Vehicle Overview

The Suzuki Mighty Boy is an unusual piece of Australian motoring history: a compact utility produced for only a short period between 1983 and 1988, and one that has since earned a loyal following among enthusiasts. This 1985 SS40T example combines the model's distinctive miniature pick-up proportions with a lightweight front-wheel-drive layout and a 543cc three-cylinder petrol engine.

Finished in Winter White, the Mighty Boy has the visual character that makes these little utes so recognisable. Its compact footprint and simple mechanical layout give it an approachable, distinctly analogue feel, while the open rear tray provides the practical utility that separates it from a conventional small hatchback. The automatic transmission also makes the car straightforward to operate in everyday low-speed driving.

This is not presented as a finished restoration. The vehicle has been brought back to running order after spending time off the road, and it runs and drives. It is described as a complete, rust-free example that requires further work, making its appeal more closely aligned with an enthusiast project than a ready-to-use collector car.

The condition report identifies several areas that will need attention. There is a petrol leak from the rear hose near the tray, along with coolant and power-steering-fluid leaks. The radio is not working, and the interior shows wear including cracked dashboard trim and torn seating. The exterior has chips, dings, dents and surface rust from normal use, as well as minor windscreen chips. The front tyres have approximately 20% tread remaining, while the rear tyres need replacing.

With an indicated 182,281ks and no log book, the vehicle's documented history is limited. One key is included. The auction information also records no plates, no roadworthy certificate included and unavailable WOVR information. These points, together with the identified leaks and tyre condition, are important considerations for anyone assessing the car's next stage.

For the right enthusiast, the Mighty Boy's rarity and uncomplicated format provide a distinctive foundation for preservation, mechanical recommissioning or a carefully considered custom project. Its small-displacement engine, front-wheel-drive configuration and compact tray make it unlike more familiar classic utilities, while the period styling gives it an unmistakable identity. Independent inspection is particularly important here so that the vehicle's running condition and required repairs can be assessed directly.
