It was actually rear-driven, and it was called the "Model F" here in Norway, and I
believe the rest of Europe too. I believe it had the wonderfully original name
"Wagon" in the US:

This one is known as the L300 here, Delica in Nippon and down under, AFAIK. One
other vehicle to carry the highly original "Wagon" moniker in the US.

Also Ford Europe (Transit), Toyota (Hiace), Nissan (Urvan), Isuzu (Midi) and Mazda
(E2000) had Vans in the Vanagon size and weight class, none of these were never
sold in the US though, AFAIK.
