Interesting seemed very capable in the mud and terrain.
It was on Quest last night so should be available on i player.
Wouldn't have been cheap but the engineering was interesting.

They specialised in classics, I saw a lovely 'Bobby Ewing' style Merc waiting to be handed back to the owner. A nice touch was all the mechanicals that had been removed were boxed up and given back to the customer. In theory the car could be rebuilt to original spec. Apparently it's a good congestion charge beater ( for the well heeled at least). Chris

Oh, and the off-road test they did, it did sound like a kids remote control car

My thoughts exactly, they quoted £10.000 for the motor alone....but as for the handbrake it'd been easier to just fit a hydraulic system that would be more reliable than an electric connection in the mud and water.
No mention also of how they kept the air lift suspension. But it really didn't sound real did it?

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.
