According to Steve Nendick, Cummins' Communications Director for Europe, Middle East, Africa and CIS, "We never like to let a challenge go by unanswered so we got to thinking maybe we could fit the QSK78 into an original Austin Mini. It proved to be a bit tricky to fit under the bonnet but our engineers came up with a more creative solution."
