Mitsi Evo 8

Discovered that for what I will pay for an Evo6 in Cyprus I can get a pretty nice Evo8 in the uk, run it for 6 months in the UK (wife driving it) and then import it to Cyprus free of all duty...

This is the car I have found that looks about right for my needs, any comments?

Gonna be a pig to insure as its Uxbridge, ungaraged, wife with 0 no claims and a claim this year, her fault, but it will still work out cheaper than trying to get a decent one in Cyprus I think...

:cool:

Manual 6 speed

Its an Evo 8 GSR not 260, why would you say it was a 260 when the ad says GSR with 6 speed manual?

I am confused now... the GSR came with 6 speed box and Enkei 6 spoke 17's?

:confused:

Link won't work for me now but from looking at the pictures it looked like the 260 with the small spoiler, the 260 also does have those wheels.

If it's a full fat 8 then yeah it isn't too bad

Thats what the ad from the dealer says, but the spoiler is suspect I agree...

Plus they didn't call it a GSR in the uk, they were MRXXX etc at that time, I thought?

The MR was the model that followed the GSR... The GSR only came in late 2003, then 2004 introduced the MR and Evo 8 260..

The outboard faces of the rear-deck spoiler plates use a dark grey
finish close to the colour of the carbon wing, replacing the body colourkeyed
treatment on Evolution VIII.

That was the spoiler change from the Evo 8 GSR to the MR... so summat is amiss
