Suzuki Jimny Wild Wind Pearl White 2009 #1
This 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 have looked at match up to this one.
2009 Suzuki #Jimny – ‘Wild Wind’ special edition.
It has never seen salt in its life, of 69k miles, and so is in exceptional condition.
Suzuki Jimny Wild Wind
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.
Why the change to Suzukis?
The market changes over time, and the models we concentrated previously on are now few and far between.
The Suzuki Jimny has been in production since 1970, with over 2.8million being made.
2020 was the Jimnys 50th anniversary!!
The third generation, the one we have for sale, has hardly changed in many ways since 1998, simply because people loved it as it was.
But it has been steadily improved and modernised, whilst keeping an ‘old school’ feel.
It is ultra reliable, will go anywhere, is small enough to fit anywhere, but tall enough to feel safe.
The new Jimny, has been withdrawn from sale (reintroduced as a ‘lite’ commercial) so the options for Jimny ownership are this model, or the quite expensive generation 4.
So if you are going to buy one – buy a good one.
My mother has a Jimny, my daughter has a Jimny, we have a Jimny.
Wild Wind?
So, apart from the amazing rust free condition, and the low mileage, what has the Wild Wind got to offer over and above the UK models?
well:
Folding, heated door mirrors,
Heated seats (think about that one)
Heated windscreen
Pearlescent paint
Interior trim
Very unique chrome branding
Wild Wind blue floor mats
Wild Wind stitched leather effect seats
Wind deflectors/Monsoon guards
Manoeuvring mirror on the front wing
***This Jimny has a spare wheel and Land Venture branded hard, full, two piece wheel cover, but we remove them as soon as they arrive (as part of the thorough clean), and don’t put them back on until just before they are sold.This Particular vehicle is a 2009 Wild Wind
It is Pearlescent White with a premium interior of Black and Red leather effect seats – with matching floor mats.
It has folding mirrors, with indicators built in, along with manoeuvring wing mirror.
Factory privacy glass, and monsoon guards on the doors so you can drive with the window open in the rain.
It has a heated windscreen, heated door mirrors, and yes, heated seats.This Jimny has had a service by us, (new oil and air filter, with fresh oil), and will come with a service record book.
We have also given this Jimny a full underbody protection program as part of the preparation.
It has also had both the front bumper and rear bumper removed to underseal both the front panel and rear panel.It has new oil, air and oil filters.We have paid all duties, registered it with DVLA, and it has the number plates (year ’09), so it’s ready to drive away.
It has covered around 69,000 miles, all in salt free Japan.
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.
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 overwhelmingly excellent condition of the car in general.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).
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 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.
Please note, some vehicles arrive without the fold flat seats, but do still have the fixings to add them.If you have a look around on our channel, you will find at least one video featuring this car, and lots with very similar cars.
If you struggle to find them, 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).
This Jimny has already undergone a full underbody treatment with Dinitrol* corrosion protection.We now immediately submit all the documents for registration to the DVLA, and the V5 has been 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 have already been paid.
All you will need to do is tax it, insure it, drive it away and love it!!!We have started to use Atoto as our Head unit of choice.We have fitted an Atoto A6 Performance head unit with wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto.
This gives you the option to plug your phone into the connector in the glove box (where it will charge), or leave it in your pocket and it will automatically connect.
And so much more, see full details in the video.
The Jimny has a HD reversing camera – with an option to fit an integrated dash cam.
If you feel you are too far away, a lot seem to go to the top of Scotland, and are transported 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,
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 and engine bay.
*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.
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 £1200.
