Price reflects the cosmetic condition. The Atrai Classic is the version of the Daihatsu van that most people stop and ask about. Round headlights, a chrome retro grille, and a shape that looks like it came from a 1960s European catalog, built on a mechanical package that is pure Japanese work van underneath. Let’s start with the honest part. The paint is tired. It has faded and peeled across the body, worst on the roof, and there is surface rust on the paint where it has lifted. It is a candidate for a repaint, and the price reflects that. Underneath the van there is no rust. The structure is clean. Everything else is in very good shape. The interior is close to perfect, fully cleaned, with no odors. The doors open and close without issues. It drives very well, tracks straight, and the 4WD with high and low range engages properly. Cold A/C. 5-speed manual. The engine is the EF, a 660cc three-cylinder with a DOHC head fed by a carburetor. Simple, proven, and easy to work on with basic tools. This is the high roof body with four seats, which gives the cabin a surprising amount of headroom for a vehicle this size. Fresh service before listing, new tires balanced, new battery. CarPlay is not installed, but we can install it for you before delivery. Mileage: 80,092 miles (128,895 km). Interesting Facts The Atrai Classic was sold only in Japan and only from 1997 to 1999. It was Daihatsu’s answer to the Subaru Sambar Dias Classic, the retro kei van that started the trend in 1990. Under the retro body, the Atrai shares its chassis and drivetrain with the Daihatsu Hijet van of the same generation, so mechanical parts are the same as one of the most common kei vans ever built. The S130V chassis code marks the 4WD version. The rear-wheel-drive Atrai of the same generation carries the S120V code.

If you made it this far, here is a little bonus for you. Retro was a full-blown craze in 1990s Japan. By the late ’90s even humble kei work vans were getting round headlights and chrome grilles. Subaru started it with the Sambar Dias Classic, Daihatsu answered with the Atrai Classic, and for a few years the delivery vans of Japan looked like they had driven out of the 1960s.
