Rustics Old Maverick

Hi All, I’ve picked up a new truck today but unfortunately I’ve just got back and it’s too dark to take a photo but I reckon a number of people would recognise it since it used to be on here a couple of years ago. I’m now the custodian of Rustics old Maverick, after laying in slumber for a few years only moving for MOT each April it’s just driven nearly 100 miles without missing a beat. The battery was replaced for MOT but unfortunately was totally dead today, I’d taken a good battery with me so changed it over with my son. My son gave it two goes on the heater plugs before cranking and it fired up first crank and ran as if it had been run yesterday.
Roz got in touch with me a couple of weeks ago saying the time was right to let it go, family had thought about we buy any car .com

.

So the Mav runs again and I think it’s beautiful condition and the way it’s run today is testament to Uncle Rustic. My plans are to see what on earth all these switches and wires do, all sorts of cables left right and centre. I do not intend to modify suspension or engine intakes and I don’t intend to take it off road other than supermarket car park. The steering is a little heavy so along with a good looking over and a service it’ll be pretty much kept as is. Hopefully take a few photos in the daylight and post them up for you.
