For this week’s #ThrowbackThursday, here’s the #SuzukiSC100, also known as the #Whizzkid in the UK, a fine mix of Italian styling and Japanese ingenuity, developed from the #SuzukiCervo, which itself was based on the #SuzukIFronte #keicar.

The pretty Isuzu 117 Coupé, styled Giorgetto Giugiaro, was first revealed as long ago as 1966. For the first five years of production it was largely handbuilt.
📸 This 1.6 DOHC 117 PA90 was built in 1969. 🤍

Here’s something very different for #ToyotaTuesday - the only #2000GT Targa in the world, currently on display at Autoworld in Brussels. It was converted around 30 years ago.

Sheer perfection … 🤍
When James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli saw the iconic #Toyota2000GT, he just had to have one for ‘You Only Live Twice’. For Sean Connery to fit, Toyota had to remove the GT’s roof. Two convertibles were built for the film.
