- By the early 1980s, Land Rover had pushed the Range Rover so far upmarket, yet done so little to the Series Land Rover that there was a door left open for a practical family SUV that was more affordable. The Mitsubishi Shogun filled that brief successfully enough to prompt Land Rover’s hasty release of the Discovery, but Paul reckons the Shogun could be the better bet...

I recently got ahold of a 1988 2.5d lwb. And its an absolute beast! Only 115k miles on it, and an absolute joy to drive! Recently towed a 3.5 tone boat on a 1.5 tone trailer over 250 miles. It preformed amazing, genuinely was happy to tootle along at 50mph. And it genuinely wasn't to bad on fuel!
I daily drive a short wheel base 1988 Pajero NE Sport fairly similar to this that I've owned for the last 20+ years. It's done over 315,000km and just keeps going.
I own a 2.5TD Pajero since 1991. The latest MK1 version with basically all available options. It’s in mint condition with always a virgin MoT since the beginning. Never one single oil leak, never one single issue with this car. Most of all, it passes PUC pollution test too way under the average! That car is amazingly built and it’s a fun and sporty 4wd car. Love it ❤
Some 80s graphics on the side and it would look the business! Very interesting classic I must admit I’ve never even thought about
Good review... thanks, I've had my 1992 Daihatsu Fourtrak for just over a year now and love it to be fair, done a bit of light restoration with a few little jobs left this year.
I need a Mitsubishi like that
Great video. And definitely a great Monti. Love this clasic. I own a 1988 with a 2.6 and I honestly love it. My kids love it as well. I get so many compliments on the streets. People always ask what it is, since this is very underrated vehicles. But when It goes toe to toe with a jeep they immediately admire.
Sad to know that it's being auctioned by Mitsubishi UK among 13 other heritage cars. Sad to see the current financial status of Mitsubishi motors. I have an 89 swb 2.6 pajero and it's my late father's first brand new car. It's the first car i drove and it's been neglected fog very long. I was lucky to find the same 4g54 engine for it in 2020 and I'm slowly restoring it aside from another 1997 2nd gen lwb one.. oh this one was my father's third 😂 after totaling a 1993 gls pajero.
Anyway thanks for this awesome review.. it brings back good memories and you're right about the long throttle paddle travel and how this little beast responds to it !
Wish me luck on the restoration i really need some support 🥲❤
Would be good to hear how you are getting on - I've just bought an '88 SWB Shogun as my late father also had one from new when I was a teenager
Good to see one of these, its been years since I saw one on the road 👍
I had a 1997 Discovery that was sadly totaled in an accident. Thinking about getting one of these to replace!
Proper off roader and used accordingly by working people . Loads of farmers used them around us because they were reliable and dependable.
From the mid 1990s until the Autumn of 2001, I had a blue Colt Mitsubishi Shogun SWB 2.6. I really liked that 4x4 (they weren't called SUV's back then!).
Good video, short and to the point.
I *really* want one of these.
I do like a Shogun, although I prefer the Mk2 (with the SuperSelect all-singing-all-dancing 4WD system), but that one is such a time capsule. The comparison between a SWB Shogun and a Moggy Traveller is spot on - nice and supple at the front, then crash-bang-wallop at the back! I have to point out that Paul's Land Rover knowledge has some gaps - the Landy on the 'middle of the range...rover' advert is an early One Ten with all-round coil springs, and by the time the Shogun hit the UK's shores the Land Rover was available with a 2.5-litre 4-pot (all iron, pushrod, Weber carb, definitely no balancer shafts - a long way from the Mitsubishi motor!) as well as the V8 in terms of petrol engines. An LR Ninety (beam axles and coils on both ends) isn't as harsh but is much more bouncy. At least it's not a Fourtrak from the same period, with leaf springs all-round. Completely indestructible, but comfortable they are not!
A really unusual vehicle in great condition thanks
Thanks Phil! This car is Mitsubishi’s own heritage car and has been lightly restored!
Recently sold my bbr turbo shogun miss it dearly
1989 2.6 2 dr how do I test to see if fuel pump needs replaced. Oh it has a ned Weber carb on it. Please help!
Very cool car. Would paint the wheels black.
Go and sit on the naughty step 😜🇬🇧
We had a LWB model (1990 model year) as a company pool car many moons ago. Never drove it off road, but I must say that the steering was simply awful - vague, too many turns lock to lock, and it was very agricultural (as I suppose it should!). It galvanised my lack of love for off readers! It did though have a nice gear change (albeit with a long throw). It somehow managed to look more rugged outside than it felt inside.........
Good 👍
Shogun, pajero, montero : LO40 referencia a Leopardus pajeros, un felino sudamericano conocido como gato pajero o de los pajonales), a partir de la tercera generación se le cambió el nombre a Montero en los países hispanoparlantes y Estados Unidos
Its not a sports car? .... Errr Paris Dakar??? I've had several of these and it was such a hoot to drive fast and bounce around.
I am sure it got better than the Range Rover V8 mpg does & the TDI what imagine 40 mpg
Give me the price
bluey car!!!
unfortunately the pajero's gone downhill. not good enough mitsubishi
