That's a lot of green I just always figured green was more used on performance stuff, but the war left over makes a lot of sense. I'd always heard the Consuls, Zephyrs, anglias, etc. we're mostly sent over here in the amounts they were as part of the repayment for lend-lease. Not sure if there...

Dang I sure appreciate all the information you've given me. I have been torn between going with BRG or a more Robin egg blue on that Consul. I just wanted to stay true to the British with it. I'm definitely leaning towards green after seeing those pics.

Unfortunately the way the world is now it's still my cheapest option for a replacement pickup. I almost traded my '11 half ton in on a 3/4 ton about 5 years ago. Sticker price on the 3/4 ton was $32k. Now 1/2 tons are well above that. My current 1/2 ton just hit 235k miles and is starting to...

Interesting. How popular was dark green on stuff in the 50's over there? Was British racing green used on non performance cars much? My Consul has no paint left at all, but there appears to be hints of dark green and a narrow double stripe of yellow offset across the top. I always figured...

I had no idea about the reverse. Very interesting.

I have since added sliding rear window and a dash cam since I ordered. I'm sure some of the stuff in here will delay me but if I'm ordering a new rig I want what I want.

Personally I'd go for steel spacers regardless of the cost of the composite ones. I put 2" steel spacers in my pickup the day after I bought it almost 12 years ago. Zero problems in all that time. Took them out last week because my struts were shot and I just went ahead and bought full leveling...

Now I'm damn glad I ordered a Bronco Sport a couple days after the Maverick. Looks like that may show up long before the Maverick.

That's a great episode.

Hit damn that's actually is a decent color on that thing.

That towing MPG isn't bad at all. Makes me even more excited to eventually get mine. My 1/2 ton Dodge with a V8 get slightly better than that everyday and gets 13-14 when towing 3-4000 lbs.

Haha!!! Plastic pig, that's hilarious. Never heard that before. I don't know a lot about them, but they are just so damn ridiculous compared to anything here that I like them. I lean towards odd ball vehicles when I can. That why I have an Edsel as well.

I'm not a Brit, I just like old British cars. I've got a '52 Ford Consul project I'm waiting to start on. Took me 9 years to find one near me. Found it sitting in a field about 100 miles from me. A buddy of mines got a bugeye sprite, a TR3A, and an XKE 2+2. All fun cars yet frustrating as hell...

British racing green would have been perfect.

I would have ordered Eruption green so fast your head would spin. We went back in five days after ordering the Maverick and ordered the wife a Bronco Sport in Eruption Green. Who knows, the way things are looking my Maverick will probably get rolled over to a '24 and maybe that'll be an option...

I agree with everything looking quite bland these days. I like a good bright silver on some things, but didn't care for it on the Maverick. Never been a red fan and cyber orange looked too yellow.

I had all intentions of ordering Area 51 when I went to the dealer. At the last second I decided on Atlas. Just figured it'd look sharp. I was mostly disappointed there was no dark green available. I've got a really dark green on my current Ram that looks black until the sun hits it just right...
