I see the Munchi's Focus was brand new for Rally of Italy EX07 PXN........How come they get a brand new car before the BP factory Ford team?

About the Focus of Luis Perez Companc. It is the same as last year when M-Sport made a new Focus for the Stobart crews. (Japan 2006)
Nothing is newer then the car of BP Ford's, only the reg plate. It is the same homologation.
Last week my cousing went with her school in a visit to the ford centre en Dagenham, Essex. She took this pics and as you can see it looks like Gardemeister's Focus WRC its just parked outside the main entrance. for what I can see it looks like it is the real deal. She also got some FordWRT freebies so Im a little bit intrigued. The pics are not that good because they didnt let them use cameras once outside the bus. If some one know if this is the real deal, do you know why its there? or any other info?
thanks
I think the registration is EX9 UTW not sure if you would like to take a closer look at the pics, please PM I have them in high resolution
heres the other one
Jonas my dad goes down there a lot and he's taken pictures of similar cars. I would imagine this is another road going focus done up to look like a rally car by a Ford employee. I believe there are a few down there. A slight clue is in the fuel cap.
yeah that was what I was thinking, anyway if it is a replica is quite a good one

Luis is not driving his car he used in italy. (EA07 PXN) It is EU55 BNA
I think in car EA07 PXN is something broken during the crash Companc had. Thats why change the car.
The EU55 BNA is the old car of Juan Pablo Raies in 2007 and Mikko Hirvonen in 2006.
A quick question about the new 07 Focus. Do we think Ford will convert a few of the existing cars to 07 spec or will we see a new wave of cars? My thinking is that there are already plenty of 06 cars and that some of them will be converted in a similar way to the 03 cars becoming 04 cars. We already know of one 07 car in existence.
Do you know what the updates on the car are Jaanus?
Well hopefully now some of the 06 cars will finally be sold to the top privateers in Ireland.Quote:

That is a strange way to think that there is too many? 06 cars.....there can never be too many.
The changes are really small. The aerodynamics will change, the weight ballast distribution will change and the engine will have a small update, but nothing major, it is just a small evolution.
Offcourse many of the current cars will be updated to 07 spec and same new cars will be built.
