it's a dealer.. that may explain the price..
and it's a 1990..? really? Or is it just that it was imported in 1990?
Unique colour too.. I don't think I've ever seen pictures of a widey in that colour..

It'll be a really late 1989 I'd say.

My "1990" was built in December 1989, "second run". But as it would have been sold and registered in 1990 Im calling it a 1990. Im guessing it would have been made to 1990 spec's anyway. Ive been told the 1990's have a different LSD unit. Anyone know anything about this?

My flatty is a december 1984, but with a JB vin.. so your december 1989 = 1990 makes sense :beer

I have documentation from mitsubishi japan that proves the last starion was built in march 1990.. This car above appears to be original paint, seychelles red, what a frickin stunning car...
Chassis number anyone?

This car makes me want to paint my wheels black.

Really? I reckon having them painted black makes them look smaller, and a bit 'off'. It'd look fricken stunning with nicely polished factory 9's and 8's I reckon :-).

Chassis number in the high 700's.... Ladies & gentlemen, behold a genuine no bullshit 1990 Starion!
Not only that, it's the only widey i've ever seen in seychelles red!
Price is no doubt very fair, they would have paid out the ass for this car in japan...

I will always pick a flatty over a fatty, but this fatty would be one I'd want!
And I disagree with you guys about the wheels. I love that all black inside look!
