Toyota Lite Ace – small cab-over van below the HiAce, petrol and diesel engines from 1,290 to 1,975 cm³, 47 to 51 kW, unladen weights of 1,040 to 1,260 kg
The Lite Ace is Toyota's small cab-over van, introduced in 1970 as a compact addition below the HiAce and built since then across several generations as a panel van, minibus and pickup. The range largely shares its platform with the near-identical TownAce, sold in Japan through a different dealer channel; chassis codes such as KM on the generation captured here denote a diesel engine from Toyota's C series. Some of the vehicles recorded in the register carry Dutch designations such as Gesloten Bestel, meaning closed cargo body, pointing to vehicles imported from the Netherlands. The COMM or Commercial designations are pure cargo versions without a rear bench, D in the model name marks the diesel engine.

The register lists here 16 versions with outputs from 47 to 51 kW, displacements from 1,290 to 1,975 cm³ from four-cylinders, unladen weights from 1,040 to 1,260 kg, gross weights from 1,810 to 2,205 kg, lengths from 3,900 to 4,000 mm and widths from 1,630 to 1,690 mm.
For decades the Lite Ace was one of Japan's best-selling small vans, important for trades, delivery services and families wanting a compact load carrier with high payload; in Europe it arrived mainly through grey imports and the Dutch and British markets.
On used examples of the cab-over generations, rust on the floor pan, sills and wheel arches, the condition of the front axle under the driver's seat, the clutch and automatic transmission on the relevant versions, and parts supply, which for this generation runs through specialist importers, count.
