That galant sapporo also has the electronic suspension ... I'd be amazed if it's working properly, the struts were obscenely expensive last I heard.

Oh, and if it was in doubt, they have the softest velour ever.

Ooh yes! The Merc's going, this is what I want.

 

Fantastic colour scheme, automatic gearbox, banging sound system and oh yes: one scissor door.

I'd rather be tag-team bummed by the Aylestone St James front three than be seen driving that.

Bought an Escort wiper blade for £250 and want something to go with it?

To be fair it looks class, but £175+£30 delivery is insane.

That looks silly, dangerous and stupid.

 

How can I hide it from the missus?

Under the stairs, behind the hoover. Should fit

These Galant Sapporos are apparently excellent, and so rare that I struggled even to find a photo of one for that ‘forgotten fast cars’ thread a while ago. I’d be really quite tempted if I hadn’t just bought a Honda.

 

I’ve driven one of the less sporting variants and it was by far the most comfortable thing ever. God knows why I didn’t buy it; it was in great nick and only cost about £300. But I was twentysomething and stupid so I bought a fucked Scirocco instead.

That Galant is being sold by Neil Philpotts, a thoroughly decent bloke by all accounts who's been around Mitsubishis and raced them for donkeys years.

 

He's pretty local to me, so I can always go over and have a look for anyone.

But as previously suggested, knows hit stuff & wouldn't appear to sell shit.

He works the pants off his Straion at the local prom stages, and his lads just started in a Micra too.

 

Anyway about the car, looks a solid and comfy old thing.

I do own a Galant Saporro like the one Junkman posted, but mine has a borked engine, and thankfully standard suspension.

It's the single cam 4-pot 4g64 2.4l … If anyone knows where I can get either a complete engine or a bottom end, give me a shout.

Sideways photos and rough paintwork but this £350 Tomcat is tickling my want bone. More info requested from seller

Am in dialogue with the seller. Spears and reapers because of shit bodywork and poor interior. Blokey took it in P/EX and has only driven it 5 miles. Have asked to view it on Saturday (earliest I can get over in daylight hours because work shit), assuming it hasn't be snapped up by then.

 

If the engine is good who gives a fart what it looks like inside and out - it's a first year 220 Coupe in Polynesian Turquoise, that's good enough for me....
