(Extract taken from the Ford Puma Website)
The Ford Racing Puma (also known as the FRP) was designed and created by Ford Racing to be a limited run of just 1000 examples (500 for the UK market and 500 for Germany)
Ford Germany quickly decided against selling the Ford Racing Puma in Germany due to strong competition from other manufacturers leaving just 500 examples to be produced for the UK market only making the Ford Racing Puma one of the rarer special edition Ford models. Customers would order a standard Ford Puma and opt for the Racing Puma kit. A standard Ford Puma was then delivered to the Tickford factory in the UK where a team of specialists completed the conversion to Racing Puma specification. The Ford Racing Puma featured a modified version of the 1.7 Zetec-SE engine pushing out 153bhp. The bodywork was changed to give it wider front and rear wings, with the track increased and the rims upgraded to 17"x7.5J which housed large Alcon 4 pot callipers and discs, with disc brakes to the rear. The interior was also transformed with Sparco bucket seats finished in blue Alcantara trim, which was also used to trim the rear seats and door cards. This version was only made available in right hand drive to the UK market, with all 500 cars produced in Ford Racing Blue. Tickford Conversion Specification: , Ford Racing Blue Exterior, Alcantara Interior Trim, 5-Speed Transmission , 155 PS Engine with Variable Camshaft Timing, Wider Track Suspension, Uprated Coils Springs and Dampers, Uprated Brakes, Extended Arches, Sparco Sports Seats.

Reviews
- Paid for a gearbox issued to be fixed, was given a transmission service after holding the car for 2 weeks and been told the car was fixed, gearbox has had the same issue again less than 6 months later. I have reached out to see if the team can help and have been ignored. Real shame. Used them a few times, communication is poor, you have to chase them for any update and the work carried out has simply been a patch job and not a fix. Spent over £1k with them and am no better off than if I had just... Read More
- I’d just like to say thank you to Simon and the team at Brookspeed, for making my recent purchase a fantastic experience. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them and their amazing business. Their facilities are second to none and well worth the trip down from Bristol. Simon provided a professional and personal service throughout the whole purchasing process. So I would highly recommend Brookspeed and will be definitely using them again in the future.Thank you all ????
- What can I say Brookspeed apart from a huge huge thank you, especially to Phil in the workshop for rebuilding my Cayenne's engine so impressively but mostly to Simon King, the MD who went over and above on the attention to detail to ensure my car was safely delivered by the AA on Boxing Day, opening up especially to take delivery, for explaining all the work so I completely understood everything that needed to be done and was done with such care and expertise (see ref to Phil!), for ensuring the...

- Second time I've used Brookspeed to fix my 987 Cayman and both times they've been great. The new location is impressive, and I was able to work on my laptop in the (very grand) waiting room whilst my car was being fixed (new window regulator). Their technicians know their stuff when it comes to Porsche, and the cost was exactly as quoted, so I was a happy customer. Friendly staff too, who kept me supplied with tea and coffee. Would recommend.
- Fiting of my Porsche Sports exhaust and tequipment sports suspension was done expertly and very promptly. My 981 Cayman S now sounds and drives even better and remains a true Porsche so thanks to Stuart, Phil and Bethan and the rest of the team who are friendly and approachable so will make make me a return customer.Thanks Brookspeed!
- After many months of deliberation of looking at wheels - lowering - and suspension and many transporter forums l went to these guys for help as l was finding it all a nightmare.I had a meeting with Phil and Alex and went through the dos and don'ts and they were so helpful and certainly knew what they were talking about. So, l booked in for a service - MOT - and to change of suspension and slightly larger wheels. They and the mechanics made a really brilliant job the van looks and drives superbly... Read More
- Absolutely fantastic service. The mechatronic unit on my TT went and they were able to fix it at a much lower cost than expected and it was quicker than we thought. They talked us through every step and I felt nothing other than confidence throughout the whole experience. A special shout out to Phil who was so helpful and kind. I will be using them again!
- Following two days travelling from Spain, we arrived in Eastleigh with a serious engine problem. We found Brookspeed through Google search and arrived on their doorstep as they opened the following morning.Phil, Mike & Tom were absolutely fantastic. They did an initial inspection immediately and confirmed that we had a serious problem. Phil kindly took us to the local car hire centre and within 3 hours they had diagnosed a component failure and given us an estimate for the repairs. They kept... Read More
- Professional and Friendly from first contact throughout. Had coilovers installed by the guys, Tom asked me how I wanted it to sit and gave me lots of advice, and its fair to say I got exactly that! the van feels and looks amazing! I couldn't be happier with the service I received and will definitely be using them from now on! ????
- Had an issue with my T5 heater, completely messed up DIY fix by myself!,,,, these guys were brilliant, Dan got it sorted and now it’s perfect ???? 10/10
