Barn find - identification help.

Post by jHolt2 » Tue Jun 25, 2024 3:45 pm

Hello there all.

I wonder if you could help me please - I have a barn find, which I have already decided to buy, but I can't seem to locate the specific model. Its a 1993 L reg - but the graphic kit seems to suggest its not a common one.

Bit more detail, though unlike to help identify, so more for interest - 18000 miles. one owner. Original treys, hard top, bull bar - perfect condition, gave £4000.

Anyway, any help on what model this is would be most appreciated please.

N.B - I am new to this, to which end I have written this before I knew how to upload a pic, which appears trickier than I expected - so I will post this now and follow up with a pic... hopefully

Jon

Could be anything.

Almost every suzuki dealer did their own limited edition version of a vitara with different wheels and different stickers.

I had a 2018 GV which was an “Urban 4” a one off demo my local dealer did on 20” wheels, sticker kit, tinted windows, colour coded spare wheel cover, chrome trim kit.

“Fat boy” vitaras were common versions of the early vits, 10” wide wheels, wheel arch kit, random stand out sticker kit.

Ultimately, sticker kit on any vitara, of any age usually means absolutely nothing about its spec.
1988 Samurai - Truck Cab & Tray Back - 1.6 8v & HIF44 - Snorkel - Stack Exhaust - PAS, YJs & 33s - Trussed, Gusseted & Pumpkin Capped Axles - 4.3 R&Ps - 4.16 T/Box - Rear Air Locker - Full Float Back Axle & Discs - RCV Front Shafts - X-Eng Handbrake - Custom Fuel Tank

Hi Jordi.

Thanks for taking the time to reply - that's really helpful. From your points, it may not be anything "special" then, but that's cool. For a minter at £4000, I couldn't be happier.
