Here'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!

Something new …

Follow for updates, and if you have or are aware of a Suzuki Samurai with title, motor, transmission and running gear for sale in the central coast California vicinity, or if you have something similar you might want to donate to the project, message me, we might want to talk. :)

@bradley thank you! I had always admired them from afar, and felt fortunate when a good performance review at work gave me the bump I needed to seriously consider owning one of these! I also own a Tesla but I've found I just have more fun driving this. So it has become my primary vehicle. #keiTruck #hijet #JDM

(4/5) It’s fair to say the #Hijet MPV was not a great motorway car: a very short wheelbase coupled with tall sides made it a little, umm, frisky in crosswinds. Once, passing an artic on the motorway, it moved one complete lane to the right as we emerged from the crosswind shelter of the truck. But around town it was bouncy fun, lugging fizzy drinks and cat litter through gaps a moped rider would look twice at, sipping unleaded as it went.

(3/5) I didn’t fancy a car with no real dealer support in the UK, but then another company stepped in: maybe not quite as cool-looking but ticking all the boxes: tiny but roomy, 993cc three-cylinder EFI economy, six seats, able to out-turn a London cab, decent payload, and for some reason a siren call to my inner Postman Pat.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the #Daihatsu #HiJet MPV.

the Daihatsu #HiJet gets 40-60 mpg, depending on the model year. The HiJet pictured is a 4wd.
