The Toyota MiniAce was a small utility vehicle built by Toyota from November 1967 until November 1975.[1] It shared many parts with the Toyota Publica, especially the Publica P20 Pickup. In Japan, it was sold through the Toyota Corolla Store and Toyota Auto Store networks. Because it shares many parts with the popular Toyota Publica and the highly collectable Toyota Sports 800 most MiniAces have been used for parts and very few survive.[2] Its exterior dimensions and engine displacement, while very small, do not conform to "kei car" Japanese government regulations.
