Auction sheet isn't great, but I wonder if it still made a good bit?https://www.facebook.com/japancarsireland/photos/pcb.880145958798877/880145802132226/?type=3 There's another going for auction tonight. grade 4.

You won't import one from Japan for less and you won't find one in the UK for less so the pricing can be justified. Heres a white one for around €26,500+VRT so basically €30k on the road. Red with stripes is a far more desirable colour schemehttp://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mitsubishi/evo-iv--vi/mitsubishi-lancer-evo-vi-tommi-makinen-edition-tme/4849722?v=c

AND THAT'S IT! it's nothing else apart from that)

Cheensbo wrote: » Well, Evo's aren't rare, at all, but, as im sure you know right well that this one is. There was only 2500 t.m.e. Evo's built, i cant say how many made it to europe, and I presume not that many made it to Irish shores. Most that did have been either ragged beyond belief, broken for parts or wrapped around poles/trees. Not many in good condition left, let alone excellent condition. Especially in the desirable red suit. So yeah, THAT'S IT, nothing else. I wasn't comparing one with the other, I was trying to highlight the flaw on saying : "why would anyone spend big money on an old car" If it was me with 30g in my arse pocket I'd gladly hand it over for a t.m.e. rather than waste it on a poxy year old ****in golf or something.
