The Ford Puma programme started in 1993 with a new 2+2 coupe design based on the Mk4 Fiesta chassis. The ‘Lynx’ concept car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996, with the production version launch following a year later. Featuring a front-engine, front-wheel-drive, and three-door coupe body with four seats, they came with 15-inch alloy wheels as standard. Braking was by front disc and rear drums. With a new engine range (co-developed with Yamaha), stiffer suspension, wider track and a close-ratio gearbox, the Thunder models were among the final 2000 examples produced.
In current family ownership since 2002, this example is one of just 1,000 manufactured in Moondust Silver (only available on the Thunder variant) complemented by the standard Midnight Black leather interior of the Thunder special editions. Acquired as an ex-demonstrator in September 2002, with an odometer reading just 4,730 miles upon purchase, the car was driven until 2010 before being dry stored following the owner’s passing. Subsequently passing into the husband’s ownership, which explains the two former keepers on the V5c, it is believed to be 1 of 537 currently registered with the DVLA. Now displaying a mere c.29,500 miles from new, it is offered with its owner’s wallet, handbook and service book.
