Background: the Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD

Sambars turn up in more colours than most kei trucks because Subaru sold plenty to private buyers as well as to trades; this one is Polar White. The TT1 designation places this 1999 Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD in the sixth-generation Sambar, built between 1999 and 2012. Japan's Akabou courier cooperative ran Sambars almost exclusively for three decades, on a factory type-approved version with its own valves, pistons, rods and crankshaft built to cover 200,000 kilometres of courier work — a fair indication of what the platform tolerates.

Mechanical specification of this Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD

Power comes from the EN07V, a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder unit. Subaru was the last maker to keep a four-cylinder in the kei class, and the EN07 is that engine — four small cylinders instead of three larger ones, which is why a Sambar is so much less busy than a three-cylinder rival. The EN07V drives through an automatic gearbox.

Owning a Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD

A 660cc engine will not tow across a state, but it will do yard, field and site work all day on very little fuel. Japanese makers also held to a voluntary 64PS ceiling for the class. Built in 1999, this Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD is 27 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity. It is listed at $12,900.
