This is a 1994 Subaru Sambar mini van from Japan. It was legally imported in accordance to all U.S. federal DOT and EPA rules earlier this year. It is legally titled and currently registered in Arizona with plate and 2020 tags. It is insured with collector car insurance which is less than $350 a year for full coverage!!

You should be able to register this in any state EXCEPT California. Please check your local state for emissions etc before bidding. In Arizona no emissions is required if you have collector car insurance. In most other states it is emissions exempt due to the 21 year old EPA rules. If you are not sure, ASK before you bid please!!

This Sambar has the rare aftermarket VW microbus conversion kit. Many of the Sambars I found in Japan that had this kit (very rare in Japan) were newer models not legal for import and also had the notoriouslyunreliable automatic CVT transmission.

This is a standard 5 speed manual model with no options except for Air Conditioning!! Van has the stock AM radio which you will most likely want to swap for something a bit more modern! Roll up windows, manual locks (both fronts lock and unlock together).

There is an added aftermarket Tachometer and a color back up camera. Aftermarket wheels, and of course the full VW front and rear kit with side skirts along with custom paint.

This Sambar has the standard seats, with the rear seat that folds flat so you can get a lot of cargo inside. BOTH rear sliding doors open and have windows that also roll down!! The drivers side sliding door has a problem with the latch so only opens from the inside currently.


Easy access to the engine from the rear bumper area or removable top cover inside the rear compartment.

Very low original miles, and the timing belt was already replaced at 75k Km along with a full service, so it is mechanically very solid. All electrical and lights work, very cold A/C.

Starts right up, does not smoke, idle strange or any abnormal noises, drives great. Good tires, stops and drives straight. NO LEAKS! It will go 55 mph so technicallyfreeway legal but these are geared VERY short so it is really only good for around town.

Flaws: There is a flaw in the paint on the left passenger door. There is a rip on the seat of the drivers bolster that should be a very easy fix as its minor. Various decals and stickers from prior owner you may or may not want to remove. The left mirror has a broken stalk and both are quite rusty so you will probably want to replace them. There is also significantrust around the chrome headlight trim rings.

Overall this a really clean Sambar, low original Km's, already legally imported and registered and has the rare 5 speed/ VW kit combo. Don't sleep on this one, you will likelynot see another one anytime soon!!!


Will sell locally or to high bidder, first come first served.

PLEASE NOTE eBay does not recognize short 11 digit Japanese VIN so I had to enter one from my Toyota, so autocheck if it shows is not for this vehicle obviously!

I have this listed locally for sale and reserve the right to end auction. Please contact me with any questions, if you are local you are welcome to come check it out in person. If you need more photos of something specific or are unsure about any part/condition of the Sambar...contact me!! One last thing...the front license plate is not included...sorry!
