Nice one! I had a LHD one some years ago, the one where you could unbolt the doors and windscreen etc Just was rotten as a pear!

This is the wife's one....an O2 Jimny, not bad , but never get much of a look in.............probably not a bad thing:whistle:

Since these were taken it has had chrome side bars, chrome rear bar and chrome roll bar fitted.

Not bad for my camera phone eh!

Great pics Stamford. Bit more modern than mine!!!
SJ's are ok, but as normal two seperate makes. Japanese & Spanish. Mine being Spanish & between them totally different electrics & fittings....real pain.........still great fun though. May just keep it for another year......or summer!!!!!

they are both pretty cool, would be good having the soft top in the summer certainly!

a second car would be good but then with only owning one car i get the pleasure of being able to drive it all the time :D

I much prefer the SJ to the other one, but a little 'lick of paint' on the bull bars wouldn't go amiss. :)

My missus loves her Jimny, just right for her as she is a town girl! I have used it off road and it is very able! Crap on long runs though, it is screaming out for another gear when cruising. Easy to work on as there is very little in it!

Hi & welcome. Yeah, SJ is getting to it's last days. May get another summer out of it. Not too bad on fuel............compared to the ZS!!!!
