The Appeal
Designed to meet Japan’s Kei car class regulations, the Suzuki Cappuccino proudly sits just 3cc shy of its class limit, boasting a turbo-charged 657cc 3-cylinder. Despite their low displacement, these fantastic little roadsters offer one of the most characterful driving experiences money can buy and have earned a cult following across the globe. Today, low-mileage examples are becoming few and far between, with a great deal now beginning to show their age.
This Cappuccino however, happily shows off what is believed to be its original finish, and greatly benefits from regular maintenance, and loving care. The vehicle has spent the last twenty years with its current keeper, proving to be a dependable, and enjoyable motor at every turn.
If you’re on the search for a low mileage and original example to add to your collection, very few will come close to this Cordoba Red beauty.
