The more time I've spent looking at this, the more I'm leaning towards doing the auto conversion to a Puma 2.2/2.4
Does anyone have any advice with regards to this route?
It looks like Ashcroft ... |

No - nothing worth mentioning.
Powerful UK mentioned (1.5 years ago) wanting to do some bits to organise the cargo area of the 90 HT but nothing, as yet, has come from that.
I've seen a few cr ... |

I guess Motorway, like many of these online portals, is luck of the draw.
I’ve had three goes at Motorway, two with company cars I wanted to let go of and one my own personal vehicle. All were de ... |

| Try it out - in my experience Motorway is exactly as Jerry described it, with the added bonus of dodgy dealers bidding on your car and then not even following through with the purchase. |

Hi James, didn’t like the particular 90, not the M57 swap.
I’d liked the engine and trans, it was the actual vehicle which was a mess. |

Not sure Tommy, prices seem all over the place!
I'd pay a fair price for a good 90. |

Other than reading the older threads on here, I'm wondering whether those who have done an auto conversion (with or without an engine change) have any advice for the ideal base 90 vehicle?

Looking to purchase a 90 with an auto conversion. Happy to consider one with an engine swap as well.
I recently looked at a TD5 with an M57 and auto conversion but that particular 90 wasn't for me ... |

I know the rear door pocket is quite slim and not deep but has anyone had any luck finding a pouch(es) or slim organiser bag that slots into the pocket.
I've measured it up and have started to narr ... |

Any thoughts from past owners on here, would you go back to the old version?
Ignoring finances and purely on drive, convenience, safety, warranty, reliability, I wouldn't go back to a Puma unless ... |
