Looking at getting a sj 410/413 for my daughter but need pics of one both inside and out side as she cant decide if she wants a soft top hard top or full metel body.

Or anyone local to me who dont mind some one coming around and having a look around their motor (cheeky i know but if you dont ask etc)

Drive one! They are very, err, bouncy!

The soft top is a pain to put up. Although you get used to it, you certainly wouldn't want to get caught in a thunder storm with it down!

Obviously, the soft top has major security issues..... like no security at all :lol:

I'll go and do a few pics of my 413 soft top for you. Obviously, this one is lifted and on 31" tyres, and has no front bumper! But you get the idea! The Samurai (only available as 413) has wider arches (as with mine). The 413 certainly has a bit more grunt although i use the word 'grunt' with a level of optimism :lol:

I've had all three and preferred the hard top ones. They don't look so cool but feel a little safer when off road with no cage and security isn't so much of issue.

All had "interesting" handling on road but you get used to that. 413 has more poke but you won't be leaving things standing at the lights, except perhaps the lights themselves :D

Thats why you wear seat belts. Besides, if you hit em fast enough its not an issue.

Here is Rabbit. An Abused 1.6 8V Vitara JLX Soft Top (Brand new Bestop Roof on her)

Scuse the mess :)

just turned 18 and starting her driving lessons next week :shock: . so stay off the roads around burton on trent and swadlincote.
Was thinking along the lines of a removable hard top with a soft top back up in case she gets caught out ion the rain.
