vehicle description:

Welcome to the auction for my Suzuki Samurai. I purchased this in September 2015 with a month or so left on the MOT, with a view to fixing it up and having some fun with it. Alas, it has sat for a year with me doing nothing to it so now I must admit defeat and sell it as I need to clear out my “projects” before we move house.When I bought the Suzi I drove it from North London to Bristol, and then a couple of weeks later from Bristol to Fareham (Hampshire) and it drove on both occasions very well. I have then parked it up, started it up a few times, but generally it hasn’t moved since.
It is being sold now as “spares or repair” as it has no MOT and has not been driven for a year. It would be an excellent winter project for someone who wants to make it road legal again or, you could use it straight away as purely an off-roader. It has many off-road extras although, looking at it and the underside, it doesn’t appear to ever have been used for any significant off-roading.
It"s plus points are:
235/75 BF Goodrich All Terrain Tyres with lots of tread.2 Shackle Lift with Extended ShocksNew Battery (2015)Hard TopSoft Top (the canvas requires replacing but all the hoops etc are there).Subaru Impreza Bucket SeatsLED SpotlightsTow Bar & ElectricsOld School Embossed Metal Number PlatesNew Spare Wheel CoverThe Brakes were overhauled last year.Good Clutch, Bearings, Transfer & Diffs (no odd noises)High & Low ratio work fineFree Wheeling Hubs (£70 new)A complete new front end – see photo (new pattern part front wings are £135 each on ebay). The cars drivers side inner wheel arch has rotted away at the front end – hence the replacement.Original rear seats, seat belts and carpets although not currently fitted.
The standard carb needs an overhaul and likes a few minutes to warm up, but it idles fine. No smoke, no over heating, no contamination. Paintwork looks better in the pictures than real life – the previous owner gave it a home respray with compressor & black gloss cellulose. It was rubbed down etc but needs cutting and will never be show room. The rear hard top door is a badly broken piece of plastic rather than glass, and is now unattached but included – I have used the soft top rear screen to make the car weather tight as the soft top itself is beyond use (but included). The soft top is black with smoked windows. It comes with the role hoop and leading edge that goes on the windscreen. There is no stereo, the door cards are dodgy home made with better padding for bumpy off-roads, the window winders fall off and there are bits of trim missing here and there. The front LED lights are wired independently and are quite smart. There are some big holes in the floor that have been patched with fibre-glass but are the reason that I haven’t tried to get it re-MOT’d, the N/S sill is rotten – a new one is included in the sale. It drops some engine oil, from the sump gasket I think. It"s no show room piece, but its a lot of fun and you can drive it home if you have trade plates! Otherwise it will need to be transported.
I may consider delivering within 200 miles of Fareham (Hampshire) for the cost of the trailer hire plus 50p per mile but please contact me before bidding if you are considering this.
No guarantees or warrantees given or implied etc. I"ll throw in a Haynes manual as well!
Space forces reluctant sale. Looking at the paperwork last week I realised the V5 never made it to me, so I sent off for it 7 days ago. Hopefully it will be back by pick-up but a full receipt will be included and I will forward the log book if necessary or transfer via the DVLA website. Viewing by arrangement at PO14, Fareham. No haggling once the auction has ended - you are bidding to buy at the auction price, stress free sale wanted, full payment within 7 days, no dreamers please, I need it gone.
Please only bid if you are serious about buying. There is a “buy it now” price (to avoid the inevitable questions) and hence, also a reserve price. The “buy it now” is based on the value of the parts that I could sell if I were to dismantle the car – but I don’t want to. The reserve price is there just to maintain the “buy it now” price (regular eBay sellers will know what I mean). I reserve the right to drop the reserve price at any time – and I will do towards the end of the auction because I want to sell the car complete. So please bid what you are prepared (and can afford) to pay, no more and no less.If you have any questions or would like some specific photos then contact me through eBay.
Thank you for looking ☺
