Does anybody know how many exactly are left of these ?
Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:09 pm
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.
Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:36 pm
Thats what I heard aswell. Still plenty left out of the 500 that were made yet If there are 300 left
Mon Oct 17, 2011 7:02 pm
Most of us have bits of the other 200 tucked away as spares
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

I would say around 250 the same number as mine.

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!
Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:48 pm
or.....perhaps....254...the same number as mine!
I AM NOT A NUMBER I'M A FRP MAN....
Apologies to those not 100 years old, that was similar to famous phrase in a popular TV program which started with a high spped run through London in a Lotus 7....Now,where are my tablets...what am I looking for?

That would be Patrick McGoohan (He says showing he equally ancient age)
Also the introduction to a song by Iron Maiden of the same name and the series . Ha Ha ha ha ha

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.
Fri Oct 21, 2011 3:03 pm
Cool, do you know the frp numbers from the two cars ?
Fri Oct 21, 2011 4:12 pm
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.
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 .
Sat Oct 22, 2011 10:59 pm
mine also say
ford racing puma on the v5. unless the new log books have changed its the first thing i checked when got the car, and checked when i got it when i got it back from having the new reg put on.
Mon Oct 24, 2011 12:43 pm
My V5 doesnt say racing on it. Did you buy it recently? because i see the V5's have changed to red ones now.
Nice reg plate as well.
Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:06 pm
