Ford Racing Puma Parts And What Has Happened
#1

There are no Ford Racing Puma parts 909 and 908 left at Daventry.
This is due to the age of the vehicle and such a low demand on parts as there is now a lot less than 500 vehicles still on the road.
Where does that leave Racing puma owners now ?
All the parts that were at daventry and are now on ebay under the name National Clearance centre but dont panic and buy all the parts i know he has lots of them so over the next few weeks prices will be a little more sensible.
There are around 100 front spliters, 150 brake discs, 4,100 wheel nuts, 150 alloy wheels, lots of body panels. Kate (Happy Kat) has a full list.
What i am tring to say is dont rush and panic buy this clearance centre has just under 1,000,000 of parts at retail price.
Over the years i have accuired lots of parts and also built up a good stock level so i am still able to support customers.
I have also made jigs so that i can reproduce all suspension parts so together we can keep the racing puma going
Whilst the parts were being moved from Daventry a few parts have been uncovered one of them was a drivers seat !!
Also be aware that the discs that are on Ebay are one side and as you may know the racing puma has a LEFT and a RIGHT hand disc.

Why can i go to a ford dealer and them order the part? if there isnt any anymore why can they still order them?
why does every one panic because one person says all the parts have ran out?! i ordered three 909 specific racing puma parts and i have received them all from a ford dealer? dont get me wrong alot is out of stock and no longer in production but this isnt everything.

im going to find out tomorrow, i am sick of this rubbish and if it carries on i am not coming on here anymore, people seem to enjoy winding each other up lol. i know a guy in the parts department who has put the stuff on ebay under national clearance centre and i am going to find out and tell you all. and if its true i will apologies, eat my words and probably sell my FRP as i certainly cant commpete with the ridiculous prices parts are selling for.
If i am right i hope people will research a little more rather than working themselves into a frenzied craze.
( btw if you havent noticed im in a mood too now)

Panic buiying is only going to do one of two things I feel:
1 - rake up the prices
2 - run out of stock
Thankfully there are people who are able to help us keep our cars on the road, be it maintenance to supplying and or making parts that fit
It is the loan owner who stands outside of any Forum who is going to suffer I feel.

national clearance centre is a FORD dealer, selling off ford's stock of parts.
( I brought a new bumper from them, and picked it up from a local ford dealer, near me. part of foray motor group)

Also you didn't answer the question about how long ago you ordered the parts?? If before end of march you would have got them.

I didnt know I had an agent
Just to set the record straight I checked Daventry for a few parts I knew were in abundance a few weeks ago and they all came back as '0 stock' and 'no longer serviced'.

i would like to apologise, this imformation is correct as "burfy boy" says there is no stock showing anymore so beleive it or not guys once its gone it is all gone!!
This means more will broke for bits and they start dissapearing off the roads.
this also means they are now classics at ten year old! lol.

it is a shame though, mainly for the people that arent on the forums and go into their local ford to get work done and then find out they cant even get brake discs or pads etc for their own cars.
i can see alot being scrapped and wrote off in the next year or two as insurance companies can now not repair them surely as they cant buy the parts from ford and wont use second hand spares off ebay etc.
sad but i think thats what will happen.

i agree, and thanks i did feel a little silly when i found out lol
it is sad but i think you got it on the dot, more will dissapear now and will only leave those who have either mint ones already or have the money to pay for the replacement parts.
