2001 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution VII (CT9A) — Red

GSR is the grade that matters on an Evolution VII. It's the road-going version with the full interior rather than the stripped RS shell, and this July 2001 example wears the badge with 105,400 km behind it. Red paint, four doors, right-hand drive.

The 4G63 turbo, 2.0 litres and 2000cc on the paperwork, drives all four wheels through a manual gearbox. Mitsubishi built the CT9A chassis around that engine, and on a GSR it's exactly the layout you'd expect to find.

Repair history present. That's stated in the car's history, and we print it rather than smooth it over. An Evo of this age with a repair note isn't unusual, but it's the first thing to ask about.

What the record doesn't include is any option or modification detail, so none appears here. The mileage sits at the moderate end for a 25-year-old rally-derived sedan, and taken together this is a straightforward, plainly specified GSR with an honest history line attached to it.
