Suzuki SJ 1971-97 Gold Portfolio

Suzuki was a late starter in the world of four-wheel drive and catered mainly for the 4x4 market in South-East Asia. The SJ models introduced in the early 1980s replaced the earlier LJs. Demand in Europe was high so an agreement was reached with Santana in Spain who built the Suzukis which were sold in European markets. At the end of the 1980s a bigger engine was introduced together with a five-speed gearbox and a long-wheelbase derivative added to the SJ's versatility.
