I think its meant to be around low 300's, but as the cars V5's don't specify "Racing edition" it impossible to be exact.

Most of us have bits of the other 200 tucked away as spares :lol:
Mine has another FRP's Alcons fitted and the rear bumper from another in the loft, with the door trims from Harry's Rallycar.
With boxes of other spares :wink:

I've put one back on the road from parts I collected up from various broken ones, it's not an original but it certainly had a lot of effort put in to it!

I was on the PP website there and it gives you a list of racing pumas that people have only seen at meets or know the car some other way and gives you a list of ones that's been written off and I get it to 71 granted there are atleast one that's not been added to that list but probably more, but I'm only taking it that there are only 71 racing pumas left.

I'd be extremely surprised if that few are left! There's probly only 71 active Frp members on the forum but that doesn't mean there arnt the cars around somewhere.

There are 2 Frps around me, both of which the owners arnt on any puma site. But the cars are still around. :)

My guess is around 350 left........
100 gone over 10 years, natural wastage..stolen...written off...blown up... raced to death
50 scrapped and sold for parts
Just a guess?

My V5 says Ford Racing Puma

Just double checked mine, just says 1.7 Ford Puma which I though all the FRP logs book say. :shock:
I do have a letter from Ford stating my chassis number is a genuine Ford Racing Puma though.

Your must be the only one...
Unless any of you lot know differently . :wink:
