SJ vs Samurai
Cal:
Hi guys,
Sorry - it's silly question time as I know nothing about Zooks - what's the difference between a SJ and a Samurai?
If you had, say around £800 to spend would you be looking at SJs and Sammys or could that get you into Vit territory?
Which is best as a purely fun vehicle for greenlaning and Pay and Play?
Thanks :D

Ooh .... can of worms about to be opened :lol:
The Samurai is an upmarket version of the SJ. It has wider axles and arches plus a few other differences. All Sammys were 413 (1300cc engines). SJ's were available as 410 or 413 (1000 or 1300).
Both Japanese and Spanish built with differences in components.... a true minefield!!
£800 will get you into Vitara territory, no problem. Coil springs and relative ride comfort!!
The SJ's seem to be favoured by the more hardcore off roaders, but both are very capable.
Evilgoat:
The Rabbit was £375 with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax and needed a new exhaust and new soft-top. Gave her a full service too. Looked pretty sorry shape when we got her and this is her now (well before tearing the engine apart)
Cal:
Nice one - thanks guys.
Is there plenty that can be done to Vits to lift them a bit and all that sort of thing?
V8MoneyPit:
Oh yes! But expect more spending than the original cost of the vehicle ........ I'm sure you know exactly how it is :lol:
