Background: the Minicab Dump

This one is recorded in White, though the Minicab's natural habitat is a Japanese trade fleet in plain white. Four-wheel-drive Minicabs were specified for exactly the conditions this one was built for — wet fields, gravel tracks and loading yards. Mitsubishi supplied the Minicab to Nissan to sell as the Clipper from 2003, so the same truck ran in Japan under two badges. By 1997 the Minicab had been in production for thirty years, and the design had long since stopped needing to prove itself.

1997 Mitsubishi Minicab Dump: engine, gearbox and running gear

The engine is recorded as the 3G83. The 3G83 is a Mitsubishi design used right across the company's kei range, so it is a well-mapped and well-documented engine. Gearbox on this Minicab Dump is a 5-speed gearbox, driving four-wheel drive.

Where a Minicab Dump earns its keep

Tipping beds like this are what turn a two-person unloading job into a one-person one. What you see is what we have: a White Minicab Dump on our lot, not a listing for a vehicle still in an auction hall. It is listed at $6,900. Everything about a kei vehicle follows from the class rules — width, height, displacement and the shape of the cab are all downstream of the same regulation.
