For the love of mavericks

[Mobzy]

Hi Folks, had a Maverick for 12 years , had a Motson water cooled turbo fitted, 2 peddlers lift and all the good bits which made it an excellent vehicle off road. At 285 k I thought it torywas time to upgrade, bought a 100series cruiser, whilst its been a good reliable car, is not near as good off road. I got in touch with the elderly couple whom I had sold my Maverick to and asked if I could buy it back, they towed a large caravan around Aust and are in love with the old girl and intend keeping it for a trip to the cape. after looking for a couple of years for a standard low km truck with no luck a friend asked to give him a hand doing some fencing at a property he had just bought. low and behold there's a maverick sitting In one of the old sheds on the place. after we worked out who really owned it I bought it for $3000. has 273ks and is in excellent original condition, has not been running for a few years, a new battery on the 4th attemp she started and drove it home. Needs a cog for the drivers window, new windscreen, and will overhaul the brakes, not much left on the clutch. Whilst driving it home found a serious shudder in the front end. have polished up the red paint and given it a detail she has come up real neat. Will try
And post some photos once I work out how to get them off the,phone of how I found it and what looks like after a bath.
