Barttheguinness Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 1990 Jeep Comanche Larado 4.0 I6 / AX15 / 2WD / Dana 35 / Short Bed Build date: 8 / 89 Current Location: West Midlands, England, UK Status: Undergoing restoration. Currently SORN. (Statutory Off The Road Notification) Notes: One of only 7 MJ's in the UK, as far as my research shows. If this was in the USA, I have no doubt that it would be in a junkyard. It's costing me an arm and a leg just to get it back on the road. Floors rotted out. No brakes. Roof rotted as well. Imported into the UK in 1996, from Florida. Bench seat. Sliding window. Rubber carpet. Plan is to keep it pretty much stock, and fit a late XJ front end. It will be used to promote a Jeep club, that I'm heavily involved in, here in the UK Current owner: Me. Bart. For a little over a month, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Not to trying to be rude, but from the vin (10th digit L) it's a 1990 model year, very early build, though. Still, great looking truck, at least from what I can see of it on my phone. It's really cool to see MJ's on other continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barttheguinness Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 That's what I got, when I checked the VIN, too. The sticker in the drivers door must be lying. It's registered with the DVLA as a 1990 as well. Sticker...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91Pioneer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The sticker on the door does not tell you the model year, it tells you the date of manufacture. Just like right now, you can buy 2015 model year vehicles in 2014. So your truck is actually a 1990 model that was build in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yup, sticker's still good. If it's still got the emissions sticker under the hood, it'll say 1990 as well. The new model years typically start production around June or July of the previous calender year, sometimes earlier or later depending on the manufacturer, model, and year in question. That way they can have the new vehicles in showrooms before August/September when they start selling them. Why that's done? I don't really know. Might have something to do with old habits and harvest time (money's in, work has slowed down), or people getting ready for winter, or possibly the back-to-school rush... no idea. Maybe the engineers like to go for summer holidays, so they make sure everything's ready for production before they leave? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
