heir to the Suzuki
LJ20,
and was replaced by the 1998
Jimny 4WD.
The Sierra is also rebadged and sold as the
GM Holden Drover.

in the extreme's of Australia's climate.
The engine has been replaced with a turbo-diesel out
of a Japanese specification Corolla....
...The petrol engine is quite a common transplant in Australia,
not so the diesel.
That dust gets into everything; after a while you can taste it.

Series IV Detroit Lockers Front & Rear,
Four Wheel Disk Brakes,
Coil Sprung Front & Rear,

There is a lot of nostalgia for the 1970s, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke
LJ20s.
Farmers liked them because the engine could not starve of oil,
even at the craziest angle.

Do you remember those?
2 cylinder 2 cycle water cooled engine. They were around long enough
for the Feds to outlaw them due to pollution standards. They would fit
in the bed of a full size, fleet side, long wheelbase pickup.
If you can find one these days they are pretty expensive. I bought one
for $650 and sold it for $1950. I was about 15 then, now I'm 29 and
haven't seen one since. Perhaps you can find some photos of them and
put them on your page. [Any offers]
BTW, they were smaller than the Suzuki Samauri and much more stable.
Mine could climb a 45° incline and not even cough.
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
