Okay, so I'm in Canadian Tire's parking lot the other day, parked next to a SpaceGear. Talk to the fellow when he comes out (it's his second Delica), and then I go inside. I come back out and there's a StarWagon, another SpaceGear and there at the other end of the lot - a 1993 Delica, LWB, cargo van. Sliding doors on both sides, 2WD, 5sp manual, 4D56 (non-turbo) with A/C (cool), 195/70R15 tires (little bit smaller than the StarWagon) - basically it's the work or simpler version of our beloved 4WD getaway vehicles.

Neil's a window washer and roof cleaner, so I had him come over to my house to take the moss of my roof while I crawled around his van. When he finished with my roof, I helped him change his oil and pointed out a couple of things to him. He was quite excited to learn there is a discussion group on the 'net, so I expect he'll wander by here at some point to introduce himself.

Otherwise, here's a couple of pics of his ride while it was in my driveway.

I know Mardy's got one.

There's quite a few in Richmond/Vancouver area that have business signs on them. One glass shop has a few of them in their fleet and one tire shop that I know of.

They are pretty roomy and very long.

interesting, I'd always thought that the dual sliding doors were only available on the LHD version, interesting to see an RHD with them.
