After 3 years of ownership, it is unfortunately time for my Ford Puma to go to a new home. I purchased this car back in March 2021 during Covid as a project for my son and me to convert it into an affordable and fun Track car and it has been a joy to own. The car has been built using the best parts I could get (sometimes a bit difficult for a 25-year-old car) and I have lots of pictures of the build from start to finish.

Car started life as a 2 Lady owner with a Full Service History, firstly by Ford then 13 stamps by the same independent garage in Cheshire East. I have the original service book and all the other handbooks. During my ownership, the car has had a Full Major Service Inc Cambelt Water pump, all fluids and been maintained regardless of cost. The car has had no MOT Advisories for the last 3 years. Since owning the vehicle my son and I have done track days at Oulton Park, Castle Coombe, and my son did the NC500 with the NSPCC Bear.

The car has performed faultlessly. It may not be a high-horsepower car but the handling and braking are just amazing. The Puma is in excellent condition with no rusty arches like most Puma’s of this age. In the 3 years of ownership, I have only covered a total of just under 3200 miles (When I purchased the car had covered 75000 miles) mileage is now at 78175 (May increase slightly). I am having a few of the smaller decals updated and will add some fresh pictures; after this week but have uploaded some of the older pics for now.

I have seen this car and it's something very special, absolutely immaculate and prepared to a very high specification, using quality components, I wish I had the money to buy it, but unfortunately I haven't.
I honestly don't think you'd find a better Puma for sale, a bargain for someone.

Thank you John for your kind words.
 
Has this car been raced or built to race specification for a certain championship? TIA

Thanks for the question, The Car has been built as a Track Day car, not been professionally raced, just 3 to 4 Track days with my son.
