History
Designed by Barry Bucknell and Jack Holt about 1966 and built from a Bell Wood Working kit by an amateur builder in 1967. After a full restoration in 2005, PUFF is in pristine racing condition. This is one of very few remaining Mirror 16's, only 18 having been located world-wide. January 2008
