Jimny 2012 X-Adventure facelift Pearl White
Facelift model with bonnet bulgeThis is probably the best Jimny in the UK!
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’ve looked at match up to this one.
This Particular vehicle is a 2012 X-Adventure facelift.
In 2012 Suzuki launched quite a change to the look of the Jimny, which was quite major for a car which had changed so little in over 40 years.
The entire front end was changed.
The bonnet was redesigned into a clam-shell, and also received an aggressive bonnet scoop
The reworked grille and bumper gave the front end a more angular design, maybe a sign of things to come in the Gen 4 Jimny.
Cars from Japan
We have been importing specialist vehicles from Japan for over 15 years.
Originally we traded as Mitsu UK (hence the eBay account name), we have always bought the highest grade of the best selling, most reliable models made in Japan.
We started off with Pajero’s and later onto Mx5’s, both of which were legendary in their popularity and build quality.
Always choosing special editions not available elsewhere in the world, our cars are not comparable with the competition.
As most people know, Japan don’t salt their roads and the transport system, combined with congestion means the low mileage and superb condition of Japanese imported cars , as long as they are chosen carefully, is quite unbelievable.
Japan also has a very high standard when it comes to ongoing repairs and general upkeep, and their MOT or Shaken is both expensive and scrupulously thorough.
Jimny from Japan
The Jimny was first launched in 1970, and with more than 3 million being sold in over 90 countries, it was about time Suzuki celebrated such a popular 4×4.
This Jimny is Pearlescent White, with a premium interior of Black leather effect seats, trimmed with red, with matching X-Adventure mats.
This special edition featured a tie in with Salomon, the outdoor brand, and has branding on the seats, mats and rear wheel cover – the rear wheel cover is constructed from a premium metal,
It has folding mirrors, with indicators built in, along with manoeuvring wing mirror.
Factory privacy glass, and monsoon guards on the windows so you can drive with the window open in the rain.
It has a heated windscreen, heated door mirrors, and yes, heated seats.
The cars we source are all in excellent condition, but this one is literally superb.
This Jimny will have had a service by us, (new oil and air filter, with fresh oil)
The head unit in all the Jimnys we buy is generally a good one, but is usually 10+ years old, outdated and in Japanese.
They can remain, often they have a CD player, SD card slot and can recieve radio 2.
They don’t have bluetooth handsfree, satnav, DAB or Android Auto/Apple carplay.
So, AS AN OPTION, we usually remove and replace the head unit.
We generally the head with an Atoto head unit, along with rear camera and integrated dashcam.
The unit is an A6, which is a double din touch screen, with Android Auto and Apple Carplay.
We have featured this extensively in a youtube video.

We also have the facilities to offer this Jimny a full underbody protection program as an optional extra.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS.
It’s an option, but really is a must, especially if you’ve been trying to source a Jimny, but wanted to avoid the ones with corrosion.
During the process, the car would have the front end removed (bumper, headlights, inner arches etc) along with the rear bumper, to underseal both the front panel and rear panel.
We have documented the process with photos and video of previous vehicles before, during and after as we go along.
(Ask for images for the underbody treatment, and the underside condition before and after, or look on our site/YouTube channel).
We have fitted a new speedo face to incorporate MPH, but it will always clock the distance covered in KM on the odometer for continuity.
Please remember, although we can deliver this vehicle to you anywhere in the country, and inspection and test drive is more than welcome, (by appointment).
We more than welcome viewings, and third party inspections.
The last car we sold had an AA inspection at 13:30, and we had a deposit by 14:00!!
The majority of Jimny’s we sell, the new owner doesn’t see it until it arrives.
We can arrange delivery to you anywhere, or you can drive to us, we will collect you from the station, and it isn’t uncommon for new owners to fly to us.
Land Venture, X-Adventure, Wild Wind?
These are the models on sale in Japan, which the rest of the world don’t get to see.
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, usually all or most of the following:
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 models on sale here in the UK.
If you have a look around on our channel, you will find videos featuring very similar cars.
If you struggle to find the channel or website, get in touch and we will point you in the right direction.
This Jimny comes with a long MOT, valet and machine cut, polish & wax (all Meguiar’s).
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, it’s highly unlikely you will be further away than many of our previous customers.
We regularly ship to the South Coast, the West Country, South Wales and a lot go well into the Highlands 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,
If you don’t mind standing out amongst UK Jimnys,
and, if you want the best example you can find,
you just did.

*Our Dinitrol underbody treatment process:
First the chassis rails have wax injected into them – Dinitrol ML 3125*.
Then the chassis rails and wheel arches have 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.
Then we move onto the front panel.
*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
**Dinitrol 445 Black polymer based, permanently elastic anti-stone chip product,which protects against corrosion.
It is sound deadening and can be overpainted.
Does not contain aggressive solvents such as chlorinated hydrocarbons and will not attack PVC coatings.
*** Dinitrol 4941
Dries to a tough elastic waxy protective coating giving a high degree of protection——————————————————Applied elsewhere, prices for this treatment would range anywhere between £600 and £1200 – and most likely the front and rear of the car won’t be removed..
We have a number of other Jimnys, different editions, colours, prices and ages which can be found on the rest of this site.
Any questions please contact Heidi or Micky.
