Hello! I'm Michael from Manchester, UK
I recently saw on the market a Bronco in mint condition, and this car caught my attention. So, I've decided to join this forum.
I'm a big car enthusiast and have different car models. But now I'm thinking of getting that Bronco.

Probably find it is a little bit wider than most options there in the UK, but it makes up for that with a very good turning radius. Is the one you have spotted a 2 door or a 4 door? any information about what model and options it might have?

This thing is good on road but really shines off road. Do you have opportunities to get off road?

As @5GENIDN stated, they're not small and I've driven in England before, lots of tight spots. If you can deal with that and 20ish mpg's I say go for it.

Of course, I mean 2 doors. 4 doors are pretty wide, I know. But 2-doors can perfectly fit in Manchester and you and you have a lot of space to bring something with you.

And where exactly in England? Because many people mean London and the small villages around it. Which are pretty narrowed even if you are on a bike.

Welcome Michael. 2 doors is the way! But they are the same width as the 4 door but shorter in length.

 

[MichaelCar001]

Thanks for the warm welcome.
The width is more or less OK. But the length is the biggest concern.

I did 24 years active duty Navy, was stationed in both Italy and Germany so traveled most of mainland Europe while I was there. Last trip I made was some years ago but flew into Brussels, chunneled to London and then out to the Cornwall area and back around London. Never went as far north as Manchester so I guess I can't really speak to what your roads are out there but even some back country roads here in the States my Bronco takes it up.

I still 100% would grab one if I still lived over there, not really much bigger than a Defender or a G-wagen.

I spent some time in England about 40 years ago. Went from London to Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, down to Ipswich and then over to Cambridge then back down to London. Was driving a Ford Fiesta with a 1 liter motor and a 5 speed paddle. I remember driving on the M1 scared the crap out of me. The 1 liter motor could barely get out of it's own way yet alone the much bigger and faster cars. It was good though for getting in tight spaces!

A Bronco in the UK--not only a lot of fun, but what an attention getter! I once saw an article where Britons ran their LR Defenders through various obstacles in a competition. They'd be observed timed, and rated on their technique, get a ticket punched, then move on to the next obstacle (water, logs, mounds, ditches, mud--all prepared and (facetious English accent here) oh, so very civilized! It would be fun to watch a Bronco with Sasquatch lift enter that.

Any chance you could get one with right-hand drive? Maybe a specialty shop, but oh, the costs!
Any places for serious off-roading there? Wales, Scotland?
