SUMMARY

The one-year-only 1998 Evo V GSR is a rare sight on UK roads and this wonderfully presented, Scotia White example is on offer at a tempting guide.

DESCRIPTION

  • Dating from 1998, this fifth generation Lancer GSR was imported from Japan in 2017, as a 'Grade 4' car with an impeccable history and has been part of our vendor's personal Collection since purchase
  • A one-year-only model, its 2-litre, DOHC, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine now used an upgraded intercooler, enlarged nozzle area in the twin-scroll turbocharger, lighter pistons, an upgraded radiator and oil-cooler to produce 280bhp
  • The Evo V featured a bigger bodyshell giving Mitsubishi the opportunity to extend the previous model’s platform, increasing brake and wheel size, adding 10mm to its track and displaying, for the first time, flared arches and much more aggressive styling
  • Equipped with climate control, electric windows and mirrors, sport seats and alloys, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire perhaps the best example on the market today
  • Finding a car as original as this, with such impeccable history, is becoming harder by the day and so this should be a very tempting opportunity
