Ford Puma and very brief car history

[Another Fluffer]

Love the Puma How much is the insurance for it?

[smileymikey]

Ive just checked out the insurance, because my daughter is coming up to 17. I cant believe how cheap it is to put her on to my policy....800 quid for this as opposed to about 1500 for a one litre Polo...I suspect a young lady is going to be very happy come Christmas!!

nice little car, yer right they handle brilliant, like most fords really, shame people cant see past a badge, i remember sitting in a ford dealership, [oxford one, just off the a34 under that office block] with me brother and him buying the demonstrator as there was such a long wiating list, it was r reg and silver, destipe it being technicaly secondhand he had to pay the full price for it

Think I saw that Puma on ebay (1.4 yeah?) - plate rings a ball.

Been looking at getting one for a while but need to get mine shifted first. Cracking cars and that was a great price you got it for.

Indeed it was

Just thought i'd add a few more photos of it



At the end of buttertubs pass



At the Wrynose pass (Britains steepest road IIRC) no problems climbing up, a 350Z even pulled over to let me pass as i was making more progress! Could smell the clutch a bit at the top though





Just some other random photos.

So what does it need? well there is some horrible lacquer peel on the bumper and passenger side rear quarter and the passenger mirror needs painting. Probably not worth getting it painted, but we'll see.
A new front splitter should be coming soon aswell.

I'll be at the sunday service at MB world, so come and say hi

These cars are great fun, a future classic I think.
