My girlfriend has a Puma she used as a daily for a while and I loved it, was a great drive.
It's off the road now, waiting some treatment. Going to strip it out, fit some buckets and have some fun with it.
Think the 1.7 lump is being ditched though. Fitting a 1.8 silver top as got a low mileage one sitting about. Low boost turbo conversion with a decomp plate should kick some life into it
