The Puma moves you closer to the higher being, as it comes standard with a "golden telephone" - the direct comms link with your chosen deity.

PS - actually, it is just what folks are calling the latest 4 cylinder common rail, ford derived engined Defender.

If you see an arm waving from a dusty green corrolla up the city rd end, pull over and let me covet.

No not me. Mine's a white one with AULRO plates. Is that that the silver one with a roof rack and roof tent?

I'll keep an eye out for a waving Defender candidate in a green Corolla.

Well I am just about 50, so shouldn't be too much longer before I fall off the perch

You'll have to fight my daughter for it though. She seems pretty keen on getting her hands on it when I kick the bucket!

The Puma tag was also used by Siddley for its aircraft engine:

I suppose we can be thankful we didn't get that.

Mine was an early 2007 PUMA, and the engine looks just like this:


Do you guys have something different?

No, I think mine is about the same, just with more plastic on the top and a different sump design .
