May sound a stupid question, but what colour is the car?

Yellow or Imperial Blue?

Yellow - It's a project car off here built by Andy, not a real FRP but dressed up to look like one with original 909 parts minus the Mondeo alloys.

Imp Blue - Will need to see a link to the car to check the FRP##.

also find out the engine manifold number, someone may know the car.

as above - there was a bloke on here who made and FRP type replica with his millennium Puma not so long back which is on ebay and is Yellow...

Dangerous Dave with his Millennium would never try to pass it off as an FRP though. He was happy to have a Hybrid.

Check all of the history. If you are really serious then contact Ed on the RPOC with the Chassis number from the car and he'll tell you whether it was one of the original builds.

Might be someone who bought the millenium off ebay/Andy and is now trying to pass it on as an FRP. I've seen dodgier goings on so it wouldn't suprise me.

Andy's didn't sell on eBay, he's re-listed it on Piston Heads instead to try and attract a serious buyer.

But i doesn't always show them as Racing from memory.. although mine does

 

[Alex_gregory_uk]

Just ran mine through ETIS and thought it didn't show as a racing puma till...

Minor Features
Ford Racing Puma

Liking the way it's listed I have a feeling it's slightly more than a minor feature!!!!

Looks genuine to me, full interior, inlet manifold with original inlet hose and FRP plate.
