Vehicle Investments-Mitsubishi


This page is dedicated to Mitsubishi classic vehicles


For classic car owners in general the value of their car is to secondary to the enjoyment they get from its ownership. Restoration alone can cost thousands of £ and, more often than not, never be recovered. Restoring a vehicle to its optimum comes with a price tag classic car owners are willing to pay which says much about their relationship to their classic being more than just about money. Classic car ownership is a hobby, an interest full of nostalgic motivations and satisfaction that dilutes its costly upkeep.


However, we must all live in reality to enjoy and maintain our hobby. It would therefore be remiss of Still Motoring to ignore this section of classic car ownership as it provides some justification for the efforts of owners to keep alive the evolution of the motor car. It is also a worthwhile piece of history for future generations to appreciate what they may consider as The Flintsones of 20th and early 21st century motoring. Additionally, and significantly valuations are required for insurance purposes.


In 2024, what with all the changes occurring worldwide in regard government determination to bring an end to petrol and diesel powered cars. It has become difficult to assess the value of vehicles using traditional methods. For that reason we have widened our search paramenters to include global as well as UK valuations since values are also impacted by what's available outside the UK, for example Japan, with their right hand drive often low mileage vehicles. We have also kept in mind that right-hand drive cars are more valuable in the UK and produced results that include this point. Some of the traditional practices have been followed including sales at auction across the UK as well as trade and private sales and asking prices. We believe our methodolgy to be as accurate as any and arguably more accurate than some. Additionally, we believe valuations currently shown will be constant to this time next year. However, in the event of any dramatic changes to specific models we monitor for surges or drops in prices and will reflect this should they occur before we update our information in 2025.


Our lists grow by the day so if you do not spot your model it will likely appear soon.
