Looks like a Terrano mate

[Lazy-Ferret]

Suspicious!! and a pig to insure, I guess.


Why would you bother to mention it is a 2005 Terrano on a 1994 Maveric chassis, but give no explanation as to how it got like that???

Does that make it a T3???:lol

Nope its a 1994 3.0 litre maverick with 2005 terrano body shell:lol

my guess is he nicked a 2005 terrano and put it on a 1994 maverick chassis

[stinka]

If its stolen he wouldn't be as stupid to eBay it

I reckon the 2005 was written off somehow so he swapped the body onto the mav chassis

[firebobby]

It looks like a late Terrano with a few Ford badges stuck on, but the wheels look like they have the Nissan badge..strange

[cncfabs]

The most interesting bit is the hpi report showing it as 1994 maverick and hpi clear which it clearly isnt

[96terrano]

interesting, i wonder what the reason is that it was put on a maverick chassis? surly a 2005 wouldn't rot that quick?

[terranobreakershropshire]

its called a 'ringer' !!

[(RIP) PLANK]

ringer or not it is certainly a 'LASH UP' and does it now have police interest hence the sale? if it is registered as a 1996 vehicle it wouldn't take a genius to work it out! Maybe it's not even on a 1996 chases at all, just a legit 1996 chassis number :augie

On the plus side It is pretty cheap though :thumb2

[Fez_uk]

probably just using the old chassis numbers? Would that make it cheaper to tax compared to something 05?

[firebobby]

Just asked him why it's been played with, will let you know what he says.
This just doesn't sound right:confused::confused:

[96terrano]

whats that?:nenau

[firebobby]

My 2005 VIN no starts VSKT this one starts VSKN, it's very close for a 1994 vehicle don't you think:nenau

[96terrano]

Just asked him why it's been played with
yeah, same here

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

so how do you insure a 3.0 mav which never existed in that format as group 10

when an early 2.7 tdi was a 10, my late 2.7 tdi is a 12 and as recall a 3.0 is a 14.

plus would early chassis have abs etc as my 96 didnt on SR trim.

It would be interesting to have a look at it and its log book :augie

[Lazy-Ferret]

If you go and check out it's MOT history, it had fails and advisories as long as your arm... Usual things, by all accounts, but welding, suspension links and corrosion were a major part of them.

http://motinfo.direct.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp

Enter the Reg... NIL7332

and in the second box enter... 325947952282 from the MOT cert

Says it is a 31/12/1994 Ford Maverick

On 05/09/2011

Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate

Nearside Front rear bush Tie bar/rod rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2) **DANGEROUS**

Offside Front rear bush Tie bar/rod rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2) **DANGEROUS**

Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1) **DANGEROUS**

Both main feed Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c) **DANGEROUS**

Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c) **DANGEROUS**

Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2) **DANGEROUS**

Rear Exhaust has part of the system excessively deteriorated (7.1.1a) **DANGEROUS**

Nearside Rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3) **DANGEROUS**

Offside outer sill Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.2.6) **DANGEROUS**

Front x 2 Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)

Nearside sill Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.2.6)

Fuel pipe/s corroded **DANGEROUS**


Just as a mater if interest, how can the last one be an advisory, when it actually says it is dangerous???

[Kamsin]

It had only done 24,000 miles in 2006....12 years after it was made? :augie

I think this Truck should have AVOID in big letters stamped all over it.

Also notice that its for sale a couple of months after the MOT has been passed, so there is now no come back on the tester. I have seen this scam before, they get a ropy MOT and store the car for a while then sell it so the MOT man is not held at fault.

[(RIP) PLANK]

I have just asked:

This car appears to be registered as a 1994 ford maverick, how did it come to be on this chassis? Thanks

Let's see what the answer is :thumb2

[96terrano]

I wonder if he'll give different answers to us all? :augie

[firebobby]

Well, he never got back to me, then I wasn't expecting him to.
I dare say some innocent fool will part with cash and get lumbered with it, I wonder if the Police or DVLA would be interested in it:augie:augie

[96terrano]

yup same here:rolleyes: id'e only buy it for parts, eg, putting the interior and dash in my 93 terrano:naughty:naughty

[(RIP) PLANK]

no reply to me yet either :nenau

[Kamsin]

Why is the bonnet scoop in the wrong place as well ???

[cncfabs]

Why is the bonnet scoop in the wrong place as well ???

Its a 3 litre its supposed to be like that

[(RIP) PLANK]

for a 94 mav, should it even have one? :augie

but it is in the right place for a 3.0 :thumb2

[Kamsin]

Arrrr, right :thumbs

[96terrano]

the IC's are to one side?

[wildbri]

My guess is that it is a 2005 3l that he as aquired and is using the history and paper work from a n old maveric that has been scrapped. Might have worked if he had used a Nissan instead of a Ford. B

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

so

the mot was mainly fails on chassis barring seat belt anchorages,

could say had swapped to a newer body, that would be ok ish
providing id is for chassis, but did he swap engine over too, from
a 2.7td to a 3.0tdi zd?? possiblely had 05 3.0 with chassis issues
but thats a lot of modding swapping motor over as well.

perhaps reg should be AV01DIT

[(RIP) PLANK]

or maybe the car they tested was the real 1994 mav? not this one pretending to be it! :nenau

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

appears sold, or ended at 1500

[stinka]

Probably ended early, got paranoid with all the questions

[supergnome]

At least nobody off here got it. Nightmare to insure.
