The Appeal
Curiously cubic and undeniably versatile, the Sambar is practically a by-word for the kei-class ('keijidōsha') truck - a light vehicle statutory class that's synonymous with the Japanese commercial market, and becoming increasingly popular in our territories for a multitude of reasons. Kei-class trucks are lightweight, near bulletproof, cheap and effective - plus, their squat, short wheelbase are undeniably attractive.
This 1994 Subaru Sambar Dias offers seating for up to seven people, with all of the rear seats able to be folded flat for added goods capacity. It's definitely spent its life working, and could use some cosmetic restoration, but we're informed it's a fine runner, These characteristically tall, slab-sided vehicles may be a little 'rolly' (we wouldn't recommend driving into a crosswind) but they're bound to prove fun and drivable.
