If it was apparent all the time I would suggest cold start is playing up

This revving problem does warm the car up though as you'd expect....

An efficient car should never do that, but having said that the temp gauge on your type of car does commonly play up so unfortunately it really is impossible to pin point any specific fault over an internet forum.
Coupled with the revving issue you really are going to have to get it looked at by a garage, I would try a reputable Ford dealer and ask them to diagnose only first before repairing as they have good product knowledge and should be able to diagnose quickly albeit a higher labour rate, a smaller, cheaper garage may spend longer trying to find the fault.
I know it is not what you want to hear and if you were nearer I would gladly take a look but it's the best advice I can offer.
