SOLD - 1991 Vitara JLX Hardtop 1.6. ** only 1380 miles **

Post by Ade316 » Tue Jan 31, 2017 8:00 pm

I am with regret selling my very special Superior White Vitara 3dr manual.It might well be the best Vitara in the world having covered a mere 1380 miles since it left MVM Suzuki's showroom in Eastbourne, Sussex on 9th October 1991. I have the original sales invoice which lists the extras - alarm, carpet mat set, front and rear mud flaps and wheel arch mouldings, all still present and included.

It comes with a 10 month MOT from Phoenix Suzuki, our local main dealer in Glasgow. Phoenix also serviced it not long after I took possession in October 2014. The car covered 602 miles between 1991 and 2000. It was MOTD in 2003 with 670 miles on the clock and was then stored. The next MOT in January 2014 showed 673 miles. I purchased it the following November in Sussex with 720 miles showing and drove it to Glasgow. I suspect this might have been the first time the car had left Sussex.

The car is in beautiful condition and comes complete with both keys, locking alloys, original Dunlop Qualifier tyres, and service book showing the 1000 mile service completed by MVM after 323 miles and then the next service by Phoenix Suzuki Glasgow after 1236 miles. It also has the original Clarion radio cassette Inspections welcome, it really is unique.

I am looking for £6500. Please message me with any questions if you are interested. Thanks. Ade

Hi, Great looking car. I'm just curious, how have you managed to cover such low miles?

Hi, the original owner was an elderly lady who came into some money and bought a car she didn't use. She passed this on to her daughter who had no use for it. It was then stored for a long period and since I bought it I have only used it to transport it home and to take it for its service and two MOTs. I suppose the main reason then is that since the car had very low mileage after its first ten years then successsive owners have preserved it. The new owner intends to use it however so the car will start to put on some miles now.
If anyone is interested the car achieved the full asking price.

Thanks. It is always interesting to know about car history. Just as in life, some cars appear to be 'born' to have a charmed life - unlike my cars that have always done thousands of miles. Hope new owner enjoys it. :thumbup:
