Help
Priced at £3950 ono.
The cheapest straight car on the net by far!
Sadly I bought it as a small project but I simply don't have the time at the moment.
I really don't want to sell if i'm honest. This is my second Racing Puma and they are such infectious cars.
It's on 92k. I'm the 4th owner, everyone before me owned it for quite a few years. The original owner paid £24,000 including a T1 Grade Cobra alarm and personal plate: P17 FRP. This is included in the sale and valued around £350-£500.
Nearly new front calipers rrl of £600+ fitting and has new pads. The calipers still have the stickers on them.
Disks are just over a year old and I do roughly 4,000 miles per year so as you can imagine they are almost like new thickness wise.
Brand new OE backbox fitted less than 4 weeks again. All sealed up using a prototype metal sealant to protect from the elements.
Full recent service and 4x new top strut mounts Ford OEM. Also fitted brand new gearbox dogbone mount as the rubber had slight perished. (Read fussy)
4x brand new wheel centre caps, very rare and cost me £60. 2x new Ford Racing badges on the 1/4 glasses. Cost of £50, these cannot be bought anymore either.
30mm rear axle "press" spacers. Another item I had specially made for the car using a solid block of aluminium. Fitted using 8x high tensile, 10.9 grade bolts from Ford. These really do transform the car.
So much more planted and stable. And the looks improved 10 fold on the rear where the wheels can sit in as standard.
2 new rear axle bushes from Ford also fitted at the same time. Common issue.
Tyres around 6 months old. Wheels have been refurbished in perfect Silver. I work as an assessor in a bodyshop so all my cars i'm very very picky with.
Interior is pretty much perfect, all original, no tears on the alcantara steering wheel or seats. Drivers seat has been protected with a very rare seat cover since I bought the car.
The seat cover was actually made using an Frp seat so it's built for the car.
I'm also a detailer. If you want to see any examples of my work ask away. Gives you an idea of how well looked after the car is.
Now the bad points, or me being a tad fussy. It has some rust bubbling on both rear 1/4s. I can notice it but most others actually don't. Very easy fix as it's not even that bad but nice to be honest.
Stone chipping lightly on the bonnet but at the age of the car it's quite clean, front bumper isn't that bad for the type of wide car it is. May be a parking dent on the driver 1/4 panel but it's 5p size so hard to see.
It's a very honest original car and I won't bullshit you if you have any questions. It's completely HPI clear.
It's run perfect uses no oil or water and the gearbox is simply a work of art.
Pictures will follow along with an indepth advert. Just to give you an idea of the level my cars are detailed and looked after here is my last Frp when it went up for sale.

#160 is actually tighter mechanically and the interior is perfect and oe which is very important.
