Description

This is a 1978 (Showa 53) Suzuki Jimny SJ10F soft-top, second generation "slant-eye" model, finished in yellow (repainted from the original Sirius Green). It has the H-SJ10 chassis code with a 550cc water-cooled 2-stroke 3-cylinder engine, floor-mounted 4-speed manual transmission, 4WD, and seats 4. Mileage is unknown (odometer reads 68,334 km). The car retains its factory shaken (vehicle inspection) valid through June 2028 and has not been modified, so it can pass future inspections as-is. The seller states the brake wheel cylinders (a known SJ10 weak point) have been overhauled, the headlights have been upgraded to LED, and the aftermarket fog lights work. It rides on unbranded aftermarket wheels with Bridgestone Dueler tires (2019 manufacture, roughly 80% tread remaining). Reinforcement plates were added to the driver, passenger, and cargo floor areas. A half soft-top is currently fitted; a matching full soft-top made at the same time is included with the sale. The seller reports no current mechanical issues and says the car drives, turns, and stops normally. Sold with active inspection; transfer of ownership will occur after registration change.

Seller notes a fair amount of rust on the body, and this is a smoker's vehicle though the ashtray has been cleaned; no accident history is confirmed either way ("unknown").

Shipping: The seller offers to assist with arranging inland transport but does not quote a cost and asks buyers not to inquire about pricing. Buyers may also drive the vehicle away themselves at their own risk. The car is located near Shisui Premium Outlets in Chiba Prefecture.

Ships from Chiba, Japan, to our Osaka warehouse and on to Pomona.
