Default Mitsubishi Delicia's.

Anyone know much about these things?

My old man is wanting to get one as his latest toy, I personally think they are minging spaz chariots but what do I know.

He says they are a Mitsubishi Shogun / Pajero with a different body ontop, is this true?

Also, why the hell do the prices vary so much up and down the country?

Used to fit cat1's in them for an importer , they are basicly a pikeyjero with a different body , theyre not nice m8. Interior plastic trims are very brittle , they dont go round corners very well, drink fuel,look like a window lickers bus and to top it off theyre a crap import and hard to get spares for .

its not that they don't go round corners well they change lanes on the motorway at say 100 k's terrible too and they can topple over easily.
i saw them at jap direct import auctions for very cheep money,if you were buying them and then taking them into farming country where the farm lads don't go quick but need a shogun based thing like a delcia they sold reasonably well.

ebay....

Are the Delis the same head as the Pajero... ie porcelain? There's a local group that meets at the same pub as ours, the all love their Delis..... and for an off-roading vehicle they are quite versatile..... its like having an all terrain camper.... cos all the seats fold and turn so that you can make a big bed out of em....

personally, for anyone having a mid-life crisis and wanting the odd trip out onto the moors on a night.... I think they're great.... ugly looking yeah.... but fun...
