Description
Offered for sale is an exceptionally rare Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, one of just 500 factory manual examples ever produced worldwide. Built as a homologation special for Mitsubishi’s Dakar Rally campaign, the Pajero Evolution is now firmly recognised as a blue-chip Japanese collector vehicle.
This example has travelled 174,000 kilometres, reflecting careful long-term ownership and use consistent with a vehicle of this era. Power comes from the legendary 3.5L V6 MIVEC engine, paired to the highly sought-after 5-speed manual transmission, delivering an authentic, analogue driving experience that modern vehicles simply cannot replicate.
The Pajero Evolution was far more than a cosmetic exercise — featuring a widened aluminium body, rally-derived suspension, advanced Super Select 4WD, and engineering directly linked to Mitsubishi’s multiple Dakar victories. As a result, these vehicles were never mass-produced and were always destined to become collectible.
Collector highlights: * 1 of only 500 manual Pajero Evolutions worldwide * True Dakar Rally homologation model * 3.5L V6 MIVEC engine * Rare 5-speed manual transmission * 170,000 km * Increasingly scarce with values trending upward * Recognised as a cornerstone of Mitsubishi’s motorsport heritage
Manual Pajero Evolutions are exceptionally difficult to source globally, with many now locked away in private collections. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant Mitsubishi with strong collector appeal and long-term investment potential.
