Oddball Mitsubishi filth.......2 litre V6 auto.........

[PrinceRupert]

I like it. I expect it is the perfect combination of slow, thirsty and uninspiring to drive.  I might be wrong; please correct me if so.  I know little about these.

i like it...

[barefoot]

I nearly bought one of those, but it overheated badly on the test drive... So I never.

Disappointing incorrect….😂

I used to absolutely love me one of those. I ended up buying a Hyundai Coupe F2 (They clearly rotted or something, because it was actually a great - if not bonkers - car).

Nice buy.

[Rocket88]

They do like to dissolve…….this one seems ok

[gadgetgricey]

Think Jackie Chan jumped one onto a boat in a Police Story...

Always liked the look of them, especially in Red.

We have a rare rust free manual  V6 one on the fleet.

I do like the look of these.  I almost bought one once, but it had a borked alternator and I found out through some Googling that you basically have to dismantle the entire car to get to the alternator, so I passed.

My 1.8 (Spanish) I owned in about 2004. Superb handling. Loved pretty much everything about it. Ended up chopping it in for an absolutely mint WRX

[SRi05]

Hell yes, used to fantasise about owning one of these when I was younger 😂thought they were the coolest things about. 

When's it for sale? 

[Stanky]

Are these the ones that rev to 8000 RPM or something mental? Is it the MiVEC v6?

Nice!

I think the bloke who invented Gran Turismo on the PlayStation had one of these so the one in the game was always a bit quicker than you’d expect.

Nicely bought!

[Rocket88]

Having…. New timing belt, water pump etc. All fluids and filters … then up for sale

[Peter C]

I like it and I’m sure that it’s less than 4m long.

👍

4365 mm to be precise 😂

There ok actually.

Remove the o/s driveshaft and bottom arm and with much giggery,pokery the alternator comes out from below.

My son has had two of these the first one was really rotten where the chassis rails pass over axle and fuel tank,it was also rotten where sills met the floor.

It was that rust that gets into a seam and just expands the metal untill it crumbles away and wasn't worth the time and effort involved to rebuild it.

The V6 manual ones go well enough,rev to 8k and they are still cheap to buy,his current rot free one was £1600. 

Looking on the jdm forums really silly prices are being asked for anything 90's and slightly fast nowadays.

[Rocket88]

This is going to be £1800

Or it corrodes away down to size.

Why are you selling so soon? It looks ok.

There are some shiters that wouldn't have let a thing like overheating put them off 🤣

[Timewaster]

I remember for a while around 2000 my parents were living near Sleaford and whenever I visited there were loads of these around,  for a rare car they were everywhere. 

I guess there must have been a specialist garage or importers nearby.
