Epic Roadtrip Brings My Second Delica Home

Post by Drive-By »

Hi there, I'm Chris from Mitsu-Mech in Darlington, North East UK :D

My girl Livy and I just got back last night after an epic days round trip for my next daily.

After much trawling and frustration time missing out on a few on eGay actually right here via the delica classifieds was where I found an L300 Super Exceed to be the next Banner Bearer for work.

We took a flight down to Bristol from Newcastle and then a train to Bradford on Avon before the looooonnnnng drive home. Despite a small breakdown due to a split cold start valve pipe she made the trip home admirably and in good time. Even though she'd been stood for 10 months without moving! more testament to the Delica and Mitsubishi no fuss built to last 4x4s and engineering. We've had an L400 before but the 2.8 was just too thirsty and we both have much more love for pre 1990 shapes.

She's replacing my 1990 L200 which sold last week to a good home.

But I needed something 4WD if we have a repeat of last winter and as Livy already has a cracking MK1 Pajero and a Strada just wouldn't cut it for 4 seats and a great load area for work. So enter the L300 :D

Nothing you haven't seen before ATM but plenty in the pipeline to make her stand out and look tasteful but still stand out.

Thanks for having me, most likely speak and see more of you ladies and gents soon 8-)
