1990 Mitsubishi Lancer Liftback 1800 GLXi 4WD

My new motor a Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi liftback 4×4. 3 years older than me and 3 years before the evo this lancer was way ahead of its time with power steering, electric windows and sunroof,fuel injection,3 way catalytic converter and under heavy braking the vcu functions as a anti lock braking modulator which prevents any two wheels from locking. This was the golden era of cars mechnically before sensors and computer equipment became the norm.

This car was dealer owned and spent most of its life in a Mitsubishi showroom only covering just under 14000 miles in its life. These cars were rare new betwen 88-91 Mitsubishi made two full time 4wd lancers (a 1.6 turbo model and this 1.8 liftback) in limited numbers before the introduction of the Lancer Evo. This was the only 4wd lancer available in the uk market before the evo.

In 1995 there was 165 of them registered in the uk today there is one on the road (the one above) and 2 others that are sorn.
