Suzuki Jimny X-Adventure Pearl Black 2012
Freshly imported from Japan, 60,000 rust free MilesProbably the best Jimnys in the UK (if Carlsberg made Jimnys)
This may sound like a bold claim, but if you are replacing a Jimny, or have been looking at buying a Jimny, see if the ones you have looked at match up to these.
This Particular vehicle is a 2012 X-Adventure – one of the newest of these models we have had.
It is Bluish Black Pearlescent with a premium interior of X-Adventure branded black embossed leather effect seats, with matching mats.
Although we are listing this as ‘leather effect’, it is very likely they are leather, but to be on the safe side we’ll call them effect.
It has folding mirrors, with indicators built in, along with manoeuvring wing mirror.
Factory privacy glass.
Heated windscreen, heated door mirrors, and yes, heated seats.
This Jimny has 5 aftermarket black APIO wheels with white lettered A/T tyres.
It has a chrome aftermarket grill cover, with matching chrome handle surrounds.
For the X-Adventure, Suzuki did away with the roof rails in Japan.
This gave the car, to my mind, a more modern look, akin to the impending design of the Gen 4 Jimny.
Whichever design you prefer, the previous owner installed a set of Terzo roof rails – which will come with the car, and the new owns can choose to either keep or remove.
Bonus item – it has a reversing camera installed!!
We actually have two Black X-Adventures, have a look at the other one here:
There may be small age related marks on the bodywork and in the cabin, but they are small, and the most important thing is the condition of the car in general.
It will not be a tired, unloved vehicle which has begun to corrode, as so many UK examples are (we know, we’ve seen them).
Land Venture, X-Adventure, Wild Wind?
So, apart from the amazing rust free condition, and the low mileage of a car from Japan,
What have the special editions available only in the far east got to offer over and above the UK models?
well:
Folding, heated door mirrors,
Heated seats (think about that one)
Heated windscreen
Pearlescent or metallic paint
Special edition rear wheel covers
The interior trim has details on the instruments and gear stick
Fold flat rear seats (see below)
Very unique chrome branding
Often bespoke edition matching floor mats
Wind deflectors (monsoon guards) for windows down in any weather
Manoeuvring mirror on the nearside front wing
In fact, driving one of these regularly causes interest from anyone with a Jimny, as the features stand out so much from the everyday models on sale here in the UK.
The fold flat seats are an amazing (and in my opinion a deal breaker) addition over the UK models, and are incredibly useful.
This means when the rear seats are folded down, the back has a drop down fixing for creating a platform.
This makes the load area flat, so instead of an awkward step, larger items can be carried level, the most obvious being a dog crate.
We can remove the original head unit and install an aftermarket head unit, if required, and fit a DAB+-FM-GPS antenna.
It used to be standard to fit head units, but it is now an option.
This is because there are so many options, one of which is people sometimes ask for the original head unit to remain.
It would be either an Android 10 double Din touchscreen unit or an Android Auto double Din, with reversing camera,
either of which would normally include;
DAB+
Touch screen
GPS pre-loaded (Android 10)
Bluetooth handsfree
Radio
USB connectivity
And much more
We would also recommend fitting a shark fin antenna, which would give a gain of 20Db instead of the usual 2Db found on windscreen antenna.
For a full walkround of an imported Jimny, please see this video we made:
This Jimny will come with a full MOT, (seats out) valet and machine cut, polish & wax (all Meguiar’s).
This Jimny will have the option to undergo a full underbody treatment with Dinitrol* corrosion protection.
We now immediately submit all the documents for registration to the DVLA, and the V5 will be issued to us along with authorisation to order the number plates.
So anything needed which concerns the importation, there is nothing to worry about as all duties and fees will already be paid.
All you will need to do is tax it, insure it, drive it away and love it!!!
If you feel you are too far away, the last two we sold went over 400miles to their new homes.
We’ll just reiterate – if you are looking for a Jimny,
if you mean to keep it, if you want it to be packed with features not available in the UK, if you don’t want to deal with rot, rust or corrosion,
and, if you want the best example you can find,
you just did.
Any questions please contact Heidi or Micky.
*Our Dinitrol underbody treatment process:
First the chassis has wax injected into it – Dinitrol ML 3125*.
Then the chassis and wheel arches has stonechip applied, (after all the plastic inner arches are removed), using Dinitrol 445**.
And finally we use Dinitrol 4941*** underbody coating on all remaining underbody parts.
*Dinitrol ML 3125
For use in box sections & pre-application of underbody wax Capable of excellent penetration into crevices and jointsIt is very thin, so use sparingly which allows it to penetrate through rust
Dries to leave a brown, waxy, water-repellent protective film giving excellent rust protection
It is sound deadening and can be overpainted.
Does not contain aggressive solvents such as chlorinated hydrocarbons and will not attack PVC coatings.
Dries to a tough elastic waxy protective coating giving a high degree of protection
—————————————————–A further option would be to completely remove the front end, and the clear everything from the inner arches in the engine bay, and treat the front panel with 4941 product.
This gives the car an even more thorough protection from the winter months, when salt is laid down.——————————————————
Applied elsewhere, prices for this treatment would range anywhere between £600 and £1000.
