sone nice i want it now

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

But look at it this way Jordi, you got your KJA for a good price and probably quite a bit less than what it could have been sold for, good condition SJs are going up in value as it gets harder and harder to find the good ones, especially KJAs and Long wheel base models and I bet if you we're to sell you'd want more than you paid ;)

In so many countries around the world SJs fetch really good money, its only really in the UK that £1500+ is a lot of money for one, yet it's half what you could expect to pay elsewhere for the same SJ. in Cyprus Geoff posted up about someone selling a maruti gypsy king for €3750. Good SJ prices are going up in this country.

Thats a fair point. Lunacy that i'd want to sell it though. Once i get some of this gear shifted i'll be taxing it!

A lot of people seem to want standard and original now too.

I like it and certainly think its worth the money, but i just don't think id be able to get on with the small cab, as a 6ft bloke with legs that are unproportionally long (and wonky) I just don't think there would be enough room for me in there, I have the seat fully pushed back as it is - which takes the seat further back than the roll hoop. As much as I love the look & practicality I'll just have to appreciate kja's from afar!
