Default ***car stolen - Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ MR 340 ***

This car was stolen yesterday evening from a frined garage at around 6:50 pm from a garage in Brixham, South Devon.

The car is gun metal grey with standard alloys etc.

I know the chances of finding this car are slimmer then normal wich is next to non but its worth a chance

There is a small pin dent about the FQ Mr 340 Bage on the boot panel



Cheers All

(not sure where this should go mads so please feel free to move it to where ever is best)

Miles away in Leeds mate but if I see one about will be sure to check it out. These stolen exotics often end up miles away.

Feel sorry for the owner

Euan Gunmetal grey is the best colour for an Evo IMO, would have liked mine to be grey.

Lynne Rac Trackstar does come as standard on the VIII MR 340 FQ.

Leather and Navigation (Which uses Rac Trackstar as a hub) being the only other difference from the MR320 other than power.

RAC trackstar is a complete waste of money......its a worthless piece of shit........i have it on my P1 and i have not subscribed this year due to its bad reputation and the amount of horror stories of heard in the last year.

If ya gonna get a tracker fitted then dont use RAC....simple as

Imports?

Im unsure where you get that the above car is an import? Maybee the MR & FQ thats causing confusion?

MR FQ340(in this case) is indeed an imported car which Mitsubishi UK (CCC) have modified and sold through UK dealer networks.

The MR FQ340 having Smartnav/Rac Trackstar as standard.

That what i was led to beleive the only difference between the 320 and 340 is the interiour and smartnav/tracker as standard,

It's what is called a 'grey' import, you can tell by the foglight in the bumper. My car is a 'grey' import too. Not imported by CCC to make it a UK spec car to be sold through Mitsi dealers, but imported by A.N. Other.

Redkop the fact that the car has the foglight in the rear bumper proves that it is a UK car. Imports do not come with a foglight hence why you see jap cars with the "after thought" fog light stuck under the bumper to pass SVA test when imported. Also import MR's were only in 280 and 310bhp variants.

The car is definitely a UK car. Hope this clears the debate up.

Incorrect. My car was imported into the UK in Sept 2003, look where the foglight is... it all depends on where the importer chooses to put the foglight when going for SVA. UK cars from the the 7 or 8s onwards have the foglight incorporated into the rear cluster replacing one of the reversing lights.

I think you'll find you are maybe just lucky that your importer took the time to make it look presentable rather than the usual stuck on affair.

I am still pretty sure you will find that the import MR's only came in 280 and 310 variants. I found this as i nearly bought one before i found my 6.

I can hpi this car in work on monday though.
