This will explain it https://www.carscoops.com/2019/01/daihatsu-copen-gr-sport-study-gains-gazoo-racings-stamp-approval/-> ...
^ I'm confused, is this very Copen branded as a Daihatsu? Or as a Gazoo Racing (GR)?

Do not think that mere size can keep you from that #vanlife lifestyle.

I totally want to get a Kei-van and do it up '70s style with a Boris Vallejo fantasy painting airbushed on the side and shag carpeting inside. Oh, and the diamond porthole window. Gotta have the diamond porthole window on my Subaru Sambar.

I'm quite into that six-wheeled Suzuki and the one below it with pop-out sides like a full-size RV. I feel like the Midget II possibly isn't the most serious of things because I genuinely don't think that vehicle is big enough to sleep in. Unless you're at the very top of that arrangement with your feet above the cab. Like a wheeled Tokyo capsule hotel.

Looks like it does come with a bed. http://hatudouki2gt.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2014/08/2014-86-1003.html

Oh my word
As if it wasn't awesome enough already, it comes with a tube amplifier!

Another of that Suzuki Twin, with a close relative.
And some S660 Neo Classic.

I think Daihatsu Midgets might be my favourite kei car (and Instagram is a fabulous place to find them).

Imagine if there was such thing as a Honda Today Type R, a Mira TR-XX-slaying pocket rocket. Here's the closest thing to that fantasy.

I like how hilariously large the Integra R's seats look in such a tiny car. They're already pretty big for the Integra!

More Midgets, both real and concept. Love the well-used look of that blue one with the surfboard.

There seem to be a few floating around the UK all for pretty much that purpose. Occasionally you see a clean and tidy one for sale but I suspect they all end up as mobile advertising, which is a shame.
There is one motor racing circuit somewhere in the UK that has one as a paddock vehicle or similar. Can't remember which though - possibly Castle Combe? It'd be a fun thing to find hidden away.

I know right? I could see myself knocking around Huntington Beach in one.
Not that I surf. Just a cool way of getting from apartment to beachfront. It's a shame Daihatsu never produced the Basket concept, which would serve a similar purpose I feel. Part Mira, part Mehari, part Panda.
