Just One LJ80V (Hardtop) Left On The Road In The UK Now!

Post by SherwoodNash » Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:05 am

Only one taxed and tested LJ80V left in the UK now, with 6 on SORN :shock:

Any of those LJ tintop owners here on the forum?

Blimey, also only 201 Samurai Sport's left on the road.... a bit crazy as there were 1,600 on the road when I bought it!
Mine isn't included in these figures but its still alive in secret ;)

Just been looking at a few cars, turns out the possibly most common SJ or Samurai (mine) is a rarer car in the UK than these...

You would probably find a load of the other SJ413s or Samurais may well be Sports as it's just whatever the dealer enters on the form when registering the vehicle upon sale. Therefore many will likely have have just written what they had been familiar with writing for years. SJ413/SJ 413 Samurai/Samurai etc..

Hmmm maybe... but the Sport wasn't built until 1990 and weren't really imported until 1991... at which point they weren't really importing as many of the Japanese ones...
If anything I imagine Sports would have been marked as other models if they were writing what they were used to...
