On the S100-series Hijet

The S100 codes cover the rear-drive Hijets Daihatsu built from 1994 to 1999, with the 659cc EF three-cylinder under the cab floor. This is the generation that gave the Hijet its characteristic forward-set cab and long bed, and Daihatsu bodied the same chassis as a flat-bed truck, a panel van, a deck van and a long list of factory work conversions. Few vehicles of any size have been built in more variations.

Odometer at 72,900 miles, call it 117,300 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

What it is for

A two-wheel-drive van gives you the same footprint as the equivalent truck with a dry, lockable, weatherproof load bay instead of an open deck. Nothing is lost mechanically — the engine, chassis and running gear are the truck's — and what is gained is the ability to leave tools and stock in it.

This van is quoted on enquiry. Vans take a different freight rate from flat-bed trucks because of their height, so we would rather work the figure out against your actual delivery address than publish one that does not survive contact with the quote.

Paperwork and shipping

Built in 1998, it sits the far side of the 25-year federal import cut-off. Customs entry, import documentation and title work are all done here, and we arrange transport to any state. You can also watch the walkaround video above before deciding. Ask us for a price and include your delivery state; we will quote the vehicle and the transport together.
