The 2000 Sambar in context

Subaru's Sambar was the first ordinary kei truck and cab-van offered with four-wheel drive, from 1980. Enthusiasts nicknamed the rear-engined Sambar the "agricultural Porsche", and the joke does real work: rear engine, rear drive, four cylinders, independent suspension all round. Putting the engine under the bed was a deliberate load-carrying decision: on a kei truck the difference between empty and laden is enormous, and the engine acts as ballast over the driven axle when the bed is empty.

The paperwork on this 2000 Sambar EFI Supercharged 4WD

It shows 33,426 on the clock. The source recorded no unit alongside that figure, so 33,426 is reproduced exactly as stored rather than converted. The listing records air conditioning, an airbag and power steering.

Mechanical specification of this Sambar EFI Supercharged 4WD

Power comes from the EN07Y, a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder unit. The EN07 is a genuine four-cylinder in a kei-sized package. Subaru kept building it long after almost everyone else had settled on three cylinders, and it is the single biggest reason Sambars have their own following. The EN07Y drives through a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries selectable 2WD / 4WD high.
