Suzuki Jimny 'Shinsei' Model With A Nod to The 1970's LJ20

Post by SherwoodNash » Sun Nov 06, 2016 4:09 pm

Announced this past October, is the Suzuki 'Shinsei' limited Edition Jimny, 'Shinsei' meaning sacred, is limited to 100 units and the Italian market only.

Based on the looks of the 1970's LJ20, it shows several nods to the past icon including the 'Dark Yellow 70’s' paint code.

No afraid not, just the stock 1.3L, it's mostly a cosmetic exercise.

They brought out a Jimny 'Street' special Italy only edition last year as well.

Hard to belive the jimny body has been out since 98.
Still a smart looking design.
