Engine and transmission — Sambar EFI 4WD

The engine is recorded as the EN07V — fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder. 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 EFI 4WD is fitted with a manual gearbox. The trim designation records an extra-low crawler gear.

Condition and equipment — Sambar EFI 4WD

Recorded mileage on this 2000 Sambar EFI 4WD is 18,356. The source recorded no unit alongside that figure, so 18,356 is reproduced exactly as stored rather than converted. Recorded equipment covers air conditioning and power steering.

2000 Subaru Sambar EFI 4WD: the background

The TT2 designation places this 2000 Sambar EFI 4WD in the sixth-generation Sambar, built between 1999 and 2012. 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. On four-wheel-drive Sambars the drive runs forward from the rear-mounted engine, the exact reverse of the usual kei arrangement.

Buying this 2000 Sambar EFI 4WD

In Japan a 2000 Sambar EFI 4WD would have belonged to a shopkeeper, a small workshop or a farm, which is the sort of use it was engineered around. A 2000 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold.
