Ford Racing Puma no 353 with 89600 miles

Full service history from fords and puma build with old mots and shed loads of paperwork!!


A fortune has been spent on this car to make it as mechanically sound as i could get it,who ever buys this will get a bargin in my eyes as all the common faults with frp's have been put right. DOnt let the miles put you off this car looks and drives like new you wont be dissapointed.

Number 353/500 features the usual FRP specification, with its blue Sparco seats inside (with Ford Racing and Sparco stitching), with matching blue alcantara door cards and rear seats. It has a Ford CD player and optional 6 disc changer in boot, with good speakers. Electric windows are standard, as are the electric heated mirrors, plus Air-Conditioning, which is in good order. No need to re-gas it! as its already been done. Its has also had smoked tinted windows not to dark just right.

The car is nearly standard, because only a fool would "modify" an FRP. Featuring the standard (yet incredible) Alcon Motorsport 4-piston brakes, with the new discs all round, this car outbrakes anything else Ive driven They are astonishing.

Eibach/Sachs suspension compliments the FRP, with unbeleivable handling. The turn in is razor sharp and incredibly responsive. Its the best handling FWD car in the world, better than the DC2 Integra.


The car has had a recent cam belt change and new drive shafts fitted to both sides although it only needed one, recent toyo proxys all round,discs and pads all round with uprated pads to stop brake dust getting into the pistons that are unsealed on these,new miltek stainless exhaust(producing a lovely rasp and back popping)
The engine is standard, producing 155bhp..

Due to the massive arches and bumpers on the FRP, its more prone to catching stone chips - there are a few minor ones on the car, a usual thing with an FRP. It has had some paintwork to keep it up to standard and very clean and shiney crack free.

Overall, my Racing Puma is in very good condition. The engine and mechanicals are fine,there is no crashing from suspension/bushes (although FRPs are inherantly noisey, boomy, and firm), the brakes feel brilliant, and the cambelt has been done

Factory cat 2 alarm/imobilizer with remote central locking

Selling due to buying a new car!!

Looking for 5750 ovno might take a cheaper px also

I can email anymore pictures you want taking etc.

You ask alot of questions are you interested in buying or just pulling my add to bits. The suede was horrible on the wheel i got fed up of getting sticky hands so pulled it off intending to replace before i sell as so it looks new which i will still do depending on what i get for it.

cheers

the steering wheel can be recovered, a few people have had this done using less than 1 metre of Alcantara, and is a cheaper option then buying a new one which you could either do or let the new owner know about doing smile.gif

Not a fab time to sell with the global markets the way they are unfortunately.
Best hold onto it if you can until things pick back up imo!
