1983 Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800

A highly usable example of Mitsubishi’s exciting modern classic sports saloon, showing just 41,548 kilometres on the odometer. Under the bonnet is the turbocharged 1.8-litre inline-four, delivering 99kW / 133hp to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The car is supported by a raft of Japanese paperwork verifying its mileage, and was reportedly graded ‘4B’ at auction. This Lancer is finished in Polar White over a grey cabin featuring three synthetic suede-trimmed seats as well as a cloth-trimmed Recaro driver’s seat with a patterned centre. It sports a set of 15-inch wheels, shod with recently fitted Grenlander tyres. The specification includes a MOMO steering wheel, electrically adjustable mirrors, an uprated exhaust, and a larger intercooler pipeing. The car is accompanied by its Japanese history, auction sheet, and spare wheel. The paintwork is said to be in good condition, with small chips and blemishes reported around the bodywork. Moving inside, there are marks on the centre console, creasing on the front passenger seat, signs of use on the floormats and some of the main touchpoints, a very minor mark towards the back of the headliner, and age-related fading throughout. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The car was last serviced at around 41,000 kilometres, which included removing and cleaning the fuel tank, servicing the injectors and air conditioning system, and replacing the fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, ignition leads, air cleaner, and fuel hoses and clamps. The timing belt was replaced in 2018. This is a well-kept example of the performance-focused Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800 GSR Turbo, first released in 1980 as the precursor to the modern-day Lancer Evolution sports saloons. Recently serviced and reported to be in sound mechanical health, it would make a natural addition to any JDM enthusiast’s stable.
