    Car Description

    Car History
    Legnum vr4 type S with cold weather pack, registration number L6 NUM. I had this car imported from Japan in February 2010 where it was originally traded in at a Mitsubishi dealership and I have owned it ever since. I have every scrap of paperwork from that moment on. The Shakam test sticker is on the windscreen along with a whole variety of Japanese stickers showing service intervals etc. The auction house document shows the original mileage in kilometres (85 527) which equates to 53 454 miles)) and the speedo was converted to read miles on arrival in this country. It has a Clifford cat 1 alarm with proximith sensors and a turbo timer. During this time, I have also been a fully paid up member of the VR4 owners club (www.clubvr4.com) and the car was on the front cover of the owner’s club calendar.
    The car was subject to an SVA test then undersealed and MOT’d. It also had the private plate L6 NUM applied to it and this is included in the sale. The car went to Eurospec for a full 60k service, ( http://www.euro-spec2000.co.uk/Mitsubishi/Galant/ ) including cambelt, water pump, pre-tensioners, all fluids, plugs etc, and has been meticulously maintained ever since. The extensive folder of receipts shows just how much I have cared for this car.
    I then had the car converted to run on LPG as well as petrol. It is on the UK lpg register and the lpg system has recently been serviced by WCR in Reepham, Norfolk. It pulls just as hard on lpg as it does on petrol but you have the choice to switch between them on the fly if you wish. I also have the connection lead and Zavoli software so you can customise the fuel mapping.

    Modifications.
    Zavoli LPG system and custom fuel map.
    Fujitsubo stainless steel cat back exhaust
    K&N flat panel filter
    Magnecor 8mm ignition leads
    Turbosmart manual boost control (dyno proven at a stable 0.9 bar)
    Grooved front discs

    Other information.
    It has had an oil and coolant change in the last few weeks, new NGK iridium plugs as well as new pads all round, new(ish) front tyres, new radiator and new high capacity Exide battery – all since Christmas.
    In addition to the folder of receipts, I also have a range of dyno print-outs that show just how well this car runs.
    I should also say that the bodywork is in excellent condition with virtually no rust. It has one tiny mark on the nearside rear arch (a few mm long) and a few stone chips on the leading edge of the bonnet but other than that, it really is a remarkably tidy car. You will look for a long time to find a better presented Legnum than this. Even the original factory fit wind deflectors are all in great condition. The interior is also in very good condition with no marks on the seats and is finished off with a smart set of clubvr4 floor mats. The pearlescent white paint still turns heads and looks stunning when it catches the light right.

    Bad bits
    stone chips on leading edge
    slight nsf knock - was going to change curved arm ball joints if I kept it
    other than that, it's mint and carefully looked after.

    The time has come! It's on pistonheads and auto trader, but ebay want me to wait on hold for an hour to speak to customer service before I can list the car so surprisingly, it's not on there yet! Thought i'd do you people the courtesy of putting it on here as well.
    Feel free to ask any questions you might have.
    Never argue with a fool – they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!

    hi - the cold weather pack, as far as I know, means it has heated mirrors, a bigger battery and heated pads for the wipers. I'll get onto some pictures before it gets dark - be right back...............

    This shows the boost, oil pressure and afr guage. The switch you can see next to it is for lpg/petrol

    this shows the Clifford panel for in case you lose both sets of keys, the fog light switch and above it is the panel for the electric folding heated mirrors.
