Description
A very reluctant sale after many years of ownership. This Evo VIII FQ‑300 is one of the most original, carefully preserved examples you will find, supported by an extraordinary 24 service stamps, with a further service now being completed. This includes timing belts, and the ATC pump has just returned from a full professional overhaul, ensuring the drivetrain is in excellent health.
Long‑Term, Caring Ownership
Only two registered owners from new.
Over the past five years the car has seen very limited mileage, but has been started and brought to temperature regularly.
Never driven in winter, always stored correctly, and never abused.
Underside professionally wax‑protected on our purchase, with top‑ups every second year.
No attempts to hide anything — simply honest, preventative care throughout its life.

Usage & Life Story
Some years the car has covered no miles at all; other years only a few thousand. Mileage has always been secondary to preservation. It has been a pleasure to own, drive and care for — and it shows in every detail.
