Hi Daryl
I live in Pretoria, and two of my sons have Pumas, 1974 and 1989 models. The Puma factory is about 40 km away.
As far as I am aware the factory is up for sale. The owners name is Jack Wijker and his mobile number is +27 72118 3470. He is now 85 years old and is looking to retire, quite a remarkable guy. The sale would include all the body shell moulds and around 15 finished and semi finished vehicles.
He is however still exporting parts to various puma clubs around the world and has sent cars to German clients recently.
I have many photos of his production facility and will forward these if of interest.
Regards
John Derbyshire
I would love another Puma.
I had one for 17 years. It was a 1974 model 1
I drove it till the floorboards showed the road.
It was initially yellow then Flipflop white.
Where can I get one now??

Hi Harriet
If you were interested in importing a new one have a look at www.pumacars.co.za and maybe try contacting Jack Wijker at the number above. He has exported cars previously. Jack also restores some of the local Pumas and may be able to source a second hand unit for you if required.
I am not sure as to Darryl's progress in purchasing the factory at this stage.
Regards
John
