Mitsubishi have been producing the Delica since 1968 and although it has never been a good looking vehicle, this modified 1991 model looks decidedly odd.

This Delica is currently up for sale from Japanese Classics in Richmond, Virginia and has been jacked up so high that it looks like a monster truck – sort of.

This Mitsubishi got a 15-inch body lift, a 2-inch suspension lift and 15-inch wheels installed with huge BFGoodrich tyres. It’s fitted a 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine mated to an automatic transmission that powers all four wheels.

The exterior has been given a utilitarian matte paint finish and tinted side windows. The vehicle is going for $9,495 (around R130 000).
