ICYMI: Mitsubishi U.K. to Sell Off Its Entire Heritage Fleet

Back in July, Mitsubishi made an announcement: It planned to stop selling its cars in the United Kingdom, but first it would sell its existing stock of models already on the ground there.

However, just last week, the carmaker made another announcement, this one potentially much more exciting: Mitsubishi is going to sell off its entire U.K. heritage fleet—you know, the cars the company keeps in pristine, museum-worthy condition to show off every now and again.

Offered at no reserve, the auction for the entire 14-car collection starts April 1 and continues through the end of the month. You can view everything going up for sale over at Auto Auction, but we’ll share a few highlights:

A 2001 Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition signed by Tommi Makinen:

The very first Mitsubishi ever registered in the U.K., a 1974 Lancer 1400:

A one-of-40 2015 Lancer Evolution X FQ-440 MR, the most powerful car ever produced by Mitsubishi (rated 440 horsepower and 412 lb.-ft. of torque):

The 2007 Lancer Evolution IX Group N Works rally car that won the 2007 and 2008 British Rally Championships:

Also included in the auction are numerous private number plates, many of which feature MMC—Mitsubishi Motor Corporation—and CCC—Colt Car Company—lettering.

Although these are an ocean away and probably not legally drivable on American roads, what would be your pick of the bunch?
