Mitsubishi Is Auctioning Off Their UK Heritage Fleet, 14 Models Up For Grabs

Mitsubishi is liquidating their heritage fleet in the United Kingdom and auctioning off 14 different vehicles.

Among the models up for grabs is a 1974 Colt Lancer, which was the first Mitsubishi registered in the United Kingdom. It has a 1.4-liter engine, a manual transmission and 73,703 miles (118,613 km) on the odometer.

Fans can also opt for a 1974 Colt Galant, which the Colt Car Company’s first demonstrator for their dealer recruitment program. It’s a range-topping 2000 GL variant with a 2.0-liter Astron engine that produces 115 hp (86 kW / 117 PS).

If those are a bit modern for your tastes, Mitsubishi is auctioning a 7/10th scale replica of the 1917 Model A. The vehicle was Japan’s first series production automobile, but none of the original 30 cars survived. As a result, a replica was commissioned and built from the original plans. However, it has rather unoriginal single-cylinder lawnmower engine.

Mitsubishi’s sports car lineup is represented by a 1988 Starion that has been “meticulously maintained and has recently undergone an engine overhaul and turbo rebuild to ensure it delivers the kind of performance its looks suggest.” It has just 59,050 miles (95,032 km) on the odometer.

If that didn’t catch your eye, perhaps you’ll be interested in a 1992 3000GT. It looks virtually brand new and has only been driven 34,147 miles (54,954 km).

Unsurprisingly, there are an assortment of Evos up for grabs. Among them are a 2001 Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition, a 2008 Evo IX MR FQ-360 HKS and a 2015 Evo X FQ-440 MR. The company is also auctioning the 2007 Lancer Evolution IX Group N Works Rally Car that won the British Rally Championship in 2007 and 2008.

Speaking of rallying, there’s a 1989 Galant 2.0 GTI that was converted into a rally car replica. It was created to promote Pentti Airikkala’s involvement in the 1989 Lombard RAC Rally and has been restored to road-going condition.

One of the more interesting models is a Mitsubishi Jeep CJ-3B. After World War II, Mitsubishi started producing Jeeps under license from Willys for sale in Japan. This particular model was built in 1979 or 1983, and was one of eight imported to the United Kingdom by the Colt Car Company.

If you’re in the market for a ‘real’ Mitsubishi SUV, the company is auctioning a couple of Shoguns. The first is from 1987 while the second is a 2000 model that was “one of the very last MkIIs registered in the UK.”

The final SUV up for grabs is a 2015 Outlander PHEV, which was added to the heritage fleet for preservation purposes. It has a Glacier Blue exterior and less than 1,800 miles (2,897 km) on the odometer.

Lastly, there’s the 2017 L200 Desert Warrior.  It was created to showcase the truck’s off-road capabilities and was prominently featured in Top Gear magazine.

Besides the vehicles, Mitsubishi is parting with a handful of number plates. Many have MMC and CCC lettering to represent Mitsubishi Motors or the Colt Car Company.

The auction kicks off on April 1st and all of the vehicles are being offered without reserve.
