This version of Mini Drive is much more common than then 1958 version. It has a "striped" backglass and a gear shift on the left-hand side to let players go fast or slow. Slow speeds would be better for younger children. The "Kasco" brand logo can be seen. Kasco is a brand of Kansai Seiki.
This model also adds dials by the steering wheel, and now costs 20¥ to play.
The first reference I have to this version is in the 1973 Machine Directory, which was published in late 1972:
This advertisement says the original came out 15 years ago, so 1972 seems like a good guess for the date of this game. I am just going to call it the "[new version]" since I can't find any official title.
