on the subject of racing pumas, more and more i see are not being looked after considering they are reasonably rare and collectable
i think a lot of them are quite rough in the flesh

Looks crap with no sat nav. The dash material looks a bit weird, very shiney. Must be an early one.

i think the racing puma is special
massive arches, stunning colour ( if you ignore the rust on it now days)
4 pots, lsd, recaros, and a nice revving engine
sounds perfect.
the engine is perfect for it too imo. foot planted on back roads
