Let me know how much you want to spend, I have a friend with one that is in great condition and is thinking of selling, it isnt setup with the A frame however. Maybe the right $ offer will make his mind up.

I have setup a 2004 Suzuki Jimny auto to flat tow behind our MH,works great, the modification required is a wizard dog clutch on the output of the transfer case to rear drive shaft, bought as a kit that bolts straight on, you can DYI if you have some mechanical aptitude, unit can be bought from Suzisports in Brisbane
Hi Aus-Kiwi,
We flat tow a 2008 Suzuki Jimny (auto) behind our 2018 Jayco Conquest 25.3 (Fiat Ducato) with a Ready Brute A-Frame, we did a trip to Cairns before we had the wizard fitted, I did the remove Tailshaft and put back when you want to 4WD, after doing it once I realized that I had to get the Wizard Dog Clutch.
I bought the Wizard Dog Clutch from Suzisport in Brisbane (Lawton) and had our local mechanic in Melbourne help me fit it, you really need the car on a hoist, I had the tailshaft shortened 45mm and re-balanced.
Our Jimny has a bullbar which made it easier to fabricate a base plate to suite the A-fame, also I did the fit-out of the brake, break-away and also the tail lights, which are independent to the vehicles electrical system.
We wanted 4WD, however when researching there was a lot of negatives on the Jimny, which some was not correct, weights etc.
The critical thing with the Jimny is the Castor Angle of the front wheels and the @008 Jimny was correct for flat towing and as ours does not have a lift kit or wide wheels, so it's standard and tows really good, you can hardly tell it's there.
I was lucky enough to find a the second hand A-frame (paid $650.00 including the 'On Tow' Sign, but i had to buy all the Jimny brake & break away fittings (North Coach Qld).
Good luck with your search, Jimny is great.
