Welcome to my advert, I've owned this car since January 2009. I now feel the time is right to part with it for something with a little bit more space for two reasons; I do a lot of driving for work so would like a Diesel for this task and secondly our buggy doesn't fit in my boot which makes it quite awkward if our Fiesta is out and I need to go out with our little girl.
HPI Clear, cosmetically this car is in better condition than some for it's age with only the usual stones chips, no dents or noticeable scratches. There's very little rust compared to some others I've seen too.
Members on here will actually vouch for this as it won ProjectPuma best car in show only last month.
I've taken the car to numerous shows and meets around the Country.
It's in mostly original condition, standard stereo, Racing Puma floor mats, standard wheels. The only noticeable modifications are the Miltek tailpipe, alcantara gear and handbrake gaiters and the smoked side repeaters which I prefer over the standard orange.
The car has a TOAD alarm which was fitted by a previous owner and does work, to be honest I'd take this out if I were keeping it as it's not very well fitted into the car.
The car starts first time every time and always has throughout my ownership. The two tyres have a reasonable tread on them and the front two are on the wear markers, the whole interior is in great condition with no tears and I had tailor made seat covers produced which I'd say look like they came from the factory. This has only been to protect these seats as I use the car for commuting to work.
During my ownership I've had a lot of parts replaced including the cambelt, inlet manifold gasket, head gasket, thermostat, both thermostat seals, water pump, both camshaft seals, crankshaft seal, aux belt, lower arm bolts, exhaust manifold (2nd hand), exhaust cat back (2nd hand), front arb bushes, rear axle bushes, front wheel bearings, lambda sensor, heater control valve, all four suspension top mounts, both rear ABS sensors including the wiring. Before my ownership in 2008 it also had a clutch and slave kit from Pumabuild.
The brakes were serviced in September 2009 by Chris (eldude) which included a full strip clean and rebuild, new bridge pipe, new Textar pads and new Alcon Discs.
I'd be pricing this car at £5000 if it wasn't without fault, however since I'm very honest the car does have a couple of problems. Since I've had it it's used more oil than it should, I've just always checked the level every week and topped up as required. The engine is noisier than it should be, I'm not sure what it is but I thought I'd mention it. The front left brake has a sticky piston causing pad to disk contact so the brakes require a strip and clean which I've been meaning to see Chris (eldude) about. Something in the exhaust is rattling. The passenger side Window is slow. For these faults I'm taking £1200 off of the asking price.
I have some brand new 30mm spacers with the correct bolts which I had intended to fit which I will include, also I have two original tailpipes should you want to get the tip welded for that more original look.
I will add some pictures shortly however there's so many around the site that you'll be spoilt for choice!
If you have any questions at all then please don't hesitate to contact me through PM or email (matt@projectpuma.com)
I'm always around so you'll have prompt answers to questions.

Note: the private plate is not included since it's quite person specific. It will be put back on a DVLA assigned plate.
