1980 Suzuki Cervo GX-G (SS20) — 29,350 km (18,166 mi)

A remarkably preserved example of Suzuki’s first-generation Suzuki Cervo SS20—a Giugiaro-designed kei coupe with rear-engine, two-stroke character.

Powered by a 539cc three-cylinder two-stroke mounted behind the rear axle, the SS20 represents the final era of Suzuki’s lightweight, rear-engined kei cars before the shift to more conventional layouts.

This GX-G is the top-specification model, notably equipped with front disc brakes (unique to the upper trim) along with upgraded interior appointments and trim.

Key Highlights

• 20,851 km (12,900 miles) from new
• Books and inspection records dating back to 1979
• Rear-engine / RWD layout with T5A 550cc 2-stroke triple
• Top-spec GX-G (front discs, upgraded trim)
• Exceptionally preserved example

Compact, lightweight, and unmistakably Italian in proportion, the Cervo reflects Giorgetto Giugiaro’s early influence on Japanese design—bridging kei practicality with mini-GT styling.

The SS20 is also historically notable as one of Suzuki’s last passenger cars powered by a two-stroke engine, adding mechanical character that later kei cars lost.

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well-documented, top-spec early kei coupe—equal parts design object and analog driving experience.
