car covered only 32296 km in 28 years it 1985 model
its all original sheet covers / both tail lights tokaidenso / side lamp also of tokai denso/ bonnet opner/ all glass r frm suzuki / its have two modi original tyres

Looking at the seat covers and all, doesnt look like that the car has covered 32k only.

The car is 28 years old.You can expect that kind of wear in the seat covers.Especially if they are not cleaned regularly.

One of my friend's uncle have full stock Deluxe showroom condition SS80. He was in Japan and bought many OEM accessories available for SS80 there at that time including the remote locking. It was pristine car and he still using it in his 70s. Inspired by it my friend bought one after long search, not much interested in restoration, he sold it for mere 26k, which could have fetched at least 60k now for its condition. My brother is now looking for an SS80 and do little bit of mods. Found one brown with 13 inch alloys. Confused whether to proceed.

The SS80 can easily accept 13" rims because its suspension is more like the zen(not estillo).

Finding spares can be difficult.Will need a lot of searching.

There is one SS80 club here. They saying many parts area available here, giving hope. Interesting fact was, it got nylon leaf springs.

If they can help you source parts then its good.

The SS80 had fiberglass leaf springs in the rear.The front struts are the ones you find in the Zen(not estillo)

There may be various problems like:
1. Dirty air filter and spark plug, spark plug gap mismatched.
Clean the filter and the plug. If too old then replace with new one. Set the spark plug gap to 0.7-0.8 mm using a feeler gauge
2. Mostly a mis-tuned or unserviced carburetor causes this problem. Get it tuned.
2. Carbon deposit on the CB point and condenser in the distributor. Clean it using sandpaper.
3. Maybe the clutch has worn out. Get it checked and replaced.
4. Check all the rubber hoses of the fuel pipe for any leaks or cracks. If found replace them.
