This Ford Bronco XLT is an iconic American 4x4, with an appealing colour scheme and a few subtle updates. Power comes from a dynamometer-tuned 5.0-litre electronic fuel-injected small block V8, coupled to the three-speed C6 ‘SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic’ column shift automatic gearbox with high and low range settings. Its most recent service was in September 2022 at 112,678 km, by Ron Hoffman Restorations. This imposing third-generation Bronco in XLT guise is finished in burgundy, with a white roof, sills and wheel arches, as well as smart gold coachlines. It rides on a set of 15-inch five-spoke wheels, shod in Toyo A/T Open Country tyres, and there is a brand-new spare wheel attached to the rear. Inside, it features red fabric upholstery, with a matching dashboard top, door card panels, steering wheel and carpets, punctuated by elegant wood trim inserts. The cabin is also equipped with air conditioning and an aftermarket Pioneer stereo. This Bronco benefits from extractors and a stainless-steel exhaust, while the engine has been tuned on a dynamometer. Accompanying the vehicle will be its Club Registration Logbook, an American flag, its spare key, a wheel brace, a jack and a small collection of maintenance invoices. Please note, the registration ‘RSM 351’ will not be included in the sale. The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage. Its resprayed burgundy paintwork is in very good shape, with a slight blemish at the top right section of the bonnet, and light wear around the front end. Stepping inside, there is minor indentation and sagging on the seats and the driver’s back rest adjustment surround is cracked. The carpets and underlay have been replaced, though the colour is reportedly very close to the original. The headlining is beginning to sag, the dashboard is presenting with some blemishes and one of the dashboard lights is reportedly slightly dim. Its most recent service was in September 2022 at 112,678 km, where technicians at Ron Hoffman Restorations replaced the engine oil, oil filter, differential oil, transmission fluid and fuel filter, before checking the master cylinder, radiator level and brakes. Prior to this, the car was serviced in May 2021. During the seller’s 15-month ownership, the radiator, air conditioning compressor, carpets, brake master cylinder, front brake pads, injectors, spark plugs, belts, water pump, hoses, battery, fuel pump, fuel lines, exhaust and front springs have been replaced. This Ford Bronco XLT is a characterful American 4x4, with an eye-catching factory specification and a few sensible modifications. Benefitting from various mechanical replacements during the seller’s ownership, and offered fresh from a recent service, it would now make a superb retro daily driver for a classic Ford enthusiast.
