Puma sold at Mattewsons auction for £5000 + commission

[John Woodward]

Sold in the April sale. said to be in mint condition by a previous owner. Not totally original as it has Thunder seats, but 9 spoke wheels, so may or may not be a Thunder. To me this proves the value of Puma's is definitely increasing as its a Sold price, not an advertised price.

Not really sure why it's £5k though I would really enjoy seeing the underside of it

It's MOT history showed it had needed a fair bit of welding over the years. What always amazes me is you occasionally see Mk 1 Escorts advertised as never welded, my one had the sills replaced after 3 years !

Yeah that's got to be nonsense for MK1 Escorts unless kept in some vacuum garage.

I know my Dads old MK2 Orion had to have the battery tray welded at around 10 years and that was garaged with low mileage.
