(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.

- Many thanks to the wonderful team. On a trip a long way from home my alternator packed up. These guys fitted me in and I was back on the road the next day. Professional and friendly team. Had a couple of choices for garages in the area, so glad I chose Brookspeed. I can’t thank you enough. https://maps.app.goo.gl/XJYbo5KEN6XHY1jC7

- Wow. What a day. Came down to continue the hunt for a new car and worth the long journey. Really hospitable people. Simon and Ian showed me round their well sorted operation which includes a showroom, servicing and MOT bays. Really made to feel at home and comfortable as I asked hundreds of questions and inspected several cars. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a new car or to maintain their current car to give these guys a shout.
- For the two years of Covid, Brookspeed serviced & maintained our 2016 BMW 218SE Convertible. On each occasion, Martin collected the car from us in Ocean Village, drove it to Chandlersford and brought it back that evening MoT'd and serviced (and cleaned!).When we decided, a month ago, to give up driving, Martin offered to sell the car for us. He picked it up, did all (and I mean all) the paperwork including advertising online and now (less than four weeks later) Brookspeed have sold the car a... Read More
- A BIG thank you to Rob and all the staff at Brookspeed. I can`t thank them enough, I got 5 star plus service from them all. I sold my car using their sale or return service, I got an excellent price for my car. I also used them to get a full service on my Porsche, that also was excellent. I would highly recommend their service`s to anyone. I will definitely use them again. Many thanks Mike Bailey.
- Extremely professional and friendly! Really quick turnaround on everything too, I cannot thank Lisa and the team enough!
- This garage is absolutely amazing and have always given me honest advice, looked after my Audi's and I wouldn't go anywhere else now! Lovely people!
- Excellent service department run by true knowledgeable enthusiast's, you can now buy your next used Porsche there too.
- Great service for MOT and annual service for my much loved Boxster S. I had an issue with the battery a while back and they advised over the phone before dispatching a technician to my home to resolve the issue. Took a donation only for their efforts - fantastic service and I thoroughly recommend for anyone who loves their car. They will too!
