Ford Focus I - for this model of the Russian assembly, they were queued
Ford cars in Russia in the early 90s were not very respected. Of course, compared to the domestic auto industry, these cars are much better, but the value of Ford and Opel was about the same. Chinese cars did not exist in Russia at that time, and Korean cars were somehow not classified as foreign cars.


And only one Ford model managed to break stereotypes and win people's love - Focus. The car was assembled in Russia, it was distinguished by its simplicity and cheapness. Until now, in our country, these cars are driven and resold on the used market. If it weren’t for problems with a rotting body, as it should be according to popular rumor, the Ford Focus can be considered the best budget foreign car.

The author of the channel "Ivan Zenkevich PRO Cars" will talk about the first generation Ford Focus. He came across an interesting specimen - for many years it was used as a monument, or more precisely, it was a symbol of the plant. It is believed that this is the first Ford Focus that came off the assembly line in Russia. In fact, this is not so - specialists who have been working at the enterprise since its foundation will say that, judging by the VIN, this is the 25th copy. He got on the podium because of the simplest and cheapest configuration. By the way, the prices for the first generation Ford Focus can now make you cry. For a car in the basic configuration, they asked for only $ 10. At the then exchange rate, it was 900 rubles.
