someone is going to pick up a bargain.
I like to think I’ve priced it fairly enough that someone will feel that they’ve had a great deal on a wonderful car! Thanks for watching!
Over here in Ireland there not that many around but i guess UK is bigger country so lot more say older cars over than Ireland most get scrapper over here due to snubs because of year age of car etc

I'll buy it!!! Can you do delivery? I live in the blue mountains in Australia. Cash on delivery.
Shipping might be a bit prohibitive!
@@JohnnyGetsCash it would cost 20 times the value of the car. Lol
I bought a brand new one of these, I imported it from Ireland, V reg. Cost me £13000 with every possible extra.
Fab car, great price. If I had the spare cash id be 1st to message but as Insaid on a previous video you have inspired me to have a go at making my 2007 fiesta ZS better
Appreciate it! There's always a great feeling when transforming your own car so i understand where you're coming from!
Really enjoyed the series and have subscribed. Look forward to the next one... can you give us a clue what it is?! 😁
I have a few potential candidates here already however I haven’t chosen which to do quite yet!
My father in law traded his mint mk1 focus Ghia ,52 reg in to local ford dealer , only got £800 quid for it as told no demand for it and had 50 k miles, this was 10yrs ago btw, I would have bought it off him at the time but didn’t need a second car back then!
Ouch!
As a reference In Australia there’s one similar and it’s 5.5k AUD.
Prices are definitely on the way up!
I'd love to buy the focus but I'm not on Instagram. 😢 is there a way i could have a chance to buy ?
Sure! You can contact me by email. My details are in the about page of my channel here 👍
Ulez compliant? I thought it was 2005 and newer for petrol
That's when the Euro 4 standard (which is the required standard for ULEZ) became law for new cars sold, however many manufacturers were ahead of the game and brought in models which complied well ahead of time. I've heard of petrol cars going back to 2002 which comply.
Great series 👍🏻🥰
Thanks for watching!
2500 is a very fair price for the car. I would say you could get more if you wanted to possibly wait a little longer for it to sale.
Thanks David, I do feel that I could’ve asked a bit more for the car but at this price point I like to think that the new owner will not just be getting a great car but also a great deal!
Will you do a video just to let us know it's sold
Sure, I’m more than willing to give an update as and when the car sells!
You didnt take it to Kwik fit for it's MOT by any chance? I have just had the same thing on a rear spring having an advisory for corrosion, when in fact there wasnt any evidence of any corrosion on any spring, unlike you I did bring it up and the guy took it off agreeing with me (funny thing was it was the same bloke that done the MOT as the retest, btw it failed on a top mount they quoted me £391 for 2 top mounts and a tyre, anyway I changed both plus did the shocks myself for £150.....con men
No it wasn’t kwik fit but it was a new tester at the garage I always use so maybe that’s where he’s from! Good work sorting your issues 👍
Well worth it . Every penny.
Thank you!
Enjoy these 😊
I think if your not gonna advertise it for more then 2,500 you should make the exception and keep it for yourself as a treat Iv got a 1.6 Zetec mk1 and it’s a great car
The temptation is real believe me! At the moment i'm holding on to the car as the market for them is starting the rumble and i think values for clean example is about to rocket!
This has been interesting series. But I assumed this video would have included total cost so far and an online auction of the car to really see the value of the efforts. So didn't get the fulfillment I was looking for.
I haven’t advertised the car yet, I’m giving the viewers a couple of days to get in touch directly if they’d like to buy it. Once it has sold I will release an update 👍
A year or two back a thousand pounds would have got you that car but now with electric only cars being made in the future these old petrol cars are already becoming “modern classics” and investing a further grand or so into getting them roadworthy again will become very common place I believe…
I really want to own a mk1 focus one day
You could own this one!
@@JohnnyGetsCash Actually I couldn't as I'm 1. on the wrong island 2. I have €80 which is "slightly" less then £2500 and 3. I need to wait another year to have a license but I'm sure in an alternate universe where I'm slightly older, have "slightly" more money and I'm on the right island in, I would buy it
TBH J, this will fly out of the door, especially if someone who watches you work buys it, you are the sort of person that doesn't B/S about your cars and that goes along way in my book, £2500.00 is a steal people.
Thanks very much!
I love you tube as platform for guys like yourself Johnny who can share your work on projects like this one im not on intragram myself prefer you tube or Facebook but it is great way to get noticed and that
Very nice car the mk1 focus is then the mk4 golf
Worth £2.750 all day long dont forget more and more are going off the road every week and the effort you have gone to, to fix all the common issues with rust etc. Like i said out of all the Ford cars its the best driving one by a country mile and trust me i have driven a lot of the last 30 odd yrs . They are only gonna go up in value now and people will soon realise their true worth. Great content again by the way 👍
Thanks for watching!
"taps his hat"
Well I did say in my last comment £ 1995, so I wasn't too far off........
£1500 max
👍🇬🇧
2.5K LMAOOO it’s a £700 car max you can buy a mint mk2 focus for around £1300
Please tell me (and everyone else) where you can get a mint Mk1 focus (as this video is about the MK1 not the MK2) for £1300! I’ll buy them all!
Is it for sale still?
As of right now it is still available!
@@JohnnyGetsCash where is it listed for sale? Autotrader etc ebay etc.
Cheers
@@FCD844 it’s not actually listed anywhere yet as I’d like to give the viewers chance to get in touch before I advertise to the wider public. If you’re interested drop me a message on Instagram or by email and I can give you any details you require 👍
@@JohnnyGetsCash hi Johnny thanks for the reply🙂👍
