As a spotty faced 14 year old I lusted after this very car when it was for sale at the local Mitsubishi dealer in Port Hedland, Western Australia. I used to go down there and just stare at it! That was 17 years ago. I saw the car once on one of Perths main highways about 5 years ago. Well it came into my life again today. Completely original and still licensed. All this nostalgia for the sum of $300.00! I am very happy as you can imagine. Now I have to decide what I am going to do with it.

Car is in excellent condition, with only one or two marks on the body. Some internal fading and broken stitching. All original with soccer ball rims (5) and badging all intact. Paint a little faded but still serviceable after 33 years!

The front wheel drive shafts/axles are from a Saab 900, whihc menas there is a small ammount of toe-in, which in fact improves the steering and makes the wheel bearings readily available too.
Blaupunkt 10-stacker and head unit with 6 speaker surround is the only other modifiaction
This an amazing road-tripper.
I've done several 8000km round trips in this car from Adelaide to the sapphire fields on the Tropic of Capricorn in the qld central highlands....it just eats up the road.
A beautiful steady and smooth ride
