The Appeal

The Daihatsu Midget has been legendary for over seventy years - but unusually, it's the modern reimagining that's truly stood the test of time. Introduced in 1996, the Midget II created a much-improved iteration of a familiar formula, and one that continues to be an invaluable addition to small enterprises. In Japan, it's particularly popular as a barman's keg-carrier, and the rest of the world has become rather affectionate of them, too.

This 1997 example is a remarkable find, presenting in very good condition with an astonishingly low mileage of just 6377km. Purpose-built for navigating tight urban environments, the Midget II's ultra-compact dimensions and clever design make it both a practical utility vehicle and a distinctive collector's piece. Recently serviced and presented in green, this particular Combi Midget is bound to prove an amiable addition to any fleet.
