The Suzuki Jimny, a small, simple and robust 4x4, became the brands first global success. In 1975 the SJ series ('Suzuki Jeep') was launched and it quickly gained a significant market share as it was cheap to buy and run. This led Suzuki to become the market leader for 4x4 cars throughout the 1980s. Particularly popular became the SJ 413 (four-wheel drive, 1.3-litre engine), later called 'Samurai'. Both the body and interior were redesigned with the introduction of a roll bar, along with a new dashboard, seats and grille.

Built under license by Land Rover Santana S.A. in Spain, due to Euroean quotas, this attractively practical LWB version of the Suzuki SJ 'jeep' with a commercial-style hardtop and steel-roofed cabin, has been subject to an extensive restoration by the previous owner which has been effectively documented amongst the photographs and the plethora of digital files with the car, that include diagrams, schematics, how-to' guides and maintenance manuals. The car was stripped right down and the chassis and body separated to be cleaned, repaired, painted and built back to completion. Restoration work included new metal before a final repaint. The LWB Suzuki jeep's removable cabin top was replaced with a permanent steel roof and a rear door fitted to complement the tall hardtop. An attractive proposition as an off-roader, it would also make a fantastic promotional or eye-catching yet practical commercial vehicle. From what we know, the fibreglass rear top, without windows, is unlike any others we have seen, albeit likely from the same manufacturer as the factory approved tops with windows. It is offered with a spare set of Samurai wheels (10 hole steels compared to the 9 hole steels fitted to the vehicle), digital images and files relating to the restoration and the current V5 document.
