Fronte Coupé
In September 1971 the seminal, Giugiaro-designed Fronte Coupé arrived, the predecessor to the well known Cervo range. Giugiaro's original concept was a revised version of the one-box design he had already used for the "Rowan Elettrica" city car of 1967. Suzuki then modified the design considerably, changing the proportions and adding ornamentation.[7] Based on the Stingray "LC10 II" model, the Fronte Coupé was only ever offered with the water-cooled rear-mounted LC10W engine. While initially only available as a two-seater, these were gradually replaced by four-seater versions. At first only two versions were available, the regular GE and the luxurious GX (or GER/GXR for models fitted with radial tires), both with a 37 PS (27 kW) version of the LC10W.[20] Model changes:
February 1972 – GXF, four-seater 2+2 added. "F" signifies four seats.
March 1972 – 34 PS (25 kW) less equipped 2+2 GXPF added.
June 1972 – Base 31 PS (23 kW) GAF version introduced (¥399,000). Top of the line GXCF also appears, equipped with front disc brakes, and a radial tire equipped GER.[20]
October 1972 – Two-seater versions discontinued.
May 1974 – Only a 35 PS (26 kW) engine now available, due to new emissions rules. Only GXF and GXCF versions remain.
June 1976 – Discontinued. In October 1977 the Cervo replacement arrived.
The Fronte Coupé was simply referred to as the Suzuki LC10W in export markets, where it received a 35 PS (26 kW) 356 cc engine. The Fronte Coupé was resurrected in a revised and larger form as the Suzuki Cervo in October 1977, after Kei car regulations were changed in January 1976.

Could almost bet the Vamos shares plenty of parts with TN7/TN350 of which Honda imported in greater numbers. Still not common due to many having been scrapped by now.
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
