I think you're talking about the L300 Exceed. It's a smaller version of the L300 Versa Van, with similar seating to the Mazda E2000 Power Van (2+3+3+2 jump seats). This has a 2-liter 16-valve carb gas engine. The Delica followed this one. It's just a longer version with 4 rows, extended bumper, and a 2.5-liter diesel engine. By the way, both of these are not Subic imports.

If you ask me, an L300 diesel should be a more practical buy. It has the torque when you need to carry a lot of persons and cargo, but returning respectable fuel figures compared to the Lite Ace and Vanette. The only problem I can see here is the column-mounted shifter.
