Description of 1972 Suzuki Samurai

Car is listed for sale locally. This is a rare collector's vehicle. Licensed in Colorado.

The LJ was updated in May 1972 and renamed the LJ20. The grille bars were changed from horizontal to vertical for the LJ20. The engine was replaced with an updated, water-cooled unit (the L50), and its 28PS (21kW; 28bhp) enabled the LJ to reach 80km/h (50mph). With production brought in house, Suzuki could now build 2,000 cars per month.

Suzuki Jimny LJ20

The introduction of left-hand drive signaled Suzuki's worldwide ambitions for the truck. Suzuki did not export them to America; a US company called International Equipment Co. imported them. Export Jimnys had the spare tire mounted on the outside.

Towards the end of LJ20 production, a cleaner 26PS (19kW; 26bhp) engine was introduced, a result of ever more stringent emissions regulations. Top speed was reported as 93km/h (58mph), payload was 250kg or 550lb (200kg or 440lb for the Van version).
