I can vividly remember the first Renault Espace. I’d never seen anything so wildly futuristic.

I thought the Renault Espace and Scenic were the coolest thing ever.

Pretty sure it’s a 4th generation Sambar, Subaru’s kei truck/van. They are awesome: rear engine/rwd, and the truck version loads from the side instead of the rear.

I concur, plus one, etc.

What the hell is that? I want it.

Your cooling system was so on point that you, instead of adding a temperature controlled fan switch, used a cheap toggle switch that is very easy to accidently move to the off position...... makes percect sense....

Here is a two photos of all the in the racks at my workshop, they are know as Subaru 1235 engines. As you can see there are plenty of original castings.
