My missus desperately wants to make a birthday cake with a suzuki on top so looking for a toy zook.

So we would like to buy or borrow one. (white one preferably)

Any ideas where to get one folks?

Thanks Geoff

Thanks Jordi - that was the first place I searched - but to no avail :-( There are plenty on .com (the US site) they are $3-4 but you get stung on postage might do that if I am stuck tho.

no it is one of my own resin and metal models in approx 1/43rd scale.
i make and sell bespoke military models in 1/72 scale made from my own masters and moulds, i make models like these:-

but i sell them unpainted and a fellow modeler painted this one for me.
i will be selling the vitara's unmade and maybe made and painted like owners vehicles once i have made all the moulds and done a few test casts.
there will be 2 versions a hard top and a pick up converted from a soft top like my own real one.
we have a webshop
http://sandsmodelsshop.com/
and a facebook page:-

thanks

How about these? I make them for friends. You can sometimes find toy SJ's in charity shops.

And that Vitara looks amazing!
