FTO Pics

This is the 2nd and by far the best FTO I have owned ( I knew what to look for 2nd time round) - I am the first UK owner.

White Facelift Mitsubishi FTO GPX , 1997 on a P Plate, 2 Litre Mivec , 5 Speed Manual

70k Miles (Mileage conformity document available to confirm reading when bought and converted to miles) Facelift Model, Twin Airbags, Folding Electric Mirrors, Air Con, ABS, Central Locking, Cat 1 Toad Alarm and Immobiliser, Momo Steering Wheel, Foglights wired to rear brake lights (no dangly fog light or one cut into the bumper!)

Now the good stuff!

Aluminium Dial rings

Delimited

Aftermarket HID Lights

Uprated High beam

17" White OZ Cronos Racing Alloys (Very Light)

5Zigen Fireball exhaust with an amazingly distinct note, much commented upon

Apex lowering Springs

HKS Induction kit

Twin Panasonic MD/CD Players and CD Multi changer

Very rare Pro Shop Iida sideskirts and rear valance (I know people say RARE a lot but these really are!!)

Version R spoiler (NOT the big one in the pics - much more subtle spoiler is now on!)

4x Goodyear F1 Eagle Tyres (receipts available)

Only one owner in Japan. Imported to the UK last September and bought by me in December (Xmas Eve of all days - I couldn't wait!) All receipts available.

Rolling Roaded at Dastek in Scotland at 209bhp with chart to prove it

All receipts for anything bought for it or done to it (most recently new tyres and 4 wheel laser alignment after removal of Cusco Coilovers)

It also has FULL JAPANESE HISTORY!! It's not often you get this but it came with the original purchase receipt and receipts and manuals for the coilovers and HID lights. It also has all the service documents and MOT docs from Japan!

Taxed till 08/05 and passed MOT with flying colours - next one due Sept 2005.

It has just had a Top strut arm replaced on the rear drivers side but the rest of the suspension was deemed fine by the garage.

I have pictures of this car which were found on various Japanese websites so you can see it's development from purchase to today! The previous owner was also a member of a large FTO owners Club in Japan called Tension and pics are on the site of him at meets with the car.

I personally am also a long standing member of the FTO Owners Club in the UK. www.ftooc.org/ I strongly suggest the new owner join for the most helpful forum I have been in!

There are many FTOs for less but very few so distinct and many facelifts go for a premium as they can no longer beimported as a result of new ESVA rules.

I contacted the previous owner in Japan to find out if the Cambelt had been done as it was around the mileage that would be needed - he confirmed it hadn't so I had that done recently by the Garage in Wishaw - a well respected FTO expert for peace of mind, I also got the tensioner pulley done as they can cause problems if not replaced at the same time.

As ever, no test pilots or tyre kickers - I need serious buyers!

I am based in Scotland (just between Edinburgh and Glasgow)

N.B. the car does not have the large wing or CF bonnet that is in some of the pics anymore - current bonnet is standard but still black.

Reason for sale is I now have a 9 month old baby and we need 4 doors!
