Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONAL and highly exclusive Suzuki Santana SJ410 of the Special Limited Nairobi Edition, manufactured in 1988, preserved in a purely original state with only 73,000 real kilometers of use. This iconic off-roader stands out for its impeccable provenance, having belonged to the manager of an official Suzuki dealership in the area, which guarantees the level of care received. As a detail of great interest for collectors, the Nairobi special series is one of the rarest and most coveted limited editions produced under license by the legendary Santana Motor factory in Linares, Spain. Conceived originally with an adventurous and military focus, this model stands out for its lightness and its superb agility in open terrain. It incorporates the legendary and robust 970 cc F10A engine, a four-cylinder block famous in the world of classic motoring for its extreme mechanical simplicity, zero maintenance, and reliability that borders on indestructibility.
BODYWORK AND PAINT:
The paint and bodywork are in very good overall condition, boasting the characteristic military green color typical of this iconic special series. The car has no structural dents of any kind in its sturdy ladder-frame/chassis. As it is a completely original, un-restored collectible, it only shows very slight cosmetic imperfections derived from its age, which in fact certifies its authenticity and grants it a genuinely valued patina. Additionally, it retains intact the original distinctive Nairobi edition decorative vinyls.
MECHANICS:
Under the hood lies the reliable 970 cc gasoline engine paired with its manual 4x4 transfer case, with all mechanical components operating smoothly, directly, and precisely. The vehicle has been recently serviced thoroughly in a workshop to ensure perfect operation. It has up-to-date maintenance for the timing belt, the main fluids recently changed, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed from day one without the need for any additional investment. INTERIOR: The cabin presents an immaculate, clean, and extremely well-kept appearance for its age. The entire interior remains strictly original, preserving the seats, trim, and dashboard in factory-original condition. The only modification from its showroom-out-of-dealership state is the steering wheel, which has been replaced with a period-correct sporty wheel that is delivered mounted in the visual conditions shown in the vehicle images.
DOCUMENTATION:
The vehicle is formally registered and cataloged as a Historic Vehicle in Spain. It has the major advantage of having the Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) in force and with extended validity and exemption from frequent revisions until 2028. Furthermore, depending on the resident municipality, this historic status benefits from total exemption or partial reduction of the circulation tax, as well as the possibility of obtaining very affordable insurance for classic cars.
PICKUP:
The car is available for prior inspection and subsequent collection in Olot, in the Girona province, Spain (including its regional catchment area).
OTHER INFORMATION:
We strongly recommend that all interested bidders come to see and inspect the vehicle in person before placing any bid. This ensures a transparent transaction and avoids any surprises or misunderstandings afterwards.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
