Owned by little old lady! Non-rusted out Canadian 1st gen Suzukiclone = unicorn! Garage kept!

Unfortunately, it's got a slushbox. 5-speed conversion candidate? Adds 20 MPG instantly!

I think these cars came in around 1650 lbs -- one of the few cars lighter than Lotus' fancy new super lightweight Elise.
