This LHD example is one of just two left-hand-drive Racing Pumas constructed by Ford itself, originally as a development prototype before seeing service as a Ford Rallye Sport promotional vehicle dressed in the red, white and blue livery it still wears today. Beneath that livery sits a Super 1600 body with extended arches, carbon roof scoop, carbon front bumper and rear spoiler.
It was subsequently acquired by Alan Farmer, the owner of Pumabuild, one of the UK's most respected Racing Puma preparation specialists, who built it into the dedicated track car it is today.
The execution reflects the level of expertise. Highlights include Sparco carbon bucket seats with racing harnesses, full blue roll cage, plumbed Zafco fire suppression system, a genuine Super 1600 carbon centre panel with race switches and starter button, and carbon door cards. Huge Alcon brakes supply the stopping power, while magnesium wheels and a Quaife ATB differential elevate a car already celebrated for its handling.
This car was featured in the motoring press during Farmer's tenure and tested at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, where its performance was measured against Ford's own DORF test car. It has since been in private collection ownership.
A spares package is available including nine wheels and tyres and a gearbox. With just 4,000 miles recorded and indoor storage throughout, the Ford Rallye Sport livery remains intact and presents well.
Please note - this is a dedicated track car and will not be sold for road use.
Given the history, the preparation and the story behind it, we'd rather tell you the rest over the phone.
