I'm a complicated man with simple needs: Money no object...I'd have 9 SJs.
My current 410 tin top restored.
A 413 van.
A Samurai 416 soft top.
A LWB tin top.
A LWB hard top.
A LWB Pickup.
A Samurai 416 based Scamp Rowfant.
A Samurai based Gorillaz Geep look alike, probably with 2.5 V6 Gran-Vit engine + boxes and Hilux axles.
And lastly a rat rod, based on a 410 soft top doner with completely different running gear; something that'd scare off all this demon tweeks and M-sport crap, like a Chevy small block and a rear axle from a a lorry/tractor unit.
