THE APPEAL
The V60 series, the third generation of the Mitsubishi Shogun – was designed in-house by the Japanese maker and debuted in the Japanese domestic market in 1999, with other markets including the UK following in late 2000.
It was redesigned with a lower, wider stance and innovative monocoque construction with an integral ladder frame chassis, to retain the strength and off-road ability of a traditional separate chassis model.
The fuel tank was relocated between the front and rear axles to improve weight distribution and improve ground clearance, while the Super Select 4 (SS4) 4WD system was further refined and made fully electronic, meaning the vehicle didn't have to be in gear to switch between drive modes.
Alongside rack and pinion steering (as opposed to the recirculating ball system on previous generations), the new Shogun also offered a choice of three transmissions; a five speed manual, a four speed INVECS-II automatic and a five speed INVECS-II tiptronic.
This one is a very late example, a short-wheelbase in off-road ready ‘Warrior’ spec, with the 3.2-litre DI-D diesel engine and traditional auto gears.
It’s also the perfect car for dog lovers, as you’ll learn.
