Not an owner yet, but some questions please:)
Right then honey monsters, i'm looking for a 90 hardtop but for the specifications i want i simply cant afford. So the questions are :

1. On a puma can i put 3 seats legally in the front?

2. Can I retro fit air con? I know i can get all the bits for the heated seats with correct switches etc but can air con be added?

3. I'm sure its been asked but i cant find, what are the legalities of having side facing seats in a hardtop. I've heard conflicting stories saying yes if it is before a certain age.

Thats all for now Smile

The answers to questions 1) and 3) are no, not on a Puma.

Hi Maximus iV

There was a huge thread on the Series One Club Forum but basically refer to the DVLA article below for the defacto regs re seatbelts and children
