Mitsubishi Celeste ('79 2000 GT)

[gtd2000]

First of all this car had BFG plates fitted:

Pics taken outside of Bergen-Belsen at the railway sidings where a few unfortunate souls were offloaded to a fairly nasty fate.







Now renamed the Bullit - some bright spark in the Army decided that BFG plates might give the IRA a clue as to which cars the Brits might be driving in Germany.....











And here was my first car complete with BFG plates:

Neat little car! Just one question, would a football fit under it? ;D /cheeky curse word

Louvres FTW !

I can a Razzle snapper hooning around the Celeste - well porn!

Love 'em

ooh louvres ftw!!!

came in to a local autoparts store today and spotted some louvres on the wall (NOS)
they had Porsche 928, Volvo 343, Alfa Giulietta, VW Passat (dunno which), and vw Beetle asking price 50Euro's so if someone's interested?

Not that I remember

Those pics were taken some time around 1987 though

Awsome.
Normally I really hate rear window louvers, 'pop-out' sunroofs, slot-mags....

But all togeather on this car with the white lettered tyres & matching factory rr 1/4 window louvers it all comes togeather perfectly.

Even the 'Launching' nose-in-the-air rake some of the pictures seem to show (though not all?) works for it !

Back when I owned the car 1987~1990 I was considering a Starion engine transplant which would have been well beyond my means at the time.

There were also plans to lower the car but never got around to it.

It did turn a lot of heads back then - probably due to the rarity factor.

The only minus about this particular model is that it wasn't a particularly fast car - sure it could pull 126MPH on the autobahn going downhill and sit at 120MPH on the flat but it wouldn't have won any drag races

The US variant Plymouth Arrow GT with the 2.6L engine would have been a better power plant I assume?
