The name evokes an image of an agile delivery boy, which is suitable for this walkthrough van with easy ingress/egress and loading/unloading of cargo. The van also serves as a billboard-on-wheels, which is consistent with the image of a messenger.
The large, smooth side panels could be painted on as billboards on wheels. The body featured a front-hinged door on the right, a sliding door on the left, and asymmetrical double doors in the back. Walkthrough access to the cargo cabin was possible though rather impractical, because the cabin height was only 1,390 mm. The available engines included a 1.5-liter gasoline unit and a 2-liter diesel (made available in May 1991). The choice of transmission was initially limited to a 5-speed manual column shifter, to which 3-speed automatic (for gasoline-engine model) and 4-speed automatic (for diesel model) column shifters were added in March 1991. The front passenger's seat could be folded and tumbled. The 2/5-seater model employed split folding rear seats, the left half of which could be tumbled sideways.
