Description
Little Bella is a 1200cc 1998 Subaru Domingo Van.
For those of you not familiar this is a tough 4x4 originally built for light commercial use targeted primarily at South East Asia and Japan.
There was a craze some 25 years ago in Japan where they made panels to give these trucks a cosmetic makeover. They spotted the resemblance in shape to the iconic T1 that by making some subtle adjustments they could re-create a mini T1.
When I purchased the van in 2018 I had a complete colour coded respray in tribute to the original 1958 T1 - Palm Green/ Sand Green (PGSG).
The van originally came as a 7 seater bus but I added removable units so it could be used as a campervan. I also had a custom built wooden slatted Retro Roof Rack made to order.
As a camper it can sleep 1 or 2 people. As a van it’s a 7 seater. The van has air conditioning front and back, tinted rear windows, front and rear cameras with a reversing camera. This is a pristine example of a rare Japanese modern classic.
