Can you identify this Car?

Simon Knght skarcglas@yahoo.co.uk asks of anyone can help identify his new car.

I have recently bought it and would like to know a bit more about before i start sorting it out  the vendor mentioned the name Colin Marchment as the builder and or driver and that it was active in the early 1960s

The car runs a ford sidevale engine with twin Sus it has a lovely tubular exhaust manifold and an aquaplane tappet cover , the badge on the front of
the engine cover says Puma

My intentions are to get it up and running this year for a bit of a shake down and then start a thorough refurbishment next year once i know a bit more about it . I would like to keep it fairly original with the exception of adding  a charging system to enable the odd classic trial

I have been involved in Motorcycle trials for 30 years and currently ride a modern sidecar outfit in the uk sidecar nationals and always maintained an
interest in trials cars

Any help would be very much appreciated

Sincerely
Simon Knight
