1981 Suzuki SJ80 800cc Willy's Jeep

1982 Suzuki SJ80 800cc

Genuine Barn Find, non runner, some history, will need some work to put back on the road, i have a load of pictures

Whats it worth? And any info is appreciated

[malpas]

in that condition and it's rarity..i'd say stupid money for what it is!! Not only does it look a good copy,but with Suzuki reliability ,then its a winner....

Stick in on ebay with a stupid reserve ,just to see what the market says!!!

Good luck!!

A quick look on wiki suggests this might be an LJ80 or SJ20, which finished production in 81. Looks like someone has grafted a Willys style front on which is a bit of a shame as it would probably be worth more original (super rare I would think) instead of just 'another' Willys knock off

UK based? Got a V5? These will help a sale. Got to be worth £1k as a start price on ebay, all depends on condition

Thanks for the replies.

I think i'll set a crazy price on Ebay with a Best Offer and see what happens with it.

I thought it was an LJ80 with a Willy's front but the current owner has told me he has paperwork with SJ80 on it, he says there is also some history, i'm a bit stumped and information is limited.

Condition wise, its going to need welding, or i would say a new floor would be better, and the engine will need some work as it currently doesn't run, but it all looks quite simple by todays standards and in the right hands i'm sure will be a very nice car, i was even tempted myself!

Thats a rare strange LJ80, is it a two stroke engine? No I am not joking the early ones are two stroke and very good.
Heres a random thread showing how the front should be, I suspect some one has altered it.

This is an early two stroke one, if you contact the guy who posted the video he knows all things LJ.

They are a fantastic cheap off roader as they are so light.
I feel its worth £2-4000 running with MOT, but for the fun you can have for no money I would keep it, it wont go down in value and some off roaders will pay a lot for rotten ones

Sorry cant help my self heres another

I sold it recently as is for the gentleman for £800 and he was happy with the price, it needed a fair bit of work, the front end was a kit that came out years ago.

That's not bad well done
