1998 Mitsubishi EVO 5
153000Kms, this is a mix of Kms & Miles. True mileage is approx. 115000 miles.
Imported by Aberdeenshire imports in 2015. The car was then sold to the person I bought it from in Mar 2016. During the year he owned the car, he sold it to a mate then re-bought the vehicle which is why it has 4 former keepers.
I did manage to buy the original auction sheet once I had the car. Sadly this showed a mileage discrepancy with its import mileage. I have addressed this in mileage I have quoted. It does show the vehicle as a grade 4 and will include this with other documentation.
The car is a standard EVO 5 GSR with the following upgrades/enhancements.
Mapped to approx. 353bhp, printout from previous owner.
Re-trimmed steering wheel.
Re-trimmed doorcards.
AMS Plug cover.
Tomei oil filler cap
Cusco 3 point brace powder coated black
Cusco under body front brace
Evolution Rocker cover in black with silver EVOLUTION lettering.
Genuine Ralliart front floor mats.
MLR Evolution Boot carpet.
Mishimoto Radiator.
Mtec front discs with CL RC5+ front brake pads. (will also include fast road Pagid front discs & pads).
NR Brake cooling ducts.
Rear spoiler & nacta duct painted black.
New exhaust manifold cover & front Mitsubishi badge OE

The car comes with all the above receipts and paperwork. It also has a Mitsubishi service book which is stamped and up to date to correspond with the work done.
The car has been undersealed and wax oiled down the insides of the chassis rails from when I purchased to car in 2016. Each year the car has its MOT at the same garage where the underbody is checked. I can organise ramp time for any and all inspection of the underside of the car. This would have to be arranged in advance if you were to come and view the vehicle.
The exterior of the car is in good condition for its age, mileage and year. The front bumper had a complete restoration in early 2021 when the car was off the road due to the coolant issue. At that time the bumper was removed, repainted and rebuilt using all new OE metalwork from Mitsubishi and RossSport. This included a new crash bar, all new support metalwork. New intercooler washer jets @ £10 each x 4 plus spring clips, specialist bolts, fog lights and brackets stripped and powder coated black. The only non OE is the lower meshes as even I baulked at nearly £400 for 3 bits of chicken wire lol.
I have owned EVO,s for over 18yrs now, I am a member of the MLR (MitsubishiLancerRegister) and have been for as long as I’ve been an owner. This is not a show car nor a dog. It is a lovely enthusiast owned vehicle. It is used for 6 months of the year then put away in a carcoon for the winter, this has been it’s life since my purchase in 2016. I have probably forgotten something but if you wish to know anything about the car I may have missed please ask. Test drives will be done by myself, no exception. You buy it you drive it.
£24995 with the current climate and the wide variation in prices of EVO's this is open to serious offers . If it does not sell by Sept 30th it will be back in its bubble for another winter.
Finally the car is 24yrs old and has age related marks. I have kept the paint original as far as I can, there are the odd marks a couple of tiny dinks but nothing horrible.
