Suzuki Jimny has been an affordable, off-road capable alternative for the masses since 1970. Now, 300 Australians are about to get a very loveable retro-themed limited edition version to drive around in and I can hear Boney M’s “Daddy Cool” playing in my head just looking at the pictures.

What separates the 300 Suzuki Jimny Heritage Edition models from the standard Jimnys? A retro-themed livery, which features ’70s-inspired red and orange stripes and a “Jimny Heritage” logo, red mud flaps, 15 inch wheels, and a five-speed manual. No automatic option is offered and all Heritage models are four-wheel drive.

The only real option for customers to choose from is color, of which there are four: Jungle Green, Medium Gray, Black Pearl, and white. Only the latter of which is standard, all other colors will cost an additional $695 AUD. The starting price of the Heritage Edition is $33,490 AUD ($22,666 USD), which isn’t too much more than the $31,990 AUD price of the typical Jimny GLX manual and it does look quite a bit cooler.
