Hi has anyone seen the Swift on Ebay?
It doesnt look too bad, but there is nowhere to find info on these things. All that comes up on google is the new shape swift.
Looks like a mini subaru or something.

The irony there is the Swift was badged as a subaru as well.

One Subaru Justy:

Very rare, think I have only ever seen two. There is a bit of demand for them I believe, although could just be for engine bits, like the Swift 1.3.

Hi.. It was near Crystal Palace in South London, I think I've found the location on Google Streetview in the past, but with no Swift present sadly.

I used to work for Suzuki and there was a 4wd version of the Swift that was similar to the Subaru Justy shown above. I think they are both 1300cc we had a few clued up farmers that used to buy them as an alternative to the Santana/Samurai apparently they are so light they don't get stuck if you put nobbly tyres on them. I can't remember driving one but the Swift Gti of that era was great fun

Incase you didn't realise it's also for sale on Retro Rides.

I can't help but wonder if it is the same white one that used to be local to me. I am not a million miles away, it's the only other one I have seen.

Good luck with the bid, hope you look after it if you win.
