THE APPEAL

Introduced in 1969 Mitsubishi’s Delica is a versatile, practical minivan and people mover sold in numerous markets around the globe with the most prevailing being in Japan and Asia. Available in rear and all-wheel driver variants with an array of engines, the practical MPV has been a familiar and popular option for larger families thanks to its spacious layout and 7-seat set-up.

Equipped with an impressive 3.0L V6 and capable four-wheel drive system, this 2002 Japanese import has been customised to be increasingly capable with the addition of several over-land, safari-style accessories such as large all-terrain tyres, roof rack, spotlights and snorkel.

Presented in an honest and used condition, this Delica would make a fun adventure wagon, making those trips to the beach or those camping trips extra special and all the more accomplishable.

A robust, expedition-ready van that can transport the whole family down roads, across river beds and up mountains. It's got the looks and capabilities, with a powerful V6 and four-wheel drive with high and low ratios and a differential lock, there are very few MPVs that can boast the same. There's a bit of wear present, but this van was built to be used and therefore a perfect runaround that you won’t mind tucking into a hedge or getting sand in!
