1974 Mini Pickup Truck's Driveline

Jim's right hand drive Mini truck is powered by an 848cc four-cylinder engine that uses regular gas, so it's definitely an economical drive. It has a 4-speed manual transaxle with front wheel drive, and its little 10-inch wheels match the truck's small stature.

Jim had to learn to shift with his left hand and soon adjusted to driving while sitting on the right side of the vehicle.
