About the 1999 Subaru Sambar

Every Subaru-built Sambar is a full cab-over, which is precisely how Subaru got a longer cargo bed than its rivals onto the same overall length. 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. The Sambar is the odd one out in the class and deliberately so: Subaru put the engine right at the back, behind the rear axle, and drove the rear wheels from there.

The paperwork on this 1999 Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD

It shows 54,119 on the clock. No unit was stored with that reading — we quote 54,119 as recorded and will confirm from the vehicle on request. The listing records air conditioning, an airbag and power steering.

Mechanical specification of this Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD

Power comes from the EN07V, a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder unit. 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. Behind the Polar White bodywork sits a manual gearbox.

Owning a Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD

A Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD is not a substitute for a full-size pickup so much as a replacement for the trips where a full-size pickup was always overkill. What you see is what we have: a Polar White Sambar EFI TC Limited 2WD on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall. It is listed at $12,900.
