2000 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO VI - GROUP A RALLY CAR

KEY FACTS

• An incredible custom Group A / B13 class specification competition rally car, incorporating a freshly built motorsport-grade engine mapped by the legendary Terry Stamper.
• Complete with MSA Competition Car Log Book
• It is powered by a high-end competition 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four 4G63 from an Evo VIII, which has been substantially upgraded, coupled to a five-speed Drenth dog-box transmission with a sequential Ikeya shifter.
• Delivered overseas, it was imported and re-registered in the UK in 2003, and has been owned by the vendor for the last year.
• There are five previous keepers on the V5C.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Based on an original silver Lancer Evo VI road car shell, this Group A machine features an aluminium bonnet and wings, and has been seam-welded, along with fitment of a welded-in roll cage. The shell was lightened by ME RallySport (Matt Edwards), and fitted with a full alloy sump guard, alloy diff guards, a roof vent, Kevlar fuel tank guard and Kevlar under-guarding.
• The shell and integrated roll cage were primed in white, and the exterior was resprayed in Passion Red, in tribute to the Mitsubishi Lancer WRC chassis #51, which secured overall victory in the 1999 Rallye Monte Carlo in the hands of Tommi Mäkinen. A custom livery was also applied with decals by Lively Graphics.
• It features a newly built engine using an Evo VIII block and a raft of upgraded and enhanced components; as well as a rebuilt dog-box transmission with an Ikeya sequential shifter.
• Built to Group A / B13 specifications, the car is accompanied by the V5C and a motorsport competition car log book.
• A comprehensive list of the build specification is included at the bottom of the listing.

CONDITION

• The driver’s side rear quarter panel has previously suffered from minor damage and been repaired, but there is no other known body damage. The car is HPI clear.
• Its paintwork is in excellent condition following a full exterior respray in Passion Red.
• The stripped-out interior is in great shape, with only minor wear to the Sparco bucket seats, and with a custom dashboard and centre console refit.
• Rewired and upgraded for rally use, the car’s electrics are in good order, with no known faults.
• The most recent MOT test was on 31 March 2021, which resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories whatsoever.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car’s engine has just been rebuilt by Quantexe Motorsport, and the Evo VI is reported to be in excellent mechanical condition.
• Its full mechanical build specification is included below. The machined 2.0-litre block incorporates new Wiseco high-compression pistons, I-beam con-rods and ACL competition big end bearings. There is a blueprinted cylinder head with competition valve springs and retainers, as well as rally cams from GT Motorsport.
