Well, here's something I never thought I'd be writing.
Due to a change in work, I have to sell my Puma Thunder. Anyone who has read my posts will know how much it has had spent on it, with all repairs and servicing done by Ford themselves. It is pretty much as standard, with nothing modified - apart from I took out the original stereo for one that would play my MP3 files from a memory stick. The original one will be included in sale as I won't need it, of course - just in case someone wants to refit it.
Current mileage: 136000.
MOT expires April 2019 - there was an advisory for the Brake Pipe corrosion but this has been replaced whilst Hanstons (my bodyshop guys) has the rear axle off.
Condition: overall, pretty good. All leather, good condition, everything working (although the A/C, which I never use, isn't very effective). It does have the new Steering Wheel that I purchased from Wild E Coyote - black with red stitching. I also replaced the Headlight Seals as one was slightly torn and it annoyed me - bought from Project Puma, of course. Paintwork will need some attention (part of my original plan for 2019) but I think that is the nature of these cars. All the underside has been undersealed by Hanstons after they did some welding a couple of years ago, so is still pretty good, I'd imagine.
Back in 2017 I added up my bills... https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=30999, which back then was £4200. I've spent a bit more since then, and always looked after the car with a view to very long-term ownership.
I'll certainly be sad to see it go, but things change, I suppose, and the changes at work have forced my hand a little bit. If someone from here is interested, I'd be happy to pass the car on for £900 and will give it a week or two before putting it on Pistonheads/Autotrader. I'd much rather it went to someone who appreciates it.
Car is in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
