“The Subaru Sambar is a cabover truck and microvan manufactured and marketed by Subaru as Japan's second truck compliant with the country's strict Keitora (軽トラ) or Kei vehicle tax class, after the Kurogane Baby. Introduced in 1961 in microvan and Kei pickup configurations, the Sambar remains in production, now in its eighth generation — beginning with the seventh generation as a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet.” —Wikipedia

A rather unexpected find across from the office when I left work last night. It'd be interesting to know where it was sold new, I'd like to think it might have been Riddesldell Bros in Boxford, Suffolk, the dealers in the village where I grew up, as they did Subaru and Isuzu back then.
Animals like this need to be vigilant...this is Bengal Tiger country.

Rajasthan, India.
At least that's what I assume it is,as there were no badges other than the VW.
It had no plates either.It was in excellent condition; in fact it looked new.

The Subaru Sambar is a very small vehicle manufactured by Subaru, a division of Fuji Heavy Industries, specifically for the Japanese market. It is Japan's first Keitora (軽トラ), shorthand for "kei class truck" and is still in production. The Sambar is available in both microvan and Kei truck (Pickup truck style) to fulfill the Kei car guidelines. Still popular in the domestic market, the Sambar continues to be produced in Japan, China, Korea, as well as in Finland with a joint venture with Elcat Automotive.
Since its introduction in 1961, the Sambar has used a rear engine, rear wheel drive format (with optional 4WD from 1980 on), with the first two generations using the air-cooled engine from the Subaru 360, and later generations using the water-cooled engine from the Subaru Rex, Vivio and the Pleo.
