BlingoAliHere's an oddity I #spotted on #Guernsey a few years back. Very much a grab shot against the light, so heavily GIMP'd, but it's apparently a #Subaru Sambar Dias Classic, although I would have guessed #Daihatsu #Hijet. Later Sambars were re-badged Hijets, so that might be true.
If ever there was a #WeirdCarMastodon candidate, I'd say this was it.
Gotta love a #kei car!
Some other interesting JDM classic cars and a bus from TAM.

David WilkinsA few days ago, I mentioned that the tiny Daihatsu Copen sports car was originally developed to meet Japan’s kei-car regulations but fitted with a larger engine for export. I suspect this boxy practical little Hijet (thank you Google reverse image search) is more typical of Daihatsu’s kei-car output. Snapped by my brother in Tokyo last year.
When is a Daihatsu Sirion not a Daihatsu Sirion? When it’s a Malaysian-produced second-generation Perodua Myvi. This version of the Sirion was also available as the Toyota Passo and the Subaru Justy. Perodua is part-owned by Daihatsu, which is owned by Toyota. The following generation of Myvi was an all-Malaysian design, rather than borrowed from Daihatsu/Toyota. Seen in my local Sainsbury’s supermarket car park last January.

Today, a third Daihatsu, the Sirion. Unlike the Copen and the Terios, which were micro versions of a sports car and an SUV respectively, the Sirion was a fairly mainstream supermini. A few days ago, I mentioned that the strong Yen in the early 2010s made UK imports of the Nissan Cube difficult, a factor that also did for official Daihatsu exports to Britain which ended in 2013. I saw this Sirion while out walking recently. More on the Sirion tomorrow.
Today, we’re looking at another tiny car from Daihatsu, one of the smaller Japanese manufacturers. Daihatsu has long been within the orbit of Toyota and is now owned by the larger company. Unlike yesterday’s Copen, the Terios mini-SUV (here, the first generation model built from 1997) was too big to be a kei car but had a smaller kei sister, the Terios Kid. I saw this one locally in February.
