Vehicle Description

A rare surviving example of Mitsubishis 90s golden era, beautifully preserved, wonderfully original, and showing an exceptional 35,700 miles from new.

His care over the following years is evident everywhere you look. Bodywork & Originality When viewing the bodywork, it is genuinely hard to believe how original this Colt remains.

The underside is equally impressive: chassis legs and floorpan present astonishingly well, far exceeding expectations for a car of this age. It still wears its original dealer plates, tax disc holder, and window stickers, all of which add to its authenticity and collector appeal. Interior & Period Features Periodcorrect features remain intact, including the factoryfit Philips radio cassette, the correct fitted Colt floor mats, and the original parcel shelf with fully functioning su
