Highlights
- Fantastic 3l V6 twin turbo engine
- Classic 90’s GT styling looks superb
- MOT’d and ready to drive
The Appeal
The Mitsubishi 3000GT is the rarer non-JDM sibling to the infamous GTO. WIth a fantastic 3l V6 twin turbo engine up front and a wide, low body the 3000GT is a quick car that’ll put a smile on anyone's face.
A true 90’s legend the 3000GT was sought after at the time and now they have become even harder to find. This 3000GT would be a perfect candidate for restoring one of these fantastic cars. Running and with six months MOT it only needs a little work to get back onto the road and whilst it would benefit from some cosmetic work, we think that once you drive it the only thing you’ll want to do is go and find some twisty A roads!
