1972 Suzuki TC125 Prospector
Registration no. FAX 467K
Frame no. TC125-16382
Engine no. TC125E-16306

Like all the Japanese manufacturers, Suzuki recognised the importance of the North American 'off-road' market and began offering appropriate models in the mid-1960s, commencing with modified roadsters before developing more specialised models. The TC125 model was a development of the trail-styled TS125 roadster but intended for more serious off-road use, as evidenced by its generous front mudguard clearance and dual-range four-speed gearbox.

First registered in the UK on 1st November 2015, this original Suzuki TC125 had been purchased by the current vendor from Bonhams' Stafford sale that October (Lot 116) having come from a private collection in Michigan. The Suzuki had been imported specifically for that auction with relatively few miles recorded. Post-purchase our vendor fitted a new battery and tyres as part of the recommissioning process. Since then the Suzuki has formed part of his collection, covering only some 200 miles in the last nine years (the current odometer reading is 2,400 miles); it last ran in August 2024. As well as being a collectible classic, the Prospector can also be used by learners, as it displaces less than 125cc and is pre-1982. Offered with a V5C document.
