Description

What you are looking at is not your regular 1.7 Puma coupe. This is just one of 500 produced Ford Racing Pumas, of which around 270 remain. Please research what makes them so special, limited space in this description. This particular example, #159, has been in my care for the past 6 years, and is one of the cleanest FRPs on sale, Service history present from 2004 - 2010. The car then went into storage from 2010 - 2017, where it was run occasionally to keep things ticking over. The engine was replaced in August 2017 through no fault of the vehicle, but by the previous owner to seize an opportunity to bolster the car's value. The previous owner lost the receipt of this work, but documentation including photos and confirmation from the chair of the FRP owners club, prove a new engine was fitted by Pumabuild in Aug 2017. I acquired the car in 2018 and was still running in the new engine. Full service history since this date. This makes FRP #159 one of the FRPs with the LOWEST mileage (circa 2,500) on its engine. Full underbody, mechanical and bodywork restoration carried out at great expense, all detailed with invoices. 1 yr MOT, no advisories. Full valet carried out to interior and exterior. All electrics operate normally, heated windscreen, power mirrors etc. AC is currently not working, scheduled for repair (New pressure lines required). 4x like-new premium tyres (2x Pirelli, 2x Uniroyal rainsport 5) with excellent tread, alloys clean with no kerbing. Interior trim in immaculate condition with NO visible wear to seat bolsters or alcantara. Original Racing Puma floor mats in good condition. Sold with box of spare parts including indoor car cover, Ford racing driver and passenger Sparco seat covers. Smoke and pet free, HPI clear, 2 keys. 11 previous owners, all of which are listed by a VQ7 document, produced by the DVLA. Extensive history folder including owners guide supplement and brochure. Will go to a loving home as a meticulously cared for example. Will only continue to appreciate. *AC scheduled for repair, if purchase desired before AC fix, will be negotiable within reason* Minimal expense due and peace of mind for new owner. If it's outside of your budget then, respectfully, please move on. Test drives to verify mechanical soundness welcome for genuine buyers after deposit, proof of driver's license and valid insurance. Please enquire for more information. Next MOT due 31/05/2025, Blue, 5+ owners, £23,450
