Highlights

Garage-stored for over two decades across just two registered keepers
Previous registered keeper was a mechanic who kept the car for over 20 years
The vendor states the car is in very good condition

The Appeal

The Suzuki Cappuccino is one of the most characterful kei cars ever produced, a tiny, turbocharged, rear-wheel-drive roadster with a clever three-piece removable roof that allows for coupé, targa, and full convertible configurations. Produced in limited numbers between 1991 and 1997, these diminutive sports cars have developed a devoted following, and good examples are increasingly sought after.

This 1994 example has benefited from remarkably careful stewardship. Its previous owner, a mechanic by trade, kept the car for over 20 years and always stored it indoors. The current owner has continued this regime, garage-storing the Cappuccino for the past three to four years.
