On the way from Japan, just awaiting a ship to be assigned, this is a stunning example of a late model Mk3 Jimny.
It is a December 2016, so on the cusp of 2017, and is the facelift latter version, so not only has the bulge on the bonnet, but also the digital dash with the updated digital temp and petrol readout.
It has all the usual special edition features, including metal spare wheel cover, leather effect upholstery, folding mirrors, heated windscreen and heated seats.
The most amazing thing about this car is the total lack of rust, rot and corrosion found in most UK vehicles, especially 4×4’s – which is something most people like to keep that way with an underbody treatment..
This particular car has Apio Wildboar wheels wearing Dunlop Grandtrek AT5 rubber, which are a popular and expensive upgrade in Japan, and along with the pearlescent white paint [...]

The Deck Van is truly one of the most bizarre and practical automobiles found in Japan.
The Hijet from Daihatsu is the brands top selling cargo van,

It has sliding rear doors on both sides, which open to reveal either a large storage area, or flip up the floor and there is a second row of seats.
This vehicle is literally the [...]
