1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR – Original RHD JDM Classic

For the enthusiast who has been looking for a genuine Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III, this is a particularly interesting opportunity to acquire an original GSR.

This is a 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR, right-hand drive, with approximately 178,000 km. The car has not been modified for increased engine power and retains its original drivetrain, including the original gearbox.

The car is not being presented as a freshly restored show car. It is an older, genuine Evo III that has been kept as a hobby car and has the cosmetic signs that come with age and use. For the right enthusiast, this also means there is a very good basis for either preserving it as it is or carrying out a sympathetic restoration over time.

History and documentation

The car has a documented history reaching back to its early years in Japan.

Available documentation records, among other things, a scheduled inspection/service at approximately 60,684 km in February 2001, carried out in Japan.

The Finnish service documentation also contains subsequent maintenance records, including work and inspections at various mileages from approximately 124,000 km onwards.

The documented maintenance history includes, among other items:

– Timing belt and related belt/tensioner work

– Regular servicing and inspections

– Maintenance carried out at several documented mileages

– Alternator replacement

– Other recorded maintenance and wear-item work

The intention with this car is to present the history based on the documentation available with the vehicle, rather than make assumptions about undocumented work.

Condition

The Evo is mechanically usable and has been kept as a hobby car.

The air conditioning works, and the car remains in its original right-hand-drive GSR configuration.

The body and paint show the age of the vehicle. There are paint imperfections, deterioration to the roof trim and some surface rust, including underneath the car. It should therefore be viewed as an honest older enthusiast car rather than a concours restoration.

This is also reflected in the asking price.

The car has not been driven during winter, which is an important consideration for an older Japanese performance car in Finland.

Originality and specification

The car has not been built as a high-power modified Evo. The engine has not been modified specifically for increased power.

It currently has:

– JPerformance exhaust

– Apex air filter

– Original gearbox

– Original right-hand-drive GSR configuration

– Working air conditioning

The car also has its original OZ Racing wheels for summer use.

There is also a separate collection of parts available for the car, including an OEM-style white body kit, but these can be discussed separately with a genuinely interested buyer.

A genuine Evo III for the right enthusiast

The Evolution III is an increasingly difficult car to find in an honest, relatively unmolested form.

This particular example is not being offered as a perfect restored collector car. Instead, it offers something increasingly difficult to find: a genuine Evo III with its original character, documented history and plenty of potential for the next owner.

It could be preserved as an enjoyable period JDM performance car, gradually restored, or simply enjoyed as an old-school Evolution.

I am offering the car because I am considering another summer/hobby car, rather than because I need to sell it immediately. Therefore, there is no pressure to let the car go at any price.

Serious enquiries are welcome. I am happy to provide additional photographs, documentation and further information to someone genuinely interested in this particular car.

A good opportunity for an enthusiast who has been specifically looking for an authentic Evo III rather than a heavily modified example.

Note.

More photos available on request. Filesize too big.

If you are genuinely interested in the car, I am happy to send additional detailed photographs of the body, underside, engine bay, interior and other areas, as well as available documentation.
