Subaru Forrester, got no specs but it looks very Bongoish.
It may just be a concept jobby, wondering about the sliding door and the spats colliding.
Just thinking how to jack the Wasp up! :lol:

The occasional 4wd Delica comes up with a (manual i think) lifting roof. Always fancied one of those bad boys (though not the mpg or the suspected lesser motorway driving comfort)

I recall the Russian Bongo owners fitting some seriously oversize all weather tyres that raised it a fair bit. I think they like them for snow and ice and going fishing through holes they bored in a frozen lake (i kid you not). Looked quite cool (bit like the Delica). Hate to think what handling at speed might be like though with the raised C of G and the Bongos narrow track. Storm Doris anyone? :lol:
