The first ST500 (1/500) is currently for sale in a wolverhampton Ford dealer and is around 16k

They also have a brand new blue RS for sale (cancelled order)....

All ST 500 are the first one of 500. They all have that nice badge with 1 written on it

it just means 1 of 500, not number 1 of 500.

who knows, its not like it would have cost anymore to number each one individually.

 

[troy45]

It would cost them a bit more because the supplier would have to tool up each badge individually and I'm not sure how they'd work at getting the necessary approvals when each part is different. Easier to manage in the factory too.

That might be why the Mk1 FRS lost Ford money by individual build numbers

and whoever got numbers after 500 would be a bit gutted

I can think of 1 or 2 other reasons too!

Ain't rocket science to number up cars individually but costs a lot more than banging out 500 (or so) badges saying '1 of 500' especially if they've blown the budget already on pimping up the interior with red leather lol
