In the late 90s, Mitsubishi wanted to take its Dakar program to a production-based class. The company's Pajero Evolution racer, however, was a far cry from the road car that gave it a name. The solution was a homologation special, a three-year run of road-going Pajero Evolutions. Just a few thousand of these unique super-SUVs were ever built, all sold in Japan. 25 years have passed, which means the earliest Pajero Evolutions are finaly legal for import into the U.S. and the long-forbidden homologation special is now available to American buyers. That means the timing of this Pajero Evolution's sale could not be better.<\/p>\n
The car, currently in Scotland, is about to be listed on Collecting Cars. While the car does not have a full listing yet and the auction has not actually begun, the published photos show a particularly well-kept white Pajero Evo. This particular car is an automatic, but the site also has a manual 1997 model coming up for sale soon in Australia if that's a dealbreaker for you. Previous Pajero Evos on the site have sold as high as $52,000 and as low as $16,000.<\/p>\n
While it seems to be in pristine condition, this car has not lived in a garage waiting to be sold as a collector item elsewhere. A listed 180,000 kilometers translates to roughly 112,000 miles on the odometer, a well-used life of being driven for a car from 1997 even if that car weren't a Japan-only Dakar homologation special. <\/p>\n
