Just too small and underpowered in my opinion, we had one briefly years ago.

The main factor is the interior is tiny, the only advantage externally is they can fit in a few places that larger vehicles can’t.


A mate of mine has just added a turbo kit and new suspension, it goes like a rocket! He reckons it’s just shy of 200bhp using the same turbo kit that Twisted use but a tiny fraction of the price. I have to say I’m seriously tempted to buy one and do the same. WARNING.

There used to be a fair few Samurai models around, they seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

I think quite a lot of them got rolled, wrote off or just aged but there used to be quite a lot of them around ten years ago or so. They are very nimble and capable off road, many were modded into off roaders.

A lot of the lanes are very narrow this way, and to be honest LR’s don’t fit in a lot of places that SJ’s do.
The last few years seems to be more TRF members on the Greenlanes with mx bikes, a lot of the lanes have got overgrown and there just isn’t room. Rolling Eyes Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Interested in any details you have on what they did with the turbo? Although fraction of Twisted’s price is probably super easy.

A bit easier getting that spare on and off the roof than a 7.50x16 or a 235/85/16!
I don't even put the 205r16 on the bonnet of the series 11 as I find it hard to lift the bonnet when it is on. Age does creep on and brings its limitations! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
