Evos don’t come much smarter than ‘R419 NDS’. From its white OZ Racing alloy wheels to its cloth and Alcantara-covered Recaro seats the Lancer is pretty pin sharp. It was imported to the UK in 2021 by Guy Francis Specialist Cars and first registered on September 1 of that year. The vendor is the car’s third custodian since it arrived on these shores and would appear to have cherished it during his 11 months tenure, as the Mitsubishi is certainly presented in fine order. He informs us that it is basically a standard example that has been remapped and he has no hesitation in classing the turbo engine, five-speed manual gearbox, four-door bodywork, shiny white paintwork and grey and green upholstery as ‘excellent’. He is now selling the Lancer complete with a current MOT valid to September 5 next year, plus invoices and a service book relating to its UK-based maintenance, the last bout of which occurred in October last year. The odometer presently stands at 111,586 kilometers (69,336 miles). If you have been searching for an Evo V, then this handsome example must surely be worth a look.

Mitsubishi’s Evo has been with us since 1992, during which time there have been 10 generations, each comprising a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine powering a four-wheel drive, four-door saloon. The EVO V reigned for exactly one year from January 1998 and brought a number of changes that included: flared arches front and rear, new adjustable alloy rear spoiler, 10mm increase in track, increase in wheel diameter from 16 to 17 inches in order to accommodate Brembo brakes, an increase in engine torque to 373Nm. Power output, however, remained the same at 276bhp.

In summary:

• Imported to the UK in 2021, since when it’s had three keepers
• A very well-presented standard example that’s been remapped
• Currently registering 111,586 kilometers (69,336 miles) from new
