If you find a well maintained, rust free 1.7 for a grand, I'll take it in a heartbeat. There was a Puma Racing local to me for a few years (garaged and rarely out), but it sounded great when he opened the taps - little could keep with it in the twisties - a very underrated car indeed !
Was a black one on Donedeal for €450 a few weeks back in Wexford.

Rust free (Has had 2 tiny patches on the floor but properly done!) Rear Arches/Sills are perfect!

Off the road for 3 years so needs tyres/service etc... Also needs a steering rack.


I bought it for €300.
