Title: Santana Vit, VS Jap Vit, VS SA Vit
Post by: Evilgoat on January 14, 2008, 11:41:41

Been trawling round the scrapyards of late, specially after my cluitch pedal fell off and I think I've spotted a trend.

Every Rotbox vit I've looked at seems to be a Jap one with the Santanas being intact. Not even seen one of the American ones.

So are the Satanas better built? Anyone else spotted this?

Mine is a spainsh built model.Really the only rot seem's to be the wings..

Suzuki main dealer informed me certain parts are going to be a little more expensive than those of a jap vit..

Cheers Gav

probably a silly question but how do you know which country yours was built in?

Mine has a Santana VIN plate. 'Built by Sanata Motors'

the best way to way to see what you got is the color of the vin plate,

blue is jap

silver is Spanish

hope that helps ;)

I have got a spansh built vit and rear inner arches were none existent. Up here in stoke it seems to be the other way round in the scrap yard - the spanish ones are rotten as pears and the jap ones are solid as rocks so i guess it just depends how it has spent its life
see ya mate
