ausubaru92 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 The local butcher told me today that his daughter in law, who is japanese, said that the Brumby/Brat is still in production in Japan, but only for the JDM. He said he would like to go over there and import a couple for Aust, (which we all know isnt easy) Anybody else heard of this?

Ross Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Havn't heard of that - i would think they would end up here if they existed, and i havn't seen one newer than '94. You should definitely look in to it though, it would be nice to have a brand new brumby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4mudrat Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Production stopped in 1994, he might be confused with the Datsun/Nissan 1200 ute, which is still in production in . . . Thailand (?) . . . I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Boy Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 That would be hell sick i would love a new Brumby or a datson 1200 ute theres a hell of a lot you can do to both to make them into real rocketships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 I was a little dubious when he told me but thought that it was still possiable Anybody have any idea what old gen (79-94) subes were worth? Gannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Value would kinda depend on the area your in but over here you could get good money out of a newer Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Can I get a 94 Brat(Brumby!) Right-Hand Drive please? Thank you. I bet something like that would bring 15k U.S. at least in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well, I live in Okinawa, Japan and I have yet to see any Brumby/Brats running around. The only subies that I have seen are WRXs, Impreza's, Sti's, Sambar's(light truck), Sambar vans, R2's, and this little car that I can't ever see the freakin' name on, but it's a subie too. If they are still in production, I can find out for everyone. I'll go down to the Subaru dealership near Naha and see. They'll be able to tell me for sure. And if they are still making them, Ahemmmm..............Boys & Girls........ get your pocket books ready! But really, all joking aside, I'll check as soon as I can and report back.

555Ron Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Subaru put the Brat out of production to put the impreza into production. Any new vehicle would have to meet safety standards/emission standards etc. So it won't be a brat as you know it! I say its totally impossible. If there was one, Subie Aus would have it here in a flash. The local Subie wrecker has a Toyota as his delivery vehicle. He wants a brat... but he just keeps selling them!

ausubaru92 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Would it be possiable for them to be only making them for the Jap market? This guy might have had the wrong end of the stick, he could have been confused with the Baja. But by the way, any of you Oz or NZ guys have an idea of what the Brumbys were worth brand new?

4x4mudrat Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Talking at work the other night, someone put the figure of $9,990 for a 94 Ag-quip edition. Could be wrong though. I remember my father got a brand new 1982 MY as a company car - in 1982 - and it was only something like $3,000. I'd pay $10K for a brand new Brumby for sure!

555Ron Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I think it was around $11,000, no higher. Maybe if you fully optioned them up, but this is about the mark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 What was the Ag-Quip Brumbys, ive seen a few around with Ag-Quip stickers and was not sure what was with them I suppose the idea of new brumbys was a nice idea while it lasted:rolleyes: Gannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Boy Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah i dont know what was the go with them?? anyways we can only dream and hope for a new brumby. :-\ :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4mudrat Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 You know what Ag-quip is right? The Agriculture Conference/Field days held in Orange NSW. Over the last few years of production Brumbys came out in Ag-quip trim. As far as I'm aware they were just an unleaded DL Brumby with included Air Conditioning, tauneau and some fancy stickers.

They also had a rear step built into the rear bumper and the factory overloop bullbar. One of my friends had one from new I liked the other small touches just made it a little different.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
