The Ford Bronco is one of those iconic models that had stood the test of time. It is so iconic that Ford has just bought the name back for their ’22 model Bronco. This Bronco has been in the UK for at least 10 years now and it has just been pulled out of the barn for the first time in nearly a decade.
With a bit of love, this car will be a great modern classic truck that people will always turn to look at as it goes past.
If you look at any American car from this time, they usually have some very wacky interiors, this Bronco is no different. Finished in burgundy with some rather tasteful wooden accents it is a nice interior to sit in and watch the miles tick by.
The seats are actually in good condition, the burgundy cloth seats are all presented with no major rips, tears, or stains to the material. There may be a bit of age related wear and tear in the form of some fabric sagging, but on the whole, all four of the seats are in good condition and ready for you to hop on up.
To match the burgundy seat covers the carpets, trim, and headliner are also finished in this vibrant colour. These are presented in good condition too, you may wish to give it a bit of clean to bring it back to life, especially around the steering wheel area. The interior of this car appears to be nice and dry, so it may have been stored properly as it is void of any nasty big patches of mold or dampness.
An area that may need a bit of work, to begin with, is the boot lid, the stay isn’t present, so you have to keep it open with a pole. But this shouldn’t be a turn-off just because the rest of the interior appears to be presented in nice condition.
Moving back to the front there are a couple of nice features that should be pointed out. Just above the rear view mirror, you will find the panel that controls the 4x4 system and the low range box, these weren’t tested on the day of the photos, however. Another nice feature is the wooden inlays in the dash, they break up the burgundy and add a bit of class to an otherwise rugged interior.
Overall, the interior is in good condition and shouldn’t need too much work to get it back to very clean condition.
Sharing design queues with the original boxy Bronco, this curvier example might need a bit of exterior work, but it will look great when it has been bought up to your standard. There aren’t many of these on the UK roads so you will be entering into an exclusive club.
Originally this truck was supplied in red, but with the interior also being the same colour this might have been a bit too much red, so someone has painted the exterior in the Olive Drab Green. If you restore it you may wish to change this colour, but it does suit it.
There’s no getting around the fact that the exterior has been affected by corrosion, it is worse in some areas than others, but underneath the chassis appears to be okay from a quick visual inspection. Once you have cut out the affected areas the body should be nice and strong.
The exterior does look like it is mainly original, with no nasty aftermarket parts being fitted in the past 30 odd years. This does leave you with the chance to add your own exterior improvements, but we’ll leave the imagination to you.
Overall, the exterior of this Bronco could do with some work, but it will be a great truck when you get it all finished and bought up to Concours condition.
From the start, the Bronco was built to be tough, and tough it was. This example is a testament to this nature as although it had sat in the barn for a decade it required very little work to get it up and running again.
On the day of the photos, it took a small jump start, which can be rectified with a new battery, but after this, it sat there and idled nicely with no undue hunting of revs. This should be an encouraging sign that the mechanical elements are still in okay condition.
It was required to shift around every so often and it did this with ease, slipping into first and reverse on a couple of occasions. You may wish to give it a full service just so you can build some confidence with the mechanicals, but it should hopefully be a nice running truck for you.
You may find throughout the work that other ancillary parts may need changing, but as a blank canvas to start with this Bronco is in okay mechanical condition.
This Bronco has immense potential, when you have spent some time and money on a restoration it will be a rare car to find in the UK and one that people will always enjoy seeing.
If you are looking for a project to keep you busy over the autumn and winter months that you can display at some car shows next summer then this should be at the top of your list.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
