'Er, can you move the blue one to the right?'
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Ford Racing Puma, 48 Racing Pumas gathered last weekend at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford - where the original press photos for the car were taken.
The gathering brought together almost 10 per cent of the 500 Racing Pumas originally made.
The fun and festivities of the day culminated in the gathering together of the cars for a no-doubt less-than-rapid photocall in front of Duxford's American Air Museum hangar. There was also a concours competition - won by Alan Mowberry's A15 PUM. Very nice.
Of course, the inevitable corollary to posting a story like this on PH is a trawl through the
PH classifieds to see what Racing Pumas are going for
Quite a lot, as it turns out - generally you'll need to part with around £6k, although this 73k-mile Racing Puma has recently popped up on PH for a tidy-sounding £4.5k.
Closer to this author's Shed-sized budget are the less glamorous but equally loveable regular models. We particularly liked this specced-to-the-gunwales Y-plate Puma Black Edition, up for £2195.
