Help
I've had my 1997 puma for 12 years, but it failed a recent MOT, and I'd just like to see if anyone is interested in it for spares or repair, as I'm loathe to take it to the breaker's yard, if it can go to an enthusiast instead. It drives fine, and had it been just the inner rear arches requiring welding, I would have weathered the cost, but it also requires a new fuel tank as the vent at the top of the tank has rusted. The engine, gearbox and clutch are in good shape with the car having excellent pull, cambelt and clutch were changed at 51K, brakes and exhaust are ok, and the outer bodywork is generally good, the only rust a slight bubbling on one rear outer wheel arch, and a shallow dent on passenger front wing that can probably be popped out. It has a full service history, with work done by Ford garages, and later a reputable independent garage in Lewes who quoted me approx £700 to get it through the MOT, hence my low price. I was driving it daily (40 miles per day) at the time of the MOT, and its mileage had just reached 90K. I'm now driving a Zetec sport, and although I'd love to keep the puma, I cannot justify the running of two cars. The car is currently located just a few miles from Eastbourne, and I'm around anytime until the 5th January for viewings, and weekends thereafter.
Any questions, just ask, and I'll answer as fully as I can. Please go to the links below to view images of the car.
Thank you.
