In answer to Nick

£16k for a Jimny as opposed to £100k+ for a Disco V8.

As it is Arif then Suzuki and probably providing it FOC for him.

... and quite likely bought something that would be outperformed by the Jimny! Horses for courses!

I’ve heard they’re not the greatest drive. But they do look the part.

I absolutely love it, go anywhere 4x4 with ladder frame chassis- 20k including VAT and all on the 2nd hand market retailing for 25k plus. I'll keep it for a while and when I'm ready to part with it I'll get my money back or potentially more.

I think I might have stumbled upon my perfect set of cars:

2020 VW Caravelle 4motion with all the toys - the luxurious 4 wheel drive executive van with all the toys for family stuff
Suzuki Jimny LCV - go anywhere little 4x4
Suzuki Ignis SZ5 Allgrip - lovely small SUV city car
991.1 Turbo S with all the toys - devastatingly fast 0-60 in less than 3s

Really enjoying this set of vehicles.
