A smart example of the modern classic Japanese performance coupe, finished in an appealing colour combination and recently benefitting from a major service. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four, delivering 168bhp and 181lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 167,961 Km from new. This Starion has been fitted with a replacement sound system, but is otherwise offered in unmodified condition throughout. Originally finished in Nares Blue, this Starion has been repainted in black, and its cabin is trimmed in burgundy cloth, with matching carpets and vinyl covering the dashboard, door cards, and centre console. It rides on the correct set 15-inch, eight-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Toyo tyres. The car’s factory specification includes electric windows, electric mirrors, and air conditioning. An aftermarket sound system has been fitted, including a Kenwood stereo, Pioneer tweeters, Kicker parcel-shelf speakers, and two boot-mounted amplifiers. The vehicle will be supplied with its jack and full-size spare wheel. The resprayed black paintwork is described by the seller as being in excellent condition, and the engine was removed during the respray. There are small chips and light scratches visible on the car’s front end, as well as blemishes on the boot lid below the rear window, and a small, corroded chip on the front driver’s-side wheel arch. Moving inside, the cabin appears to be in good overall shape given the car’s age and mileage, with wear on the seats, door cards, gear knob, handbrake grip, and steering wheel, a little discolouration in the front passenger footwell, fading on the rear seatbelt trim, and a small mark under one of the rear quarter windows. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This Starion’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in August 2022 by City Fleet Maintenance. A major service, this included an engine oil, oil filter, spark plug and coolant change, as well as the replacement of the HT leads, timing belt, engine drive belts, and radiator hoses. This Starion JB ‘Turbo’ is a solid example of Mitsubishi’s lesser-seen 1980s sports coupe, which mates a peppy turbocharged inline-four with a responsive rear-wheel drive chassis. Unmodified save for the installation of an uprated sound system, this Starion would make a smart addition to any collection of JDM modern classics, as well as an entertaining weekend toy for any marque enthusiast.
