About this car

This is a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, a recent Japanese import finished in yellow and showing 73,000 miles. The Evo 8 is the car that brought the Lancer's rally-bred four-wheel-drive turbo formula into its sharpest early-2000s form, and clean, unmolested examples are increasingly hard to find.

It is no longer standard. A remap by an Evo specialist is said to give roughly 370 bhp, with a switchable pop-and-bang setting. Other changes include an Evo 9 front bumper, carbon bonnet, Apexi exhaust, Tein coilovers, Brembo calipers, Recaro seats and a 3-port boost solenoid, plus a rear spoiler with carbon blade and a vortex generator.

The dealer reports a recent cambelt and full service by a specialist, with receipts on file, and an oil change that included the diff and AYC. The underbody is described as unwelded and rust-free, with no rust advisories on the MOT, and 12 months' MOT will be included.
