Owner Q&A

Why did you want a Ford Racing Puma?

I already thought the standard Puma was a great little car, and the Racing Puma is just that little bit more special and rare.

What is the best bargain on your FRP?

Nothing on an FRP is a bargain! I did drop lucky on a brand new set of fully built suspension though.

Have you dared to add up the total cost of the restoration?

I kept a record of every last nut and bolt so I could tell you to the penny - but in the interests of matrimonial harmony, let’s just say it’s probably not far off what the first owner paid for it new!

What would you do differently if you restored another FRP?

I wish I’d detailed the engine and engine bay whilst the engine was out of the car - but as the car was with Chris Allison, 60 miles away, and it would have held up his work, I couldn’t. That’s a job for another year.
