For the discerning PHer, an old-ish Mitsubishi L200 with some big, shiny alloys is not a vehicle that endows its driver with much kudos. For a certain young, rural type, fond of carting around the odd hay bale, however, it is one of the most desirable vehicles this side of a John Deere.
Even then, mind, you'd hardly call its turbodiesel motor an object of lust, nor its performance particularly exciting. But this particular L200 addresses this in rather dramatic style, because beneath the bonnet lies a Toyota Supra engine and gearbox.
Fans of engine designations will be interested to hear that it's the 2JZGTE model, while appreciators of bhp may be more interested to hear that, at 1.3bar of boost, it makes 500bhp - and the vendor seems confident that 600bhp would be easy to get to, as well.
Should make for more than the odd amusing encounter at the local traffic light GP...
You can pore over the final details of the car's spec in the advert, which we've reproduced below, but suffice it to say that, with the amount of stuff listed, we can well believe that the vendor has spent the £6k on it he claims to have. Which makes the £9950 ono price tag seem rather reasonable, especially as he says he'll slap a full year's ticket on it within the sale price.
He's surely looking at a pretty narrow market, our vendor chap, but there must be someone out there who really wants a 500hp pick-up with a mega-tune Japanese engine that looks like it's actually got more like 120bhp. We certainly love the idea, though we're not sure we'd be sufficiently amused to spend £10k on it...
Mitsubishi L200 Supra Sleeper (2002)
For sale my Supra-powered Mitsubishi L200.
The car is based on a Mitsubishi L200 4 life but has been fitted with a Toyota Supra 2JZGTE engine and gearbox.
The car made 500hp at 1.3 bar the boost can be raised though if you are brave enough with the current turbo over 600hp is easily achievable.
It turns heads wherever it goes and sounds amazing on and off boost.
I have spent over £6000 on it since I bought it 7 months ago to get it to the spec it is now.
