I recently completed a 2,000 mile trip from the UK to the North of Norway in my 1992 Mitsubishi L300 Delica and it didn’t miss a beat. This vehicle was a recent acquisition but has quickly proven to be a dependable workhorse (despite being unloved for many years prior) and is now my rolling home in the Arctic Circle. It’s a great choice for overlanding as it seamlessly blends the practicality of a van with the capability of a legitimate 4WD (built on a modified Montero chassis). With this in mind, it’s a popular choice on our forum with recent adventure-equipped offerings including a 1991, 1992, and 1994. Today’s $15,999 1993 Mitsubishi Delica is one of the best values to date and showcases the desirable Chamonix trim and the sought-after rear limited slip differential. Further still, it has recently undergone extensive maintenance with many new parts. If you want a better idea of how this vehicle handles the backcountry, check out this nail-biting video from Kyle Garrity as he tackles the infamous Black Bear Pass.
From the Seller:
“The Chamonix trim is highly desirable and includes a rear limited-slip differential and premium cloth interior that has extra insulation. This is also a high-roof version without the problematic sunroofs. I absolutely adore this vehicle, and I’m only putting it up for sale due to the attention it draws. I’ve driven it all over North Carolina and Tennessee. Unlike one from a dealer, this one is ready to actually use daily.”
