The Ford Puma programme was initiated in 1993 when Ford discussed the possibility of developing a 2+2 Coupe based on the Mk4 Fiesta chassis. The Lynx concept car, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996, with the production car being launched at the 1997 show. All Pumas were front-engined, front-wheel-drive, three-door Coupés with four seats. They came with 15-inch alloy wheels as standard, with front disc and rear drum brakes. With new engines (co-developed with Yamaha), a new body, stiffer suspension, wider track and a close-ratio gearbox, among other changes, the Thunder models were among the final 2000 Pumas produced. Moondust Silver was only available on the Thunder.

In current family ownership since 2002, this example is one of just 1,000 manufactured in Moondust Silver 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, this Puma Thunder was driven until 2010 before going into dry storage following the owner’s passing. The Puma Thunder subsequently passed into the husband’s ownership, explaining the 2 former keepers on the V5C. Believed to be 1 of 537 currently registered with the DVLA, this example is now displaying a mere c.29,500 miles from new and is being offered with the owner’s wallet, the handbook and service book.
