About this car

This is a 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI, a freshly imported Japanese-market car powered by the familiar 4G63 turbocharged two-litre engine and driving all four wheels through a manual gearbox. The Evo VI sits at the end of the run of 1990s rally-bred Lancers that are now firmly collectable.

It is finished in silver with the original blue Recaro interior. Modifications include Evo VII alloy wheels, adjustable HKS coilovers, Brembo calipers with vented, grooved discs, a Kakimoto stainless cat-back exhaust, an aluminium radiator, a manual boost controller and an intercooler water spray. The dealer estimates 300-320 bhp, though this is not a measured figure.

The page quotes 109,532 km (about 65,700 miles) in the specification list, against 60,000 in the key facts, so the mileage should be checked. The car comes with three keys and Japanese-language service history. The dealer reports an underbody free of rust and a clean original body.
