Strange to me that this happened in the UK. But when I thought about it over the week. Mitsubishi never offered the panel van variant with the newer front end in UK (we didn't get the exceed I don't think) and in 2000 when the space gear/mk4 was being sold, they didn't have a panel van offering...

Well i got the van, the VIN on the chassis plate matches the V5 document so the year is a 'Y' does that really mean it was built in 2000 for european export? it has no air bags and has the old square headlights etc

So you reckon it's year 2000 then @sk66 ? I've attached a side-on image here, I think it has the door dip on the windows you are on about. So that would confirm it is a later model? These small model details are exactly the help I was hoping for thanks for the efforts all

@sk66 I am UK based so US import stuff won't be relevant for me. But yes I see what you mean. I think it should be an '88 or' 89 van but going to be hard to prove unless this thing has a VIN. I will be picking it up in person this weekend so hopefully I can find out for certain then

Thanks @Terence Yuen , how is it possible for this van to be year 2000 though? I thought they stopped making this model/shape around 1994?

Ah thanks dude, do you know where the VIN is on these vans? The seller seems to be struggling to find the VIN plate I asked them to send me a picture of

Does this help prove anything? I expect based on that model number, that the van was actually manufactured in 1988?

Thanks dude! that document is mega useful. So then, my VIN having a 'Y' for model year is an enigma then? Given it isn't stated there. According to my research, 'Y' would be for the year 2000, which doesn't make sense given the body model of the van, but who knows I'll wait to secure images of...

Based on the Japanese VIN that confirms that it was JDM and definitely an import then? Based on your info above it sounds like the van might be older than the 1989 described? Thanks for the info and confirmation, the seller should be giving me an image of the VIN plate and engine code later so...

Hi guys, I have just bought an L300 that is listed by the seller as 1989. However, the V5 document says 'declared manufactured in 2000' and first registered in 2001. The seller advised that the van was imported, I'm struggling to find the truth with the VIN online. The v5 says it has a 4D56...
