I've just got my small wheel based Terrano back from having a bit of welding done on the sill,as it is seventeen years old it needs a bit of TLC but it is still running well for it's age.

17 years old, that's a fair old age for one of these things. I'd be surprised to find either a Mav or Terrano to beat that. Happy for someone to prove me wrong though.

I'd get some pics up sharpish before someone asks for them...
Welcome, it's a jolly little place this.

Hi and welcome. 17 years old and still going strong. Well I too believe it is the oldest road going truck out there..........
No........ can't think of another

zippy656 · 19-05-2017, 20:53

Right.... that's it.... two names to add to my list...

Edit.... Welcome Dixie..

Welcome dixie, mine too is 17 years old and I have just replaced the sills and repaired a few other bits with the welder, rust is the only problem with these trucks, apart from the three litre or automatic ones

, it's a bit tongue in cheek on here incase you hadn't realised

Get some pics of your truck up, we like pics and you'll not hear the end of it until you do

Now I have heared rumours of a mysterious silver maverick in mint condition, supposedly over 20yrs old, information is very scarce though as the owner does not like to brag

I reckon that silver mav is photoshopped.

Welcome to the forum, hope you've got a good sense of humour, 'cos there's plenty to go around.

This also loads of help and advice.

Hello,

Mines coming up on 17 years old and still going strong

Has had a bit of TLC over the years to keep it that way.
Plenty of these older trucks around,a guy that works in the factory next to me is running an N reg as his daily drive.

jims-terrano · 19-05-2017, 23:22

Welcome aboard

just a bit of banter on here

Think mine was one of the older ones on here until it got written off. It was a great loss because we had had that truck for years but it saved my wife, if she had been in a smaller car she would of been a whole lot worse off. So these trucks pay you back for all the tlc when it counts.
