ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Welcome to the experience of driving a virtually new Suzuki Jimny! The chain driven M13A DOHC displaces 1328cc and produces 80.5bhp and 110Nm of torque. The switchable Drive-Action four-wheel drive system together with the short wheel base, chunky tyres and 190mm ground clearance make this a formidable off-roader willing to embarrass many a SUV of far more cost, not that this example has seen as much as a puddle! The engine bay is spotlessly clean with factory plates, PDI dabs and stickers all present and undamaged. The sturdy 5-speed manual gearbox provides light and precise gear changes.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This exceptional Jimny has factory fitted 15” steel wheels which are unrestored and in near perfect order with only a few minuscule markings carefully touched in. To the delight of those seeking total originality, the factory fitted Bridgestone Dueller H/T 205/70 R15 tyres remain fitted all round including the full-size spare which is unused and still displaying colour banding and tyre nobbles. The servo assisted braking system is factory standard and with just 1,514 miles usage the discs, callipers and back plates and rear drums are super clean.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Main Dealer, Lincoln Suzuki, the car was registered on the 13th August 2003. The first owner used the car as a second vehicle in retirement but mostly kept it garaged due to poor health meaning he would not use it. In 2010 the car was no longer being used whereby it remained in the garage until in 2022 and following the owners passing the car was discovered. Despite the low mileage there are seven stamped entries in the original service booklet with the most recent being in August 2022 at 979 miles which entailed a full program of recommissioning including a major service with all oils, fluids and filters replaced as well as a full safety inspection. In 2022 the car was sold by KGF Classic Cars to Mr and Mrs Halsall who were speechless at the condition upon delivery. Intending on keeping the car long term, the new owners added various Suzuki approved accessories to include a roof luggage module, tailgate ladder, stone deflector, Hella Comet 500 spot lamps and Alko tow bar with electric socket. All accessories are carefully fitted with the protection pads and no drilling to the bodywork should they wish to be removed without trace. The car has coved approximately 500 miles with its new owners and the accessories unused due to Mr Halsall fallen victim to a hit and run driver whilst riding his bicycle. He now struggles to drive a manual car and so the heart wrenching decision to sell has been made.

The original Suzuki document wallet houses all handbooks, guides and dealership literature as well as two sets of keys with code tags and dealer fobs. A separate history folder contains recent service documentation along with Jimny range sales and accessories brochures. Preserved to the highest original order and as close to a new 2003 Jimny as you are ever likely to find, truly outstanding and so much so that Suzuki had to remake it!

EXTERIOR
This delightfully humble Suzuki Swift has covered an incredibly low 9,427 miles from new in the hands of just one owner!  The factory original Superior White paintwork, (Code 26U), is preserved in excellent order to boast a bright uniform shine, thanks to strict garage storage from new and the unusually low miles covered.  All factory panels are straight and free from damage, and only light markings can be seen including a touched in scratch to the boot lid and small mark to the driver’s door edge being worthy of mention.  All trim sections are fully intact and the bumpers are excellent with no scuffs.  The supplying dealer number plates remain fitted.  A rare surviving example preserved in incredible condition.

INTERIOR
The interior of this exceptionally low mileage Swift is virtually as new.  The original Blue Grey, (Code GR), seat trim is pristine and displays no wear whatsoever and the grey carpeting is perfect having been protected from new by two sets of overmats.  The grey plastic door cards are hard wearing and show only light scratches to the driver’s side front.  The perfect fascia houses fully functional equipment including the optional PYE CCE500 stereo cassette, and the polypropylene steering wheel and gear knob displays prominent veins found only on very low mileage examples.  The boot area is spotlessly clean with original luggage mat and parcel shelf fully intact.  A refreshingly basic yet functional interior, a stark contrast to today’s tech-loaded cars!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The standard steel wheels wear the dealer fitted hubcaps in good condition and all tyres are the factory fitted Michelin MXT 155/70 R13 including the unused spare wheel.  Whilst displaying masses of tread, tyre renewal prior to regular use may be a wise safety precaution.  The spare wheel is housed underneath the immaculate plywood boot floor alongside the original toolkit and jack.  Even the paper factory build sticker in the boot has survived intact!  Active front ventilated disc brakes bring the car up straight and steady.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 30th June 1997 by Suzuki Main Agents, Autocar of Nottingham, this remarkable Suzuki Swift has covered a fully verified 9,427 miles from new with just one owner!  The history file contains both the original order form and sales invoice for £5,495 made out to Mr Edwin Smith, who upon retirement purchased it as a dealer pre-registered car when it was just four weeks old and had covered 11 miles.  Mr Smith was a traditional gentleman of senior years who was conscientious about vehicle maintenance, and even affixed notes in the engine compartment to highlight oil dipstick location and a reminder to cover the belt when checking the oil, presumably to avoid drips!  Virtually every MOT certificate dating back to the very first enables the mileage to be fully tracked and verified.  Furthermore, the Suzuki Driver Information wallet holds the service book with factory build sticker, handbooks and radio guide.  Competing the history file are invoices, welcome letter from Suzuki, two sets of Suzuki keys and an original sales brochure.

A delightful entry level classic with dare to be different kudos.  This is quite possibly the lowest mileage example left and will certainly put a smile on your face!

A race-bred UK Suzuki RGV250P VJ22 in superb original condition.

EQUIPMENT
Aluminium-alloy double cradle frame, light weight high rigidity DC-ALBOX main tube, link-type rear suspension, double braced swing arm, racer-styled cowling brace, racerlike wide seat, pillion seat, lockable under-seat storage, lockable fuel tank, steering lock, rectangular double tail light, aerodynamic rear view mirrors, dual right side exhaust pipes, Automatic Exhaust Timing Control (AETC), Suzuki Advanced Power Control (SAPC), Multiple Digital Ignition System (MDIS), Ram Air cooling system, race-proven inverted front fork, extensive side faring, front cowling incorporating windshield, tachometer, temperature gauge, parking lights.

EXTERIOR
The lightweight race-inspired RGV250 series offered an exciting 250cc streetbike package with many features and performance developments taken from the Team Suzuki RGV Gamma racebike.  Finished in the original combination of Black Metallic, (Code 6BY), with Purple decals, the paintwork is absolutely factory original and presents well.  Light aging to the finish can be seen and the factory fitted decals are fully intact.  Beautifully preserved, all farings and trim sections are in excellent condition and factory identification plates, stickers and labels remain fitted.  The chassis inscription and stamping on the frame and stock respectively are clearly visible to easily affirm the matching numbers credentials.  A wonderfully unmolested example and a fantastic testament to the Team Suzuki Grand Prix legend.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Based squarely on the RGV Gamma power plant, the two stroke water cooled V-Twin unit was redesigned by Suzuki for the 1993 model year, (Year Code P), with the most notable alteration being 90° to 70° between the cylinders.  The 249cc unit develops a manufacturer quoted 62hp at 11,000rpm, and as expected with a two-stroke racing motorcycle, the narrow power band above 8,000rpm effectively doubles the power delivery characteristics.  The original factory twin pipes have the Suzuki part number stampings clearly visible.  The 6-speed one down five up transmission features a wet multi-plate type clutch and operates effortlessly.  Widely considered at the time to be as close to a racing bike as possible.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Hollow three spoke 17” cast-aluminium wheels are lightweight and rigid and remain in unrestored factory black with quality Bridgestone BT45 110/70 R17 and BT96 150/60 R17 tyres fitted front and rear respectively.  The high performance braking system features enlarged 300mm dual front discs with the correct Tokico callipers and a single 210mm rear disc.

HISTORY FILE
The RGV250 ran from 1987 to 1997, but they were only officially imported into the UK from 1989 (RGV250 K) to 1994 (RGV250 R).  This rare genuine UK (RGV250 P) example was registered new on 20th August 1993 by Suzuki main agents Bridge Motorcycle World to first owner Mr Jason Chandler.  Having covered 15,882 miles prior to being put into dry storage in 2010, this enthusiast owned bike has since been on display and formed part of an impressive motorcycle collection, a 50+ assortment of classic bikes.  The original Suzuki service record with factory build sticker intact has been kept in the history file along with invoices and many MOT certificates from the pre storage period.  The original key and Suzuki fob has been kept.  One of the best unrestored UK examples there is and something for the Suzuki enthusiast or 80’s/90’s sports motorcycle collector to behold.

EXTERIOR
The world of superbikes requires no introduction to the Suzuki GSX-R series of limited-edition production racers, and the 750 SP (Sport Production) stands to remain the most special.  A minimum of 200 road-going bikes were required for World Superbike homologation, of which 150 and 50 were destined for the German and French markets respectively, whereas Suzuki GB ordered none!  Just six bikes managed to make their way to the UK, with this example being Spectrum Blue Metallic, (Code 1MJ).  The paint finish is simply outstanding with all faring and trim in near perfect order.  Incredibly, the unique original decals have been preserved and carefully lacquered over for future protection.  All identification markers including the stock and frame chassis inscriptions, build plate and factory stickers such as the tyre information guide, remain intact.  The standard blue pillion seat remains in addition to a super rare single seat cowling, both in perfect condition.  An exceptionally rare example of this legendary road-going racer.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 749cc liquid cooled DOHC 16v inline four-cylinder engine features unique components to the SP model, including the 40mm Mikuni flatside carburation.  A power output of 105bhp at 11,500rpm and 55lb.ft of torque at 9250rpm enables a tested top speed of 160mph and 0-60mph in 4.38 seconds!  Furthermore, the exhaust system was completely redesigned from standard WR model with a four-into-two-into-one stainless steel system with the bore increased from 31.8mm to 35mm.  Finally, the six-speed close-ratio gearbox features deeper cut, hardened gears with very tall first gear, and gears two to six closely-spaced to facilitate rapid acceleration.  The bike is mechanically excellent and aside from the exhaust can, totally standard.  Widely considered at the time to be as close to a racing bike as possible.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Lightweight hollow three spoke 17” cast-aluminium wheels present beautifully with quality correctly sized Michelin Pilot Power 2 CT tyres fitted new in 2014.  The high-performance braking system features two 320mm front disc brakes with six-piston Tokico callipers and 280mm rear disc with twin-piston Tokico calliper.

HISTORY FILE
With Suzuki UK deciding not to import any of the 200 road bikes produced for World Superbike homologation, it was decided by renowned Paul Denning of Crescent Suzuki to source six examples from the 150 bikes supplied to the German market.  All six were registered to Crescent Suzuki and with a price tag of an eye-watering £10,400 compared £7,900 for a standard GSX-R750WR, the appeal in addition to improved performance was of course the extreme rarity.  First registration by Crescent Suzuki was on 21st March 1994.

This example was registered on the Suzuki GB system on 27th April 1994 and was the third of the six bikes, with matching engine numbers, as confirmed in an email from Tim Davies, Aftersales and Marketing Co-ordinator of Suzuki GB PLC.

In late 2014, Simon Turner, a GSX-R enthusiast and vintage clock mender by profession with a natural eye for precision, purchased the bike knowing the rarity and huge importance of the model.  To his delight, upon first viewing he realised it was the exact bike used in an edition of Superbike Magazine dated from 1994 when the model was released, a pristine copy of which is in the history file.  Also in the history file is a copy of the December 2015 edition of Practical Sportsbikes, whereby the complete strip down and meticulous rebuild by Simon Turner is featured.  This non-compromising restoration undertook every aspect to ensure this example almost as good as new, an aim he has certainly achieved.  His eye for provenance and detail even extended to replicating the Crescent Suzuki stickers to the front cowling.  Furthermore, the incredible history file includes a DVD with a complete documented and photographic log of the restoration with 100’s of before, during and after images to enjoy.  A certificate in the history file verifies the speedometer change from the original kilometers to miles, whereby a professional company matched the mileage to the km covered at the time of conversion, another wonderful example of attention to detail.  Furthermore, the history box file contains many invoices and literature relating to the bike and its maintenance, including work undertaken by respected Padgett’s of Batley Ltd.  An almost unrepeatable opportunity for the Suzuki collector wanting the ultimate fully useable showpiece.
