Looking at those pics again it looks like the white one is just a replica. Anyone else notice this?

Well spotted, Flappa :) It indeed is a replica. Top of the class you go. ;)

lol :P

The GTO parked next to it looks pretty cool though. I think that would make old Doug proud!

What makes it a replica? Unless you already know it is I guess.

I knew it already, but wanted to see if anyone recognised it. ;)

What made you realise that it wasn't an original, Flappa?

I can't prove or disprove if it is or isn't, just I thought it looked a bit funny. Mitsubishi 'kinda' have this policy of not selling any race or rally car that is a little special (either that or when they've been cheating) so it's odd to see something so rare in private hands.

Looking at it visually, no bonnet pins, no cage, standard metal looking doors... full glass windows. It just looks too stock in general, looks like a full interior, rear seats etc. Plus it's RHD whereas I'm pretty sure the other prototypes were LHD. For a car that never went through homologation it's pretty odd to find a road car version.
