my Puma was a 1.7 Zetec

I loved my Puma - one of the best cars I ever owned (possibly second to my Fiesta XR2 back in the day).

More puma love here. The most fun car I’ve ever owned. Had it 8 years. Replaced with an RX-8. Missed the puma.

Zetec is the motor type, Titanium is the trim spec.

As well as being the generation of petrol engine that came from early 90s Zetec was also a trim spec for a long while.

None of the ford diesels are Zetec units. That was a petrol only series.

Yep, Zetec (and Zetec S) may have referred to the engine originally but was a (sporty) trim level for a long time on some of their models eg. Fiesta and Focus.

Reddit is good for this sort of thing as you get so many eyes on it.

You could try r/RBI or r/PhotoshopRequest

Both of those subs have 500k+ members (which I'm guessing is slightly more than here) so if it can be done I'd say someone on there will be able to help.

I watched a Police programme the other night, they found a car just from the type of car and the colour.

Not that useful I know... unless you know a cop willing to help out, but that was a murder case.

Yeah, it certainly didn’t encourage me to drive like a granny - which is probably why my fuel consumption rarely climbed above 30/gallon.

Which is also why, after I got made redundant, I couldn’t afford the insurance, the fuel or the hefty vehicle excise tax, and had to sell it. Broke my heart. 💔😢

Could it be a B16 HTR ?

Unlikely, seeing as DVLA list that as a black VW.
