Importing my Kei Van | Summer Project Series

The process of purchasing and importing this car took several months but it was worth the wait. Prepare yourself for unbridled joy as I see my Kei car for the first time.
This video is NOT a how to and does not offer any advice on importing a Kei vehicle of your own.

I got my 97 sambar truck and 97 Sambar van from Japan .I live in Florida so it was a 5 hour drive to the Jax port.I rented a trailer and picked them up I like these vehicles a lot.

your editing is so fun to watch! also glad you kept the video of you getting so excited when you first saw it. i was just as giddy when i picked up my truck at the port

Thank you so much, this is such a wonderful compliment. I've been making rally videos for years which are more of a serious docuseries style. I wanted to really have fun with this video series and get creative. My goal is to keep the Van as the star of the show but still keep those human elements of passion, happiness, and joy because we could all use more of that!

What a charming car!

[@Cooperautoworks]

Thank you so much! You should also watch the recap episode to see it restored. It's even more charming now!

Thank you so much! So exciting to have other Sambar friends!

I live in Illinois too. I want one of these. Were you able to license and insure it? It's awesome. I can understand why you are so excited. Enjoy it.

もしも車が自分の気持ちを言えれば 25年も昔の車が海外で使用してくれて　喜んでいると…思う

660cc, what is the top speed you can go?

[@Cooperautoworks]

With the gearing in MY van I can comfortably do about 90kph or 55mph and that is plenty fast for me. I have no desire to stress the engine just to see how fast I could push it. There are different models with different options like superchargers, different gearing, ect so the top speed of a Dias in general can vary. Mine is very basic with the exception of AC which I never use because it pulls too much power off the already small engine. Plus I'm a windows down kind of gal.

日本の車は2年ごとに検査しているのでコンディションは良いと思います
