Hi guys and gals

hello to all,

i am currently taking my cherished Rover BRM off the road to spend obscene amounts of money on it to get it back to showroom condition.

in the mean time, i have found a 'seen better days' ford maverick 2.4GLX LWB. It hasnt cost me alot but its got loads of life left in it and ive never owned a 4x4 before so is going to be fun for me to be spending some time in one.

Cosmetically 'brick' has seen better days but is not beyond help. a cracked rear light, a cracked rear bumper light and a couple of scratches dealt with and he will be looking the nutz.

he has done 170k miles and has mot until october and tax until feb next year, and the guy im buying it off has just started his own business and has a tow truck now so 'brick' isnt wanted. the current owner of brick has fitted a new rad and fuel pump as apperently these are common faults on these 4x4's. the 4x4 selector is in full working order and all internal electrics are working so i dont think ive done to bad really!

anyway, on the hunt for some bits and bobs, so let me know if you here of any bits going spare as i will snap em up.

cheers, simon.

p.s some pics of 'emma' the BRM and 'brick' the maverick............

and this is emma.......

she is number 258 of a total build of 795, and with only 400 or so left in existance, they are becoming very very rare.

hithere, very nice indeed to both vehicles. Youre not wrong, those are quite rare indeed although there are a couple of cherished examples round my way (Huddersfield), glad to hear you are looking after it too!

good luck with the 4x4, they are fun and to me, unusual!
