Mitsubishi Delica/3000GT market review from our 2020 Japanese Classic & Performance Car Guide
Listing some Mitsubishi’s fastest models alongside some of its slowest we found minimal differences in the pricing of some very different vehicles.
There is also a surprise new entry; the L300 4WD van which during the 1980s were very popular with weekend explorers.
Survivors for a long time were scarce but recently several have appeared at strong prices. Even more common and at similar money to the L300 are 2.8-litre diesel Delicas from the 1990s. Similarly-shaped 2001-06 models come with 3.0-litre petrol engines and are 50 percent more expensive.
Spend less than you would on a Delica and the slippery shape of a 3000GT non-turbo with 165kW could appear in your garage.
Or for serious supercar performance, stretch your spend to around $30,000 and get a late-series, twin-turbo version.
