What a Minicab Van is

The U41V code marks this 1998 Minicab Van as a fifth-generation Minicab, built from 1991 to 1999. Seating for 2, with the engine under the bench and the load area taking everything behind it. The later Minicab looks semi-cab-over because Mitsubishi pushed the front axle forward for a crush zone, but the engine still sits under the driver's seat, so structurally it remained a cab-over.

Mechanical specification of this Minicab Van

Power comes from the 3G83, a 660cc unit. The 3G83 is a Mitsubishi design used right across the company's kei range, so it is a well-mapped and well-documented engine. The U41V runs a 5-speed manual gearbox.
