About this car

The Lancer Evolution IV was the first Evo to gain Mitsubishi's Active Yaw Control, and it remains one of the most sought-after of the early Japanese-market rally homologation specials. This 1997 saloon is a manual, four-wheel-drive import with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.

It is finished in Graphite grey and shows 45,000 miles. The dealer says the car was imported with 46,000 km and that the UK MOT history supports the low mileage, alongside the original Japanese export paperwork.

The seller reports an underbody free of rust, including the suspension mounts. Recent work includes a new cambelt, water pump and spark plugs. The car is to be sold with a full MOT and a service before collection.
