A Puma Clubman is a home built road registered high performance sports car. Conceived by John Karnon and Neville Darwin of Adelaide Australia and based on the Ron Champion book 

"Build your own sports car for as little as £250 -and race it".  

This web site is for people who want to know about Puma Clubman's or perhaps want to build one.

    This is not a kit car, most of the components for this car need to be made or sourced by the builder. Although we all have a puma chassis, each car is manufactured by the builder/owner which makes all the cars very individual and unique. The result is a personalized, extremely fast awesome handling car. 

    Puma #1and #6 have over 205kW at the rear wheels and weigh about 680kg. As a comparison an Australian V8 Supercar has about 350kW at the rears and weighs about 1350kg while a F50 Ferrari has about 340kW and weighs 1200kg.

A Puma Clubman has a Nissan SR20 Turbo with a 5 speed gearbox connected to a Borg Warner limited slip differential. The chassis is 25mm space frame with aluminum and fibreglass panels. Other components from various cars are used for the steering and brakes.

Many clubman owners in Adelaide meet every third Sunday at Burnside for our Coffee Day.  Channel 9's Moto Vision did a story on our cars on Jan 15th 2006.
