No but it's rather fast though!!!

Welcome, there's a couple of cheapies on ebay at the moment! A red one with front bumper damage for less than a grand that is begging for a winch bumper to replace the broken plastic one!

Hi there- I think I may have seen your posts on Northumberland RSOC site and there was a few of them came down to last year's Scotch Corner Classic Ford meet, did that site disappear?
We are near Carlisle though my daughter lived in Newcastle last year- she has the Jimny which you may well have seen, also run an X trail and an old Jago jeep which we use and abuse. Interesting bit of info is that quite a few fibre glass Jago bodies are finding their way on to old SJ chassis to give a cheap light weight rust free off roader. I suspect a Jimny would fit under one if one could be acquired for the right money;)

I was looking for a damaged jimny, mainly to save money on the purchase as said and replace with better parts.

Few about for 1k if you look.
