Hi.

I am looking for a Puma 110 USW (may consider CSW but not DCPU or HT) in grey or black although can be open minded for the right car.

Ideal wish list is aircon, low mileage and pretty stock.

I plan to buy in UK so that it can get undersealed and tuned before shipping to France because it saves money.

Anything you have or have seen would love to hear. Budget fairly open for the right car as its forever

Languedoc, given where you're based, have you considered Spain? Great value, have loads of basic spec Defs that you could then pop on a ferry at Santander at get spec'd to your heart's content in the UK. Importing palava will be less as it'll conform to EU standards already, and it'll be LHD to boot. Further, despite the prices they charge, being Spain it always comes with AC and normally electric Windows but it'll leave you enough in the bank to replace the rear windows with panels (speak to Bowler, they have crates of surplus items after their upgrades) and create a Utility at probably less than the UK. In almost every variant of Def I would think Spain first. The only one that seemed to be unbelievably rare and normally (Comparatively) more expensive, was the 110DC I hankered after, (as they prefer 130s), hence my buying in the UK. But for 90s, pick ups, 110SWs, etc etc, they have loads at far, far less than the UK, especially now the pound has strengthened again. Further they'll be rust free!!

The dealer you should look at, if interested, are these chaps. Useless at responding to emails, so I would recommend calling. Bon courage:
