Extensive photos, 4K videos, and maintenance documentation are available for this Cappuccino. See Rent Kei BHM on YouTube for more information.

1996 Suzuki Cappuccino Limited, 31,XXX kilometers (about 22,000 miles) on the odometer. Two seat, “front-mid engine” (660 cc 3 cylinder turbocharged and intercooled), three speed automatic transmission, A/C, power windows, AM/FM Bluetooth and USB stereo. Hard top convertible: can be operated as: 1.Full hard top 2. “T tops” 3. Targa top 4. Or back-window-retracted full convertible. The roof panels are aluminum, and therefore very light. All three roof panels (just barely) fit in the trunk, and the back glass can be rotated into the body for full convertible drives. Rear defrost is installed on the back glass. The vehicle is unmodified and stock with the following exceptions: Paint color, stereo and speakers, after market driving lights installed, and after market power window switches installed. Every button, switch, light, handle, and gauge works. There are no known defects (other than cosmetic) and no repairs or maintenance needed nor due. The tires are 7 months and >2,000 Km old. The car is in drive-it-home condition.

With a manufacture date of 06/1996, this is one of the newer Cappuccinos available. E-EA21R is the chassis code (1996 to 1997), while most Capps you see are E-EA11R codes (1991 to 1995). The later cars came with a revised intake, a cam chain in place of the previous cam belt, and several small upgrades. The rumor is that the EA21 had slightly more torque than the EA11’s though Suzuki did not make this claim publicly. This car is a “Limited” model, with a three-speed automatic. Four-wheel disk brakes, independent rear suspension, and air conditioning. The air conditioning (R 134a system) works well, and a modest after-market stereo has been installed. This car was not equipped with ABS, though some Limited models were. Car was re-painted in Japan prior to my ownership. Prior to purchase, I ordered a history report through Japan’s version of Car Fax. It can be provided for review. With the exception of the following, this car is complete: Missing external radio antenna, missing spare tire hold-down bolt, and missing roof panel storage bags. VIN is visible in videos.

The engine, intake, exhaust, transmission, body, and wheels are unmodified and factory. The paint was clay bar stripped twice, and five full coats of Color-n-Drive ceramic applied. Numerous other refurbishments have been completed and documented, including but not limited to: New fuel pump. Fuel tank removal, de-rust, and sealed (be aware that ALL Capp tanks rust). Rear differential drained and replenished. Engine flush and oil/filter change. New spark plugs. Coolant system flush and replenished. Brake fluid flushed and replaced. Brake inspection, and new tires. Air filter replaced, and AC evacuated, tested, oiled (PAG 46) and charged. The automatic transmission works flawlessly. Therefore it has not been opened or serviced beyond checking the ATF level.

This car is titled and tagged in/by the State of Alabama. Title is in hand, with no liens. All import and Customs paperwork and receipts will go to the buyer, and can be requested/reviewed prior to bidding.

The low mileage is reflected in the condition of the interior, as well as the firm ride. This is not a cosmetically perfect car, but it’s in fantastic condition as a driver. I bought several Kei cars at the same time when I imported this. While it is far and away the quickest and best handling of my cars, I’m just too tall and fluffy to enjoy driving it (6’ 3” / 245). Even with the automatic transmission, it will pull away from my Honda Beat. Then at the first corner, this Cappuccino is out of sight.

My Opinions: Yes, everyone thinks they want a manual transmission. But after nearly a year of searching 5 and 6 nights a week I came to the conclusion that the only pristine 5 speed cars were going to cost $25 to $30 thousand. Cheaper 5 speed Cappuccinos can be found easily, but there is a reason they are cheap. Budget-conscious enthusiasts got their hands on the manuals years ago, and enjoyed them to their fullest. Because of the bias towards manuals, the automatics didn’t live through the same ‘chapters of life’ the manuals did. What the automatic trans gives away in gear quantity, it gets back by staying on boost. And with fewer and fewer young people able to drive manuals, a pristine automatic may be the best choice for you.

I have made available numerous videos on YouTube that show my refurbishing process, as well as the current condition of the car. Questions and additional photos / facetime calls welcome. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP-vY1hFu2HFDSQDr0TBwlD2c9VuEFkEz

Partial trades considered for a 6th generation Honda VFR 800 in good mechanical condition. No other trades considered. Delivery via trailer to NC, TN, or SC possible for a fee.
