1969 Subaru Sambar 360 Van: Tiny Green Kei Car Up for Auction in the US

A 1969 Subaru Sambar 360 van, painted in its original bright lime green and configured with left-hand drive, is currently listed for auction in the United States. The diminutive vehicle, which has been in the country since at least 1973, is powered by a tiny 356 cc two-cylinder, two-stroke engine that produces just 25 horsepower, sending power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.

2 inches in width. Despite its compact size, the Sambar offers two rows of seats and a usable trunk, something the Fiat lacks. It rides on 10-inch steel wheels with black centers and green rims, wrapped in 145/80 Falken tires.

The odometer shows 32,000 miles, though its accuracy is uncertain. Bidding on the Bring a Trailer auction has already reached five figures, indicating strong demand for this quirky, personality-filled van that stands out from today's more uniform automotive offerings.
