Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR, Japan import, called 29 Sep 2026.
Published before the hammer on 29 Sep 2026, and it will be graded against whatever the car makes. Nothing below is edited once a result is known.
A 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR running on Collecting Cars out of Burwood, Victoria — Graphite Grey Pearl over black suede and cloth, 98,398 kilometres which the seller believes genuine and says the Japanese auction report and export certificate verify, Japan-delivered and complied here, VIN 6ZZ400CT9A0300325, the 4G63 on the six-speed manual. 17-inch Enkei six-spoke wheels on Bridgestone Potenza rather than the MR's BBS forgings, red Brembos, Recaros, a Mitsubishi Momo wheel, active centre differential and intercooler sprayer. An HKS exhaust, an Alpine head unit and Whiteline sway bars front and rear. Auction report, manuals, service booklet, export certificate and a recent maintenance invoice.
Minor stone chips and blemishes. 1,291 views and 60 saves when called.
The last recorded maintenance is an oil change at Goodyear Autocare in September 2022 at 97,980 kilometres, and the car now shows 98,398: 418 kilometres since. The seller says it was serviced every six to eight months and most recently in June 2026, with one receipt from after import. This is a stored car, and no cam belt is named anywhere in the listing.
Plus 8.7 for 98,398 kilometres against the 117,500 expected of a 2004, minus 1.5 for the year, plus 10 for the standard engine and turbocharger, since the listing names its modifications and neither is among them, plus 2 for Graphite Grey Pearl, minus 2 for one key, and minus 2 for the exhaust and head unit. Composed, plus 15.4 per cent, and $45,007.
A Graphite Grey MR on BBS wheels with mild bolt-ons and a sixteen-year gap in its book made $50,000 at Greenacre in March 2026 at 86,800 kilometres. This one has 11,600 kilometres more, no BBS wheels and one key, and the model lands $5,000 under it.
Predicted hammer $34,500 to $57,000, midpoint $45,000.
A distance the auction report can prove, the colour, and a nearly standard car on a model where most are not.
Four years of standing on a turbocharged engine, an unstated cam belt, and one key.
The call is a prediction of one hammer. The record behind it is the Australian evidence for the model as a whole, and it carries its own grade for how much of that evidence exists.
