First Gen Pajero

[Hasanka]

Hi Guys,

Had enough of over priced small cars and loony hybrids which comes out now a days and decided to go for a good old mk 1 pajero.

Was searching for last few months but it's damn difficult to find a decent flat roof turbo inter cooler version with legit documents.

I recently came across a 1986 Flat roof car 32- 29xx (cr body fitted) (CLO48) mentined in the book. Vehicle seem to be in a good nick as well.

my only concern with this is, it has coil spring suspension in the back. And some one told me this particular range should only contain leaf springs,

is this an issue? Am I looking at some illegal (gediya) car? 

Will this cause issues from police/RMV?

Please help my guys

Thanks

Well obviously this genius "someone" knows only olf the garden variety model imported to SL new.

Good luck finding the ultimate paj, and with legit paperwork.  your better off today with a LJ79, but they also have their gremlins.

 

Cheers

TT.

Hello Hasanka,

 

I am sure the permit is only to replace a body not the chassis  as per my knowledge SL should only have handful of flat roof turbo wagon's.

Leave the rest for you to decide.

As mentioned by John Cooper the flat roof models were JDM import and high roof were brand new import but made in Japan.

There are few flat roof models with auto box.

The high roof had a turbo wagon variant which came with better interior, sunroof and turbo from factory. The turbo wagon probably had coil springs too at the back

Just curious, whats the big deal if the body has been replaced? These have a body on frame structure so you could basically take away the body quite easily
