Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII FQ-300

The FQ-300 was the UK-market Evo VIII, built for Britain and sold in limited numbers with a numbered plaque. This is a genuine UK car and a genuine FQ model, finished in a deep purple that the dealer says was repainted to a high standard.

It has been modified with a mix of Evo IX and MR parts: Evo IX bumpers with a carbon splitter, MR lights and 400-style carbon mirrors, a carbon rear spoiler and gold Rota 18-inch wheels. Under the skin are Tein adjustable coilovers, Brembo calipers with new discs, an HKS exhaust with decat, a Mishimoto front-mount intercooler, HKS hardpipes, a Blitz dump valve and a strut brace. Inside are leather bucket seats, a Momo wheel and an HKS turbo timer.

The page lists 75,000 miles in the key facts, though one line in the equipment list reads differently. The car was recorded as Category D in 2007, which the dealer cites as the reason for the price.
