The Mitsubishi Delica has something of a cult following on our forum, with recent overland-equipped offerings including this 1991, 1993, and 1994. The L300 is built on a modified Pajero chassis, and unlike many AWD vans, it boasts legitimate 4WD credentials. It’s a winning formula that provides the practicality and interior living space of a van with the go-anywhere capability of a 4WD. It’s for these reasons and more that it’s beloved by the aftermarket, which means this vehicle can be totally reimagined for adventure. If you’d like a better understanding of how the Delica can be transformed for overland travel, then check out builds from the likes of Overland Travellers, Delica L300 Adventures, and 2000Degrees. Cue today’s 1993 Mitsubishi Delica L300 4×4, which has been extensively uprated and meticulously maintained (see full details here). This has to be one of the most dialed Delicas we’ve featured, which makes it an impressive value at $17,000 OBO.
From the Seller:
“Imported to Canada in 2011, I purchased it in 2018 from a dealer and have driven it approximately 60,000 miles (mostly on highways) since then. This is a July 1993 production, featuring the updated 4D56T turbo-diesel engine with a water-cooled turbocharger. The van has undergone extensive rectification to address common issues and enhance reliability, structural integrity, and drivability. I fully stripped the interior, cleaned everything, treated the ceiling with a rust inhibitor, sound-deadened every surface, and rebuilt it with a custom/dialed-in house battery setup. It cruises comfortably at 60-65 mph, returns 18-24 mpg depending on the terrain, and climbs passes at 35-45 mph. I have a complete record of all services performed on the van, the title is clear, and it’s ready to go.”
