You may get confused by this 1994 Subaru Samba currently bidding on ebay UK for £1,995 GBP ($3000 USD), but it is actually a Subaru Sambar van that has been modified to look like a VW Type 2 Samba - hence the name change. There were various "nicknames" for the different Type 2 variations; Samba (deluxe trim), Kombi (half passenger / half cargo), Microbus (regular station wagon), Single Cab / Double Cab (pickups)...and so on. "Transporter" was the official/unofficial VW nickname for the whole range of Type 2 vehicles, but this vehicle is a small rear engine Subaru kei-car.
