Jimny van insurance was created by Teds Jimny
Hello, does anyone know whether a suzuki jimny could ever be classed as a 'van' for taxation purposes? I've have read that 'vans' can't have rear windows nor seats? But there are exceptions, could I unbolt the rear seats? Has anyone looked into van insurance for jimnys?

well im not too sure, i was hoping someone may know how? and because insurance would be far cheaper if it was classed as a van, im 17 and the standard car insurance is ludacris.

oh right, well my friend was looking at insurance for this short wheel base defender without rear windows and it would be £1000 on van insurance, or £10,000 as a car and hes 17 too, so i thought it may be similar for Jimnys.
