Today we're driving Alex's 1990 Subaru Sambar Kei Van! Not only has it been converted into a one-of-a-kind VW Van lookalike, but it's hiding a lot more under the surface than we ever could've imagined! Brake fluid in the dashboard, a gas tank you have to squat to fill, the list goes on and on. It is one of the original Kei vans to grace the streets of Japan, before finally making its way here to Canada as a JDM import. Enjoy!

    Take a look at the wonderful Honda N- Box a real stunner - Also great for us in the U.K. to import because we also drive on the left as they do in Japan. The only legal modification is to fit a rear Fog light/lamp and fit a stick over speedometer reader from kilometres to Miles per hour 😎

    If anybody wants one of these and you decide to get it imported to the U.S. make sure there is no VW emblems anywhere on it mine just got flagged at the port for counterfeit trademark and it’s costing me a lot extra to get it shipped back to Japan just to get the emblem taken off and shipped right back here. And be careful also because the seller of mine edited out the VW emblem on all the pictures so I didn’t even know it had one on there so be careful. Learn from my costly mistake.

    Well it's a very small motor, and to get up to highway speeds the motor has to wind up to 6500 RPM, so the motor is just screaming. Bigger tires should help mileage.
