Odometer – 37,000
A true rarity from the golden age of Japanese hot hatches, this 1989 Suzuki Swift GTi is a remarkably original and timewarp example, displaying a highly credible 37,000 miles. The vendor informs us that just 20 of those miles have been covered in the past two years, and the car remains in beautifully preserved condition.
Originally registered in the Isle of Man, the Swift GTi was imported into the UK in 2023. Prior to its import, the vehicle was kept in dry storage and had been in the hands of just two previous owners. Since arriving in the UK, it has had only two registered UK keepers, underlining its continued careful ownership. In the current ownership, that level of care has continued, with the vendor also storing the vehicle indoors and recently commissioning a full professional detail. The GTi’s wheels have been tastefully upgraded, complementing the period styling of this now ultra-rare performance hatchback.
Combining twin-cam excitement with featherweight engineering, the Swift GTi was a favourite among enthusiasts in its day – though very few now survive in such original and well-preserved condition. This example would make a fantastic addition to any JDM collection or retro performance car garage.
In summary:
- Just 37,000 miles from new, with only 20 miles covered in the last two years
- Imported from the Isle of Man in 2023, only two UK keepers since
- Offered without reserve
