Been Offered A Samuri (Sort Of)

Post by rory-ray » Mon Aug 12, 2013 10:17 pm

Ive been offerd a samuri for a cheapish price


It was bought standard 7ish years ago, it was then set up for offroad by the owner(s) there proper mechanics from a very well known garage in Bristol.

Now they used it, hard, it was caged up and the cage had been used, they've winched it up a tree for a laugth and they use it to drive over and into the scrap cars they end up with.


There now building a defender 90 :argh: so they offerd the Sammy to me without the wheels, tyres and winch, my question is, what is it worth? could I break it and see some decent money from it? I haven't seen it in a few years, but my guess is its still probally on ok condition to break, I know it all still works ok. if theres keen interest in the parts I can get some pictures and put a few names down for parts wanted etc


I wouldont mind running it myself but me being 6.7 ft tall I struggle to fit in them comfortably

I think you should get it and drive it ;) I'm not as tall as you however, I've got buckets that are mounted 2" off the floor and there's now loads of headroom and if I didn't have the bulkhead in behind my seats they could go a long way back :lol:

It's hard to value them without seeing the condition and what sort of spec it has with regards to all the mods.
