Yes, that's the name. I saw this parked outside of the Chemical Brothers store (I'm sure law enforcement has looked into this operation for obvious reasons) and had to take some pics. These are imported, used, from Japan... see the right-hand drive? These are three-cylinder urban delivery trucks. I particularly like the fold down sides and back, making it a flat bed. Cool.

That's pretty cool. I wonder why they're not marketed in the US?

Offset barrier crash testing, perhaps?

Your probably right. They don't look too crashworthy.

That particular vehicle is probably legal to be brought in now, because it's over 20(?) or 25(?) years old.

Whatever that time frame is.

I see right hand drive Nissan Skylines, fairly regularly, these days, with the straight billed cap, vape crowd.

I've seen right hand drive Jeeps & Subarus delivering rural mail for over 20 years. Yesterday, the mailman had what I think is a right hand drive Dodge van. Forty years ago the local mailman Dan retrofitted a Jeep with a chain-driven right-side steering wheel & a set of rod-controlled foot pedals. This was his personal vehicle

The Chemical Brothers had a van version of this inside... yes, it's legal to import but registering for road us it is another thing. They need to install a catalytic converter.

A correction needs to be made..... The name of the business is CHEMICAL *GUYS*.... they're an auto detailing supply in Gardena, Calif.
