Hi everyone. I have just bought a lovely little Vitara back off my father who bought it from me 2 years ago for 'safe keeping' until I could buy it back. Thank God I did, I missed it greatly.
Bought it as a genuine 1 old lady from new with fully documented 20,000 on the clock and 6 stamps in the service log book. There are a few bits I need for it at the moment to start making it even more beautiful.
Would love to be an active member of this forum.
I think I have attached an image of the Suzi correctly....Hope so. Would love to hear what people think.
Cheers all, hopefully chat soon.

Re: New Member here from South Wales
Thanks guys. There are a few bits that I am after in the future, but that's me being picky.
One massive question is: can I get a hard top roof to fit an existing soft top system?
I've been told in the past that I can't as It wasn't meant for a hard top to be retro fit onto it. Is this true? Any help would be great. Cheers guys.

There are fibreglass and plastic hard tops available for the Mk1 vitara... but im not sure whether they fit the mark 2 as they are slightly different IIRC

They might be adapted to fit...don't think it would be too hard to do.
