The Appeal
No Galant VR4, no Lancer Evo, it’s as simple as that. These ultra-rare cars were the original rally-inspired Mitsubishis, the ones that introduced the 2L 4G63 turbocharged engine, AWD system and, frankly, sheer gravel-scrabbling class that made the Evo such a world beater.
With Evo values in the stratosphere, the Galant ‘Viscous Realtime 4WD’ is the canny choice of enthusiasts. Yet these cars are extremely rare. This Japanese-market car arrived in the UK around 10 years ago and has been in dry storage since. The buyer acquired it recently and has undertaken some recommissioning, including alternator, battery, exhaust downpipe and reconditioning the steering rack. A recently expired clean MOT supports the sense of a structurally sound car.
There is more work to do, plus some attention to the bodywork required. For the right enthusiast, here is a chance to buy Mitsubishi’s ‘ground zero’ rally-to-road rebel. 4-mitsubishi-galant-vr4-high-res.jpeg322.54 KB
