Just to bump this, I ended up buying a puma, 2002 1.7, unfortunately in red but the car was low miles and good condition and no rust.

Its great, puts a smile on my face everytime I get to a B road, always looking for the "scenic" route.
I can only recommend one, you will struggle to find a bad review of one. and there is a buyers guide in the months top gear title "future classic"

The cars themselves seem to have a few "niggles", but you don't mind them.

^^ thats the thing, 90% of the other puma owners I see are middle aged women (no offence to your mum).
Who more that likely don't use the car to its full potential.

not that fast, 7.8 I think. the normal puma is 8.5 (I haven't checked those)

however the puma I have "feels" quick, its great to drive and the handling is brilliant, the fun factor overshadows the 0-60 imo.
however I looked at the racing puma, and couldn't really justify paying the extra.

Evo magazine says something like
Ford Puma +everything -nothing, even the 1.4 is worth a look

ford racing puma +exclusivity -expense, the standard puma does it so well
