The Ford Racing Puma was introduced in 1997, as a high-performance version of the popular Puma coupe, designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering team. This compact sports car is renowned for its agile handling, spirited performance, and striking design elements, making it an instant classic among enthusiasts. Powered by a 1.7-litre inline-four engine, the Racing Puma delivers around 153bhp, boasting a sporty 0-60 mph time of approximately 7.2 seconds. The car features a lightweight chassis, sport-tuned suspension, and distinct styling cues that set it apart from its standard counterpart, including a unique wide bodykit.

Here we have an absolutely stunning example of the Ford Racing Puma, with a remarkable provenance that sets it apart from the rest. This particular vehicle was initially owned by a Ford director for its first two years, then in April 2002, the car transitioned to a Mr Kissionerghis in Colchester, who would keep the car for 14 years during in which the covered less than 20,000 miles, with 14 service stamps to show for it during his tenure. Following this meticulous care, which included storing the car dry since 2013, it was sold in 2016 to a dedicated Ford collector after receiving a comprehensive service, including a cambelt and water pump replacement. The current owner acquired the vehicle in 2019 at 36,228 miles, and it has since only accrued an additional 186 miles, remaining in excellent condition as part of an impressive and varied collection, always pampered and stored in a bubble.

We are advised the car will be presented for a fresh MoT and an oil service prior to the auction, ensuring it's ready to be enjoyed right away. Additional highlights include a spare new steering wheel, an original Ford brochure, a numbered Tickford owner's guide supplement, a square meter piece of the coveted blue Alcantara cloth, and a complete book pack housed in the original Ford wallet. Don't miss your chance to own this cherished fast Ford, which is a sure fire future classic, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike! Consigned by Fraser Smith
