  • Previously owned by a well-renowned classic motorbike specialist and tailored for motorbike transportation

The Subaru Sambar is a cabover kei-truck and microvan manufactured by Subaru, specifically for the Japanese market. Still popular in the domestic market, Subaru no longer produces the Sambar themselves as the nameplate has been used on a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet since 2012. Following 1998 Kei-Class vehicle regulations changes which allowed for an increase in body size, the sixth generation was available for purchase from May 2nd 1999. The Sambars are fitted with the option of either three-speed automatic or five-speed manual gearboxes.

Manufactured in 2003, this Sambar was supplied new to Japan as a rare four-wheel-drive and four-cylinder example. It is fitted with the 660cc engine with a five-speed manual gearbox, featuring 4WD and 'extra-low gear' function. Imported into the United Kingdom in 2015, this Subaru has had a total of four subsequent keepers, one of which is a well-known classic motorcycle specialist, and the Pick-Up has been modified and used for motorbike transportation.

Currently fitted with an OMP steering wheel (with the original also supplied with the pick-up), alloy wheels, day-time running lights, and Subaru and motorbike related decals, the Pick-Up has 53,825 (atoc) recorded kilometres (equating to c.33,500 miles). Supplied with a combined Owners Handbook and Service book that shows the Subaru has been serviced by Simpsons Subaru in 2016 at 44,280 kilometres and serviced by a previous keeper at 51,150 kilometres in May 2020. Accompanied by five past MOT certificates and a current V5C, the Subaru is offered with cherished registration number 'V6 TPU' which is said to stand for 'Tiny Pick-Up'.
