Mitsubishi’s entire UK heritage fleet will go under the hammer this April, all 14 cars being offered with no reserve.
Included are some of the first cars from the marque to be registered in Britain, rally-inspired stars and some of the brand’s off-roaders.
The collection’s Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition, signed by the four-time WRC drivers’ champion, is expected to be the star of the sale – it featured alongside its Evo X FQ-440 stablemate in our January 2021 issue and both are now looking for new homes.
The first Mitsubishi registered in the UK, an entry-level, right-hand-drive Colt Lancer 1.4 from 1974 that was displayed on the manufacturer’s Earls Court stand at that year’s British Motor Show, also features in the auction catalogue. White with a black interior, it’s done 73,700 miles.
From the same year is a Mk2 Colt Galant, Colts only being called Mitsubishis in the UK from 1987, this range-topping, 60,900-mile 2000 GL finished in blue with a cream-trimmed cabin.
