Love these videos. Can’t beat the actual realism. Anyone who’s ever looked at private car sales, knows there’re as many different owners as there are types of vehicles.
Love these reviews of older cars. Would be nice if you could add a clip of the finished product ready for sale. You have great taste in cars 🙂
A classic of bangernomics. Always liberating to drive around in a car worth essentially nothing.
Especially something like this in the winter. You can rough it up
The tax is worth more than the car 🤣
not bangernomics when the tax is 600 quid ??
@@4N50N it is when the car essentially has zero value to depreciate. Which normally is the single biggest cost hit to a car owner. £50 a month in road tax becomes irrelevant when the car is basically free.
@@kevincockburn7805 but you can pick up a car for 1500 quid that's 30 pound a year to tax? So I don't get it
Hi Matt,
Great car selection once again (your selection is almost as good as your one liners).
I drove a lot of these in my car salesman days and absolutely enjoyed delivering rhem to customers in Wales, or bringing theirs as px's and would sometimes keep them over night/weekends.
THE FUN I USED TO HAVE IN THESE TYPE CARS (on trade plates)
😉
Came across this channel during lockdown last year, I'm hooked the videos are for everyone and all budgets I like it that Matt does older cars to when reviewing, not all of us have budgets for high end cars, excellently produced and informative so keep them coming
Cheers
Thank you!
This brings back lots of memories. Not specifically to the "Sport", but I had a second generation Pajero 2.5 TD once. I loved that car more than the other five I have owned so far and I cannot explain why.
Probably this love because, "Sport" is not whimsical and not picky about the quality of fuel, very maintainable, very reliable, since it does not have glamorous stuffed electronics ...
I have this "Sport" for the fourteenth year, I really like it, I live in Ukraine ...
I had one of these in Aus, was a great cheap capable 4 wheel drive. Drove it all around Australia including river crossings and along beaches.
Only issue I ever had was it was a bit tricky engaging 4wheel drive, did get stuck in the sand once because of that!!!
Still I'd buy another one for sure!
Such a good car, always wanted one of these and this looks pretty good all things considered!
I had a 3.0 V6 swb Shogun, bloody loved it, put a stainless cat back straight through pipe on her she sounded like thunder 😍
I haven't seen one of these in that good of condition in *YEARS.* They were sold here in the US as the Montero Sport and they were really popular but you almost never see them anymore. Most were petrol V6's that had head gasket issues which generally totalled them out because they didn't hold their value anywhere near as well as the Toyota 4Runner. Neat to see one alive and well!
It was called a Pajero Sport in most of Europe. The owners manual is correct.
Except in Spain, I hope 😄
@@nicola6323 I'd imagine it was called Montero Sport. They weren't called Shogun in Spain.
Montero sport actually
here in chile, pajero is someone who masturbates over twice a day so they called it the montero
In my country and all center America its called Mitsubishi Nativa 😂.
PD: In Japan is Mitsubishi Challenger.
Got one of these in 2006. 2.8L. Import 😬. Badged as a Mitsubishi ‘Challenger’. N reg. Juicy. But incredibly reliable for an old motor.
Originally called 'Challenger' in the UK too.
Incredibly hot engine to 👍🏽
Love these vids. You should turn this one into a series. Let us know how it gets on with the MOT
Bought a few 3.5lt SWB Pajero imports, always great value, tough and reliable and great gearbox changing from 2 -4 wd on the move. They had never been off road when I got them from Japan.
They were pure gas guzzlers, those v6's. They sounded mean too with the "right" exhaust.
@@monkehbitch I have an 05 Full-size Montero.... Get about 15mpg combined... But damn I love the thing.
Great video pal, I bought one of these a 07 in November 2021, they are called a pajero sport in Ireland and only €333 commercial tax, (2 front seats) mine has leather seats also, I use it for hunting, towing and mucking about in crap weather, I love it! great second vehicle to have even with over 320km on the clock. Some rust on my chassis that needs to be patched and small leak on the diesel tank, but plan on keeping mine for many years to come.
I used to have one of these years ago, the 4x4 system was basic so you were supposed to leave it in 2wd on the road, in snowy conditions you could drift it. But I do remember it being slow, and I say that having bought it to replace a land rover defender
Nice find. I run Mitzi's. Dealer has a 16 plate SWB Shogun Warrior in atmo. Only 25,000, think its been used for towing a horse box around. Asking price made me gulp, £28,600....
I grew up with an 03 plate shogun sport equippe and this just brought back a lot of happy memories. Love the videos keep them going. 👍
Would love to see this ,the Volvo and accord brought back to some sort of decent condition- depending upon what you are willing to spend on them. 👍👍👍
I had one for 9 years and I must say it was one of the best cars I have ever had, on the last year with 95k I had to replace a feul pipe over the back axle other than that an excellent truck, it was a 52 reg so the tax was just over £300 .
Nice one matt !
Yes, a great, reliable and simple car!
I bought a 2000 XLS about 6 months ago. Been sitting for 3 years. A little work and it was worth the $1200.
I like these videos' when you go into the field, so to speak, and check out these older vehicles. Looking at these vehicles and their condition, they tell a story. What did the previous owner do? How did it get in that condition? Cool stuff.
Older vehicles is all I buy and have never spent more than £2,400 on any car in 35 years of motoring which was the most unreliable car I've had for many a year so I'm back driving an 05 Mondy and it's brilliant.
I will never forget that engine sound. My dad used to have a L200 Trojan. It was a beast off-road. It was a great in town too, no curb too big :,D
Good times and great car.
This is a great educational instructional video on buying an older used car, excellent stuff.
Love this channel my favourite feature is these older car purchases & see how it all pans out 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
I had a mitsubishi L200 2003, same era and thoroughly enjoyed it. Its fun to drive something agricultural, going for a drive was always an event and it put a smile on my face.
Re sloppy drive, mine wasn't, except the first half turn of the steering wheel did absolutely nothing, then it turned very sharply after that. Don't worry about scratches and bumps, it adds to the character.
Of course the misses hated it.
It was crude, bouncy, loud, especially tiring on long journeys.
But I loved it!
I sold it 2yrs later for 50e more than I paid.
Thanks for the video.
I have exactly the same on a 55 plate, its a beautiful 4x4.
I also have another one, a Shogun Sport Equippe, 2001 which somehow drives better than the Warrior.
Seems to pick a lot of cars up lately from the same empty bit of woodland, bet the doggers really love him 😂
I bought one of these new in 2002, in Australia you only got the 2g72 3.0 petrol V6. Wasn't real quick, and pretty thirsty too. Ultra vague steering and not a lot of kit either. Ended up trading it for a '96 80 series LandCruiser with low ks. Now THAT was a car for sure!
Wish to find this in my country specifically with a manual, always preferred the simpler tech and boxy body of this generation, it's perfect for the roads here. I daily a vehicle with a non-turbo version of the 4d56 engine, just love the sound of a diesel.
These are very good 4x4s. Went quad biking in Wales few years ago and the owner had to drive us up a mountain gravel road of 30 degrees whilst towing 5 quad bike's on the back and it did without break a sweat.
great looking car! love to see it when youve got it up for sale
I have 2002 one of these in New Zealand - 2.8 turbo diesel with 335km on the clock and I love it like an old friend. About time for an upgrade but there's a certain freedom about having a car where the odd additional bump or scratch causes no stress.
Love these uploads Matt
I was pleasantly surprised by this! When I lived in a flat my downstairs neighbour had a couple of these when they first came out. I never quite knew whether they were an L200 with an estate body like a Hilux Surf, or a model in its own right.
That’s right, they are similarly styled to a Surf
Was looking at these the other week
All the best to you mate. Car looks nice and clean
Enjoyed the video and thank you for the reminder for the draw.
Great video!
Another good video review
Thanks Matt
Another fun HPA field excursion and the truck appears to be smart (especially for price). Cool purchase, thank you👍
Haha thanks!
Now that's more like it! A nice little knockabout 4x4 with plenty of character. Tidy too. I would have it if it were cheap enough! Just need a matching strap in the other side!
My Dad had one of these - absolute money pit! I loved it though. You're lucky you got the owners manual for the Pajero Sport - ours had the L200 one for some reason
I try not to comment on your older videos since finding your channel recently, Matt. But this one deserves it. I learned that this SUV is apparently still sold outside of America. Highly controversial vehicle. Know as the Montero Sport in America. (There was a completely different SUV sold along side it just called the Montero.) The Sport during certain model years suffered from horribly excessive roll-over issues that injured many folks. When I say that, I mean even by SUV standards. Massive class-action lawsuit against Mitsubishi. The company pulled a very sleazy move.
They stopped selling it, entirely here. (Those model years version that had the issue.) Then had their lawyers file one motion after another, after another.... Delaying the start of the lawsuit proceedings for so many years, that by the time the suit actually began; there were no working Montero Sport models left in America, of those model years. The few that existed, were non-running to an extreme degree. Usually rusting away in junkyards. Unable to get independent testing done on any working examples of the Sport, the Plaintiffs' lawyers were unable to prove that the SUV suffered from horrendous roll-over. Thus the case against Mitsubishi was dismissed. Later versions didn't have that issue. But backlash from the public caused Mitsubishi to pull the SUV entirely out of the U.S.
Had mine for over 10 years, still going strong, still in lovely condition. Agreed its agricultural, tax is bad (mine is a 56 plate too) but I still get a buzz driving it. Great facebook group too if anyone is keen on owning one 👍
Would love one of these, been looking for a decent one as a second moter for ages, nice find!!!
Pukka buy that one!
Loads of life left in it. Fresh mot, bumper clipped up properly, ebay special in the dash, worth 2500 for a quick flip all day long. Not worth minting up in my humble opinion. Would work for all sorts of people. Field hack. Tip runner or even a green lane project. Great content as usual Matt, thank you
You know your stuff. Looks like another good buy.
I enjoy these part ex walk around, that you let us watch. Keep up the hard work.
Glad you enjoyed
Great review that - as I' looking for a large every day 4x4 (as seeing a house and renovating a new one.... and don't fancy filling the boot of my Countryman JCW with cement - many thanks Matt
That’s right. They still have their uses
Soo happy u back in the bog ❤️😁
Great show let’s see more finished results
Not bad, you’ll find some very appreciative farmer I’m sure. Great vids keep them coming.
I'd say you'll make some money on that one, Matt. In addition to the obvious stuff, some of those advisories from the previous MOT may need attending to but it should clean up well. And there are plenty of suckers out there who just MUST have an SUV - what, with the school run and all.
It's always worth checking the rear centre armrest on a new purchase... I bought a lovely Saab 9000 years ago. Promised it had a full history but the book was missing. Took the gamble and bought it. Having a general mooch it around when I got it home. Pulled down the rear armrest, and there was Saab service book duly fully stamped!
Rumor was that unscrupulous bidders at auction would get to a vehicle early, and hide the history away to put off other bidders looking around. No idea how true that is...but mine was certainly 'stored' in a strange location. The rest of the doc pack was in the usual place.
Really nice interior it looks very tougg inside and out. I prefer the mitsubishi l200 warrior from this era. Great find these old mitsubishis are very reliable
I've always liked the design of these!
Classic boxy 4x4 design
Brilliant videos how ever just wondering if you can up date us all on the past cars Volvo etc i appreciate you run a business and are busy just thought it would be a great video cheers
Favourite video from the channel so far
Very similar to the Toyota Surf. I had one of those go sideways on me around a mini roundabout. As soon as the turbo light came on, the back end stepped out. Luckily managed to catch it as it did take me by surprise. There are more Shogun Sports to choose from than Toyota Surfs so probably a better bet.
I see your at your usual dogging site. I had a subcontractor who had one of these and he loved it. Not a bad motor.
I bought one of these around 8 years ago to use over winter blue at the top silver bottom half think it was a equippe model, was excellent condition but very agricultural to drive like a disco 2
The blue tape should just add value to the car 😂 is that muddy place the only one you could find to filming your cars Matt? 😂 Great content as usual
Haha yes fingers crossed
Depends how rotten the sills are and other chassis bits, and whether there is corrosion near seat belt mounts. If they are no good its a scrapper. Otherwise it might tidy up nicely. My 04 Kia Sorento had had it by 2017 even though I got it welded. I kept it 12 months too long.
I like it ! Mitsubishi had some iconic shaped SUV's. You can tell the brand a mile away. Surprised they are so cheap. Be nice to see an update if you choose to get it fixed before you sell it. After polishing my shoes yesterday ( I highly recommend Saphir products ) I was cringing with each squelchy step in the mud in your boots. Get yourself some wellies Matt - you know it makes sense ! Or some SWIMS brand shoe galoshes
After filming I went and bought some new boots 😂
had one for 8 years. never got stuck. never broke down. dreaded tin worm got her in the end. they rust from the inside out 😄 Also road tax a killer.
That’s the trouble with Japanese stuff
@@HighPeakAutos not all now. Surely
What's tin worm?
@@MrSudanPresident rust
Had a 3.0 l v6 petrol shogun sport warrior. It was an awesome thing. Turned petrol into noise and a little bit of go.
I bought a really tidy one of these in July last year. It is actually registered in Jan 06 on a 55 plate so cheaper road tax.. FSH with 56,000 miles on it. It is just a great thing to drive, i like it a lot, but then i do like that era of 4x4s. I think yours will make a decent car with a bit of tidying up.
Good for you, mate
a brilliant vehicle, and very clean and maintained. One of the best off road vehicles, they just keep going.
Great content and very well presented. Greetings from Ireland
Thanks!
I had a Shogun Sport as a company car for 3 years...did about 100k in it. It was a 3.0 V6 Auto version. It was a great car and taken off-road countless times. Never got stuck once having switched the standard Bridgestone Dueller tyres for BF Goodrich All-Terrains.
Used to regularly warp the front discs - crap quality and very expensive for a non-premium brand (twice the cost of ML discs). I normally get 60-70k out of discs...these needed replacing at every service! That was the only grumble though.
Great as always mat 👍🍻
Cheers!
Your Chelsea boots deserve better! :)
Real shame about the road tax on these, and similar. Kills it off for many when it could be a great cheap workhorse. Nice review.
they still called these the Challenger all the way to the end of the PB Series here in Australia then when the PC came around they took on the name of Pajero Sport. i still drive a Gen 1 PA version of one of these its still pretty nice, being the only traction adding system of 4WD
Brings back so many memmories,I owned a 2001 and was brilliant so long as its kept well and maintained. Bad points is the head gasket and theirs an ally cylider head which does crack if overheated usually due to corosion inside the block( dont use tapwater to mix with coolant/ antifreeze,Ionized only)
Other bads is steering rack can get really loose,Their are a bolt to tighten but it doesnt make much difference and one needs 6th gear as it revvs like a wild boar😂😂
Other than these its a tank. 1999 - 2002 models made in japan,2003 onwards made/assembled in china and brazil,Service every 10 000 miles and maintain properly all good,Not fantastic off road but i'll get you home😂
Bought a SWB Shogun in '89 and it felt so slow after test driving a Daihatsu Fourtrak Van, but wasn't too bad after it was run in. Had it converted to a van at Mitsubishi UK Cirencester (they didn't offer them off the shelf), ran it as a van for 15yrs then put the windows and seats back in and used it as a family wagon for another 5. Daihatsu were the new kids on the block back then and were half the price of the Mitsubishi, probably should've opted for Daihatsu as it drove really nice and at £9K including the vat was really good value.
Had 2 of these. Great work horses. Weak head gaskets and rear electric window fails
Sticker on air cleaner: "I Wonder what that means?" Gates Powergrip should refer to the cam belt, and Micro-V the auxiliary belt(s). So if those visible are Gates branded you're quids in with the cam belt, assuming it wasn't done too long back.
Also surprised you didn't use 4x4 to get out of the mud: good opportunity to check for transfer box and front diff whine. Low ratio too? Great video though Matt.
Great car. Just a clean and black masking tape to replace the blue tape.... Job done👍😎
Thank you!
i know this might be a little late, but gates powergrip (the sticker on the airbox) is an actual timing belt kit. and a damn good one.
It was called ‘Challenger’ in Australia. Ownership could be challenging……
It’s the Mitsubishi version of the Toyota 4Runner. A wagon built on the chassis of their twin cab utility.
The same engine was also in the Hyundai i800.
Gotta be worth prep. Probably sit you at £2k so long as you don't get carried away with painting everything, and it would probably do £3495 on the pitch. Not a bad wee motor underneath, and sought after by many! 👌
I was looking at 04 and 05 Shogun Sports before I settled on an 05 Honda CR-V Sport 2.2 diesel. The issue with the Shoguns is they are cheap to buy, but cost more to maintain, or so I kept hearing. And with the 55 plates onwards the tax goes up to £650 a year.
Opening a car door with a key, that takes me back! I was hoping you would have to wind down the windows.
That gates sticker on the air filter is for the cambelt!!
Ive bought one cheap too, few years ago. Pros - itnwas fully loaded and you could drive over anything without realising. It was fun to drive off road.fuel consumotion was decent, comparsble to other car i had at the time with 35mpg. Cons- its not made for long motorway journeys, at least not the diesel one, over 60 mph it was just too much, i mean it did 80 mph but the engine was reving like hell. Headgasket was out when i bought it, i had it fixed and it was running happily, but the next owner took it for a long drive across europe andnit blew it again in a worse way. I hear its common with them.
Hi Matt I wouldn't spend too much on this vehicle, you've already spent a tenner get it through its MOT then see if it's worth persevering with, that bumper and rusty front wing is likely to blow any profit into the weeds.
Another good video, aren't we due one on the SL55 or is it the wrong time of year with the weather? Just love the red interior and its stance.
They were indeed called Challenger for a brief period in the UK, not entirely sure why they had a name change.
They aren't bad vehicles, just quite agricultural as it's essentially an L200 with a different body on top.
This îs a great job for Autoshine Cars
The sticker îs for the Timing Belt, it says Gates powergrip, which îs a Timing Belt aftermarket manufacturer
I had one for 5years and did 100,000 miles in it and it never let me down
Yes, interesting vehicle, Matt; I'd really like to see it once you've tarted it up and put it up for sale - with its price tag! (as per the previous comment ref the Volvo and the Accord... 👍
Apologies if its already been said but that sticker on the airbox does relate to the cambelt so might be worth checking again. Great vids btw.
I wasn't expecting the interior to be that luxurious ... was my first thought at the video started.
The ‘Gates “sticker on the air filter box was short the belt reckon as they make the best quality cam belts 👍
If I had a 17 year old kid In South Yorkshire I would deffo stop by for a car! Great content thanks. 🇦🇺
Think there was still some festive spirit around giving 1200 for it, considering the front wing and the fact he took the radio the tight sod!!!! Would be good to see a follow up video to see if it passes etc.
That is a Gates timing belt sticker on the Air filter cover 👍👍
dealer boots, Matt. Like a chealsea boot but poss more rugged. Hoggs of Fife do some nice ones for your rural adventures (other brands available)
Had one in Portugal. lived in the South and lot's of kms' were done is Spain. Not a "Pro" offroader, but plenty of space for you and your mates to throw all the stuff on that massive boot and have some fun at the beach and took it even to Sierra Nevada and Pas De La Casa... didn't got stuck on the snow and handled well the icy roads... Zero problems and I miss it a lot. Perfect car for what the Americans call the "Winter Beater"
That’s great. You’re right, perfect cheap winter car
