This 1990 Subaru Libero is a left-hand drive Euro market car that was recently purchased by the seller in Europe and imported to the US. About 100km have been added since, and a tune-up was also conducted for the 1.2L rear-mounted inline-three. The van is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and push-button four-wheel drive with a 5-speed manual transaxle. Features include period 4WD/Subaru graphics, a sunroof, sliding doors, and blue-checkered seating. This 4WD Subaru Van is now sold by a dealer in Morrisville, Pennsylvania with a clean Pennsylvania title.
These vans are based on the Subaru Sambar and were rebadged as a Libero for the European market. Larger bumpers out-classed it from Kei car sizing regulations, while the export market received 1000cc and 1200cc engine options for first-generation examples.
All van-body examples were sold with the high roof seen here, and features include dual sliding doors and a spacious floor-to-ceiling hatch. The seller is not aware of any prior body or paintwork. There is an area of paint bubbling shown near the left-rear fender.
The five-digit odometer shows 48,105 kilometers (~30k miles), and other instrumentation includes a 140 km/h speedometer. A 4WD logo illuminates on the dash when the system is engaged via the red push-button on the shifter. The seller has installed a replacement radio for the buyer.
The greenhouse features sliding windows in the side doors, a sunroof, and a high roof over the middle bench. Seating surfaces are upholstered in a blue/grey checker fabric.
Four-wheel drive Liberos were only sold with 1.2L inline-three cylinder engines, and the seller reportedly conducted a tune-up upon import to the US. First-generation four-wheel drive examples were only sold in Europe with a 5-speed, while the second generation cars were equipped with a CVT-type transaxle.
Additional undercarriage shots are provided in the gallery. The seller has provided a demonstration video and reports that the van can sustain speeds of 115km/h, or about 75 mph.
