Thought I'd share these pics of a 1999 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution that's for sale in the Philippines. I ran across them this morning while surfing the net checking the market there. Though I'd dearly love one, a Mitsu Delica Space van is about 1/3rd the price and, admittedly, I'd never use the Pajero's cutting edge pro-grade off road capabilities anyway. Still, it's fun to dream.

I'd LOVE to show up at the annual Mitsu cook-out driving THIS:

...and those ARE OZ racing wheels (or a decent imitation anyway!)...

Those are for sale in Canada quite often. Not in racing livery but the Pajero Evo. itself.

Interesting. What are they priced at? I'd suppose the owner of this one is asking a high price with the mods...

[Mnementh]

Okay I googled & answered my own question... $10-14k, canadian dollars I'd suppose. So this guy is asking over $10k premium for the livery and mods. Phew!

Still a beastly little mobile.

Not you've got me looking at those types of ads. Look at all the cool stuff for sale in the UK: http://www.newsnow.co.uk/classifieds/cars-vans-for-sale/mitsubishi-rally-car-for-sale.html
