About this car

The Evo V was the first Lancer Evolution to take the wider-bodied, more aggressive look that defined the car for rally-bred road cars, and the GSR is the road-focused version, with a 2.0-litre turbo 4G63, five-speed manual and four-wheel drive with Active Yaw Control. This is a 1998 car in Scotia White, a recent import from Japan.

The notable point is the underside. The dealer says the floor has no underseal and shows bare, rust-free factory finish, which is unusual for an Evolution of this age. The car is described as unmodified apart from aftermarket alloy wheels and a sports steering wheel.

It shows 83,000 miles. The paint is said to be glossy and the bodywork straight, with the interior in very good condition.
