Overview
We bought this 1989 Suzuki Alto Works RS/X directly from its first owner in Japan. That is a rare provenance for a car of this age, and it comes in very good overall condition too.
The bodywork is well kept, finished in white with a silver lower section. There are a few light scratches and minor signs of use here and there, all shown in the detail photos. Overall it looks fresh and attractive, and the yellow headlights add a quirky touch that suits its cheeky character perfectly.
The interior has held up beautifully as well. The signature ‘Twin Cam Turbo’ seats have tidy upholstery and well-shaped bolsters. Clean door panels and a matching rear bench complete the picture. Details like these give this Alto the charm of a well-preserved Japanese hot hatch from the eighties.
It sits on a brand-new set of Nankang semi-slick tyres and has passed the Belgian pre-sale inspection, so it’s ready to be registered straight away. The air conditioning is currently not working; if you’d like, we can arrange a repair by mutual agreement.

This is the 550cc version of the Works RS/X: a true pocket rocket with a playful face and a tough heart. Its compact size and cheerful looks only tell half the story. Underneath sits a small Japanese turbo with a hefty dose of character, and in this case a great provenance and exceptionally well-kept condition to match.
