Title: Info please
Post by: gsun on April 05, 2015, 08:19:43 PM
Does anybody know anything about this bus? It was in Victoria a few months ago in the Oak Bay area. Where does it come from?

They have been around since the late 90's. Just a Japanese import Van with a fiberglass nose skin and paint job as mentioned. Nothing vw about it but the emblem.

That's what I thought as I have seen them without the emblem, but thought I would check. Thanks!

It's a Subaru Sambar.  I've seen a few around Vancouver.
Here's one in the classifieds for a closer look haha
I'm not allowed to post external links yet I guess, but there is one on the Vancouver Craigslist if you want to take a closer look ;)  Search "Subaru Sambar VW"

You have to pay to pose, that's a bargain for those who don't know to add oil until the light comes on, all the hippie goodness but with modern technology, surf's up!!
