Gas Delicas?

Post by jiminbc »

Can anyone tell me if all the Delicas in Canada are diesel? Has anyone come across a gas Delica? I'm wondering if there is a market for gas versions.
Thanks!

Almost all the Delicas imported in to Canada are diesel.

I can't see why anyone in their right mind would buy a gas one, the diesels have all the advantages.

But if you insist you can find them. There's been some imported here (few) and they are available at the Japan auction.

Here's the code for them:

P35W - High Roof model with option of Crystal Lite roof
P25W - Low Roof model
P24W - Gas (not diesel) model
'93 Nissan Patrol
'94 Mitsubishi Pajero

What advantage do you perceive? I see at least three disadvantages: inferior fuel economy, inferior torque (these things are stump-pulling 4x4s, after all), and possible issues with AirCare.

I've always figured the Delicas looked a little (or a lot) like those snow coaches...
