I'm still interested in a 3-dr Shogun but I reckon a Jimny or Defender is probably the answer. There aren't many suggestions here I'd not thought of already; I did wonder if anyone would have knowledge of the Hyundai Sante Fe or Chevrolet Captiva/Vauxhall Antara.
Youre concerned about what others think of a pick up but you’d drive a Vauxhall Antara?!
No, I wouldn't actually

Nissan Pathfinder, Patrol, Safari, Terrano, Mistral, and Isuzu Bighorn would be others to look into.

I thought you suggested a Hilux pickup? It’s more the fact that it looks like a nice clean import that appeals.

I said Hilux or 4runner which is what that is. It’s basically a Hilux with a bed cover

You think Monroe is more sultry than Catherine Bach? I'll go with Jimmy's suggestion, thanks (though back in the 80s, not now).

She looks like a very unconvincing Pre op M2F Transexual these days.
