Suzuki SC100 Whizzkid

Primarily sold in export markets, the SC100 was based on the Japanese-market Cervo but featured unique European-style bodywork. The rear-mounted three-cylinder engine and lightweight construction made it surprisingly fun to drive despite modest power. Its unusual appearance and rarity have made it a cult classic in the UK.

$8,000 – $18,000

Known as Whizzkid in the UK market. Extremely rare today with few surviving examples.
