Colin McRae in a Ford Puma S1600?!

Who remembers that time Colin McRae came out to rally in a Ford Puma S1600?? This was on the 2001 Speyside Stages where he ran as the Course car, attending the event to support the ladder of opportunity crews on the event that weekend. It's safe to say he looked at home in the car!

I met McRae at a Puma S1600 test day in Wales when we were asked to go along and test the car with Ford hopefuls. I bought a road version Racing Puma soon after. Patrick Magaud was there along with Martin Rowe. McRae turned up and gave some advice and kind words. We appeared in the 2000 Ford Racing Calendar along with McRae, Sainz and Co. I was navigating a KA! For Ian Forgan.

I still love the scream of an S1600 loved the puma & Colin so this is pretty much a win video for me!!

for me this is the most beautiful rally car ever.

A least the car looked like something you could buy from you local dealer.

Especially in racing puma guise although they were in limited numbers.

2 words can describe the body of this car and be interrupted in a good light or a bad light: swoopy arcs.
