I have been buying metal from a supply house in Tolleson AZ. The owner's son has a 1969 Sambar in the yard. He is looking to fix it up. From the looks of it, the engine compartment protrudes into the bed area (weird). And WOW i thought my Kei truck was small! I think primarily he needs new wheels. The wheels are split and the bolt spacing is like nothing ive seen. I pointed him to this web site so hopefully he will chime in here sometime. Out of sheer curiosity, if anyone knows where parts can be found for a Sambar of this vintage, i would be interested to know.... op:
Would that be a 360? I think doing some searches under "mini car" might yield something. I know I ran across something on these a while back.
