The Appeal

The Mitsubishi 3000GT is easily one of the most advanced vehicles of its time, fitted with a huge array of game-changing technology, and a sublime twin-turbocharged V6. It’s a vehicle that only continues to age like fine wine as time passes, with more enthusiasts embarking on their search for the right example by the day. 
This particular 3000GT is arguably one of the most impressive examples available today, benefitting from a previous restoration, and a great maintenance record.
