Suzuki, JIMNY, Estate, 1999, Other, 1298 (cc), 3 doors

Description

I have spent a lot of money making this Jimny work well both on and off road. In my opinion, this is about as good of an all rounder as you can get!

The upgraded 1.6 engine will take the Jimny to over at 90 on the motorway; it’s very comfortable sitting at 70. I have rebuilt all the front kingpins and balanced the tyres so there is no wobble at any speed. I have also added sound deadening under all of the carpets, deep cleaned the interior and upgraded the radio and speakers so it’s a nice place to be at motorway speeds. With the auto box, this is also a pleasure to poodle around town in.

With off road tyres, suspension lift, snorkel, locking hubs and diffs you can go almost anywhere too! I have done 5-6 pay & play days. It’s great fun and very capable. The automatic takes the stress out if things and makes it easy to let less experienced drives have a go.

I also have a front diff guard and some rear shock guards that I haven’t fitted. Plus a large box of spares worth hundreds that will go with it!

The blue looks lovely when clean or dirty and it really stands out. It is a 30 year old 4X4, so expect some marks, scratches and wear and tear. After the last MOT I had a bit of a poke around and it will need rust repair around the body mounts for the next MOT. Generally the frame is solid, with most of the rust confined to the body itself. This is the only reason for sale: I want to focus my time on other projects. I think it would be worth north of £5k with the rust fixed.

This is a private sale, sold as seen, all viewings and inspections welcome
