Isuzu Bighorn Irmscher S SWB 2.8 IC

Ultra rare collaboration between German tuning company Irmscher and Isuzu. Only 1000 of these S models were made in factory for Japanese market only. Genuine factory JDM Isuzu Bighorn Irmscher S Short, confirmed by chassis number. The Irmscher S was a Japanese-market Isuzu Bighorn special edition created when Isuzu teamed up with Irmscher, the German company best known for tuning and styling Opel models. The idea was to give the tough first-generation Bighorn a more distinctive European-flavoured character. What makes it special is that it combined the short-wheelbase 2.8 diesel manual platform with Keiper Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel, intercooler-equipped turbo spec, and distinctive Irmscher trim, giving it a much more unusual identity than an ordinary Trooper. This also comes with period accurate alloy wheels they look like they came with it from factory but can't be sure. The value here is in the rarity, the model identity, the surviving Irmscher-specific features, and the fact that it is a genuine project with paperwork on Irish plates. These have real appeal to Isuzu collectors, JDM enthusiasts. Original good condition examples have sold for 25k plus. Body requires total restoration: roof, bonnet and panels are heavily rusted, water ingress present, engine has not been started recently and condition unknown. Chassis does look solid haven't inspected fully. Sold as seen.
