Under the skin of a 1998 Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD

The engine is recorded as the 3G83 — 660cc 3-cylinder. By 1998 the 3G83 had been in Mitsubishi's kei range long enough that its weak points and its strong ones were both thoroughly known. This Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD is fitted with a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low.

Background: the Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD

The U42T code marks this 1998 Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD as a fifth-generation Minicab, built from 1991 to 1999. The engine is recorded as the 3G83, a Mitsubishi design from the company's own kei engine range. Minicabs sold into Japanese agriculture and light construction, and the factory list reflects it: a dedicated "Minori" farm specification, low-range transfer options and heavy-duty dump beds.

Practicalities of this Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD

A 660cc engine will not tow across a state, but it will do yard, field and site work all day on very little fuel. Japanese makers also held to a voluntary 64PS ceiling for the class. We describe what is recorded and nothing more. If a figure is not on this page, it is because we do not have it on file.
