1991 Suzuki SJ70 Widetrack Convertible - 156,014 kms- Compact 4WD Utility Vehicle
Overview
This 1991 Suzuki SJ70 Widetrack represents a classic era of compact Japanese 4WD utility vehicles, built for genuine off-road capability and everyday versatility. The SJ70 platform became iconic for its lightweight construction, simple mechanical design, and proven reliability across diverse terrain. With its distinctive Widetrack badging and convertible soft-top configuration, this example combines open-air driving with genuine four-wheel-drive functionality. The 1.3-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers straightforward, dependable performance characteristic of early 1990s Japanese engineering. This vehicle has clearly been used and enjoyed, with the hour meter reading reflecting genuine operational history.
The exterior presents in honest condition reflecting its 35-year age and extensive use. The white paintwork shows typical weathering and minor surface rust spotting on lower body panels, particularly around the wheel arches and sills. The soft canvas convertible top exhibits wear and fading consistent with prolonged sun exposure and age, though the frame structure remains intact. Chrome trim shows oxidation and patina. The Widetrack body styling remains distinctive, with the characteristic angular lines and proportions clearly visible. All four wheels carry matching white-wall alloy rims with reasonable tread depth remaining. The spare tyre is mounted externally on the rear, and a modern LED light bar has been added to the front bumper area, suggesting ongoing use and maintenance interest. Interior trim shows expected wear with faded upholstery and weathered dashboard components, though the basic structure is sound. The two-door configuration provides straightforward access, and the manual soft-top mechanism operates. This is a vehicle with genuine patina and character, not a show piece, but mechanically sound and ready for enthusiast use or restoration projects.
In today's market for classic Japanese 4WD vehicles, comparable SJ70 examples in similar condition have been listed in the AUD 8,000 to 12,000 range depending on mechanical condition and originality. This example's extensive hours and cosmetic wear position it at the accessible end of the market, making it attractive to buyers seeking genuine mechanical functionality over showroom presentation. Original SJ70 models are increasingly sought by enthusiasts and restorers, particularly in markets valuing compact, simple 4WD platforms.
