Powertrain on this Sambar

The engine is recorded as the EN07A. Because the EN07 is a four rather than a three, the firing intervals are closer together and the engine is noticeably less busy at speed — a difference you can hear from the driver's seat. This Sambar is fitted with a manual gearbox.

Odometer and specification — Sambar

Odometer at listing is 4,768 mi; the paperwork gives a condition of used. Interior colour is recorded as Grey. Fuel type on file is Gasoline.

Why the Sambar is different

The name comes from the sambar deer, in keeping with the rest of Subaru's naming of that era. When production ended, the supercharged EN07 was the only supercharged engine left in any Japanese car, kei or otherwise — the Sambar was the last kei truck you could order with forced induction. Subaru built the Sambar in-house from 1961 until the last one left the line on 29 February 2012, after which the badge moved onto a rebadged Daihatsu. A 1992 vehicle comes from the in-house era.

Import and ownership — 1992 Subaru Sambar

A 1992 Sambar is old enough to be simple and new enough to be usable, which is most of why this generation gets exported rather than scrapped. It is on our books as 46WxG0, and what this listing records is what we hold on file for it. The asking price is $7,875.
