After 12 years of searching I have found myself a Blue 1996 Mitsubishi GTO MR VR4, 6 speed manual, twin turbo 4WS and I call it the Blues buster, because you cannot help smiling when you drive it. The car has been in New Zealand a long time and is very original, with only the wheels and suspension not stock (I do have the stock suspension struts). The car has done 170,000km’s but still feels tight and drives beautifully. The chassis No is Z15A-0200422, so if someone can confirm the full spec and advise if it would be worth shipping to the UK when I come over in May 2017. What would this lethal weaopn be worth in the UK? Being a NZ car she is 99% clean and rust free as I can only see one little spot on the factory sunroof.
Congratulations a really clean Mr has got to be worth at least 4.5/5 k upwards depending on everything working OK. The prices on our cars is going up right now and cars in the UK often are pretty rusty underneath. There are some hopeful numbers being asked for average cars.
On the other hand l have seen carsthat have been offered at up to 12k quite a few at 6/7/8,s but until you see them in the metal you cannot judge and the cost of doing the underneath of one (l know l have done it) is probably much more than paying a good price for a really good car.
Sounds like you have a good one there (l have a red mr) rust free is a real bonus maybe a little highish mileage (they are 20odd years old) but as long as it is looked after should be great, hope you did a good deal to get it.
Good luck with your car.

Few years late, not sure if you ever bought this car but I now own it here in New Zealand. I bought it not knowing it was a MR for about 6000nzd but after buying I learnt it was a MR and the BBS wheels on the car are actually stock from factory and they were a special option on only MR models.
