So there is a fair amount of sentimental value attached to this little SJ, it’s the car I learned to drive in as a small kid (offroad) and has seen many an adventure. Sadly, though after the passing of a family member it was parked up under a leaky, leafy pagoda, and is now in completely sorry state.
The car ran when it was parked up (at least a decade ago) but it smoked heavily and was in need of work back then, from what I can recall the water pump needed replacement, and there were probably a bunch of other things which needed doing too – it wasn’t in a great state cosmetically either even then.
After many years of ivy and rain, the body is rusted more or less everywhere, the window is cracked, the sunroof “sealed” with duck tape. Interior is mouldy in places. Three of the wheels are good though, held air for 10 years. The spare and front seem shot. Chassis appears rust free. And if I can recall correctly the odo reads 17k (whether this is 117k or just not accurate I’m afraid I have no idea).
I would love to think the car would be repaired, or rather used as the base for a project. And so if anyone wants it, even just for spares, it’s free if you come and collect it (it’ll need a trailer) and we live near Henley-on-Thames.
Any questions or additional photos just let me know. |
