About the 1996 Suzuki Jimny

Suzuki has built Jimnys continuously since 1970, and the recipe — body-on-frame, live axles, low range — has barely changed in principle. Unlike almost everything else in the class the Jimny was designed as an off-road vehicle first and a road vehicle second, and its running gear reflects that. The Jimny is Suzuki's kei-class off-roader: a separate ladder frame, solid axles at both ends and a proper low-range transfer case, all inside kei dimensions.

Practicalities of this Jimny

Plenty of buyers keep a Jimny looking exactly as it arrived; this one is Blue and presented as we received it. This 1996 Jimny spent its working life on Japanese registration, where a light goods vehicle faces its first statutory shaken inspection at two years and another every two years after that. Price on this one is $8,789. Four-wheel drive on a Jimny was specified in Japan for field and forestry work, not for road holding.
