Hello there !

I'm a french fan of the blue oval, and today, I've realised my dream : To purchase a Ford Racing Puma in England ! It will be the second on the french territory !

I'll took it the 4th of September near Bristol !

I owned a mint standard 1.7l during 9 months, this is some photos :

This is my future car :

I've joined the forum in order to know better this little beast, and to share some advices and experiences with you !

Cheers !

Alex

It wasn't noticed in the e-bay section.

I think the car has a private numberplate...so it may be the 202 / 500 ex :?:

Cheers mates !

Ed, how do you know that it's the number 396 ??!! I've learn today with seller's full size photos that was the 396 / 500 ? :shock:

Congrats on your purchase, maybe you could organise a trip to Le Mans for the FRP's next year, so we can come over and see you! :)

Ed has records of nearly all FRP's owned, how many owners, the mileage when it was last for sale, maybe even the mods it has.

Thanks Lisa !

Le Mans is very far from where I live in France ! I live near Courchevel and Meribel in Savoie. But if someone want to meet me to Bristol the 4th of September, It could be cool ! :D

Alex,

You're coming into Bristol? Schedule permitting, I might be able to meet up with you as it's my home city. :)

Are you buying the car from Nathan?

You won't mind the long drive once you are in an FRP!

Unfortunately I won't be able to meet you on the 4th Sept as I am racing at Silverstone, which is a shame as I am only 30 mins from Bristol.
