Description

Manual Mitsubishi Legnum VR4, imported by myself in 2007. Reliable daily driver, practical load space, plenty of poke when needed. Full self service history since imported. Undersealed when it arrived in the country. MOT'd last week, taxed through to end of April 2013.

If you don't know, the Mitsubushi VR4 basically shares some of the underpinnings of the Mitsubishi Evo 4 i.e. 4 Wheel Drive, AYC (Anti-Yaw Control) but adds a 260 bhp (as standard) 2.5 litre V6 twin turbo engine for more refined motoring.

Highlights:

Body kit (not sure of the name),
Carbon fibre Evo style vented bonnet,
17" Alloys, refurbished and practically perfect (Rays 'Serie Versus Turismo, Conspired by Rays': 17x7.0JJ +42 Off. Date:1999 6.01 Spada, VESTA)
Muteki wheel lug nuts
ARP extended wheel lugs
Tein Type-HA adjustable coilovers
Braided brake lines
ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid
Evo 8 Brembos front and rear (on Facelift hub carriers)
Grooved discs F+R
OS Giken Twinplate R2CD clutch (fitted in UK)
Custom 3" Stainless steel CAT back system (by Turriff Tyres)
RPW 3" downpipes
HKS SQV dump valve
7202 reflashable ECU
Energy Suspension polyurethane engine mounts (x4)
Evo 7 Recaro front seats complete with Recaro Galant base plates
4-point race harness eye bolts, with Tegiwa harness bar
Carbon fibre effect interior dash panel inserts
Ralliart Duracon black gear knob
Club VR4 custom car mats
Rubber: 215/45R17 87W Bridgestone Potenza RE750
Privacy / Security Rear Tinted windows

Lows:
Crack in rear left fibreglass skirt (just in front of rear wheel) - caught a jack handle when lowering. Passes a cursory glance but could do with a proper fibreglass repair.
Tyres on the front have 3-3.5mm, the rears have 2-2.5mm in the central 3/4. However as the car is slightly lowered the inside edges get worn quicker. When I had the alloys refurbed I got them to swap the insides out to try to even out the wear - but as a result it looks like the outer edges are worn down. May be prudent to budget for replacements soon for the rears at least.
There was a rust spot on the inner front left suspension tower, poked through to make a hole. However the tower tops on these are double skinned so it was just the top skin that holed. I treated and painted the hole and between the skins plus complete front inner arch areas and its passed 5 MOTs since then.
I started poly bushing the suspension but ran out of time (in fact only one bushing is in, on the rear drivers arm)
This is a 15yr old car so do not expect concours condition - it has stone paint chips on the front spoiler (touched up where possible) and had scratches on the front drivers door and rear drivers wheel arch painted up. The front passenger wind deflector is missing and there is a paint scratch on the top of the rear bumper where luggage has scraped over it.

The suspension is raised up fairly high to deal with the local speed bumps but it can go as low as you like. Damping is adjustable on each corner.

Needs to go quickly (moving) so no reserve, grab yourself a bargain. More detailed pictures available on request. Would consider meeting halfway for cost of petrol / return train etc. Thanks for looking.

Now thats a proper ad, in depth with a large amount of decent pictures! Good luck with the sale

[Tam]

That's a really nice car wish I had the money to buy and do a bit of swapping and then sell the remaining car. Can't see you having a problem selling it, it seems to have everything you would want to do to a leggie.
Very very nice

[BillHardy]

Shocked to see this Phil,thought you would keep it for ever,but times change i suppose,good luck with the sale,dont think it will stay available for long

[Kryton]

Wheres @Wobble when you need him

[aboo]

Feels like the end of an era Phil Makes me feel like selling mine cause it won't be the same at Crail & Knockhill without you there to battle against. The banter was good as well.

Or do I put in a cheeky bit? Glwts.

[PaO'R]

stunning looking car fella.
best of luck with the sale.

[phosty]

Sorry guys, but its all over. Sale agreed.

We're off to Canada in less than two weeks so a quick sale was agreed rather than risk being let down by a dodgy ebayer with only days before we leave the country.

Thanks for all the comments, it is a sad time as I've learnt a lot about all things car since owning both this and my other silver leggie (still available...) over the last 6 years. I know what you mean Andy, I'm going to miss Knockhill & Crail (especially since I never quite managed to beat your 1/4 ml time). But the Calgary Speedway shut up shop in 2008 and North American speedlimits just aren't conducive to importing it over.

[Wobble]

bugger , if the sale falls through let me know . the one night i went to bed early .

[BillHardy]
