Yes Danny, I think it is, I got it very cheap off Ebay as it was very flimsy and broken in half. They are quite rare to get hold of in the UK, so I snapped it up. They usually (if you can find one) go for £250 or so.
And you are correct about the price, Subaru Sambars seem to be 5k and upwards.
They do indeed have a rear mounted air-cooled 600cc engine, but mine started life as a Daihatsu Hijet, and they come fitted with a water cooled mid mounted rear-wheel drive 1300cc engine.
This makes them surprisingly nippy. I used mine to collect my shell from Chris, and the long journey was fine with no problems, and it pulled the trailer no sweat.
