The little 25A nipon denso ones ?
They are fitted to quite a few things - including Kubota diggers etc..
Have a look on eBay etc...

25 amp is a bit marginal, back in the 1970s a few small entry level cars like the Mini and Chevette were sold with 25 amp alternators and they were
a constant pain in the backside for flat batteries, when they were replaced by the 35 amp ACR the problem went away.
A Seven style car may not have a heated rear window but they are mainly used for short runs and modern injection systems draw a fair whack of amps.

Diahatsu Charade, don't use the Kubota ones they are not rated to run at high rpm because they are made for diggers!
40 amp output.
