    It is not a UK car. Ralliart is the tuning arm of Mitsubishi, so it may be that this has some accessories that warrant the name. I think Super VR4's came with a Ralliart back-box for example. It could also be that the seller is attaching the name to help plug the sale, not knowing that people in the know will assume it to mean something else.

    When you have a butchers, let us know!

    Same opinion here - too old for a uk car as well, they only started bringing them in 'officially' about 1999?
    Might be worth looking at though, if it has been tricked out with some japanese ralliart tuning bits, instead of a couple of £5 ebay stickers

    That's 2 cars that you guys have posted up from Autotrader that don't appear within my national searches. How peculiar, wonder how many I'm missing.

    Technically all vr4's are official ralliart - Mitsubishi went to them, with a legnum, and a galant.. and said, oi.. make these faster.. and thus the vr4 was born.

    Unless your referring to a geniune UK import, compared to a grey, in which case thats a completly differnt story

    In the UK an official Ralliart car is deemed to be one of the 200 that were brought in officially and registered new by Mitsubishi UK. They tend to stand out with a Ralliart badge on the back, the foglight in the bumper which is the same as official Evo imports but most importantly a service book with the dealer stamp for pre-delivery check and the 1000 mile check.

    It is a bad description really, as the Ralliart name relates to so many different things.
