customer feedback

I was keen to deal with someone who knew what they were talking about and had access to the widest range of vehicles possible. It was also important that I felt I could trust the person and the process. JSpec and Ben met all these criteria. I reckon I saved somewhere between two and four thousand dollars by buying at auction through Ben. Thanks mate a great vehicle.

The J-Spec Mileage Promise

Speedo tampering is rife in the Australian market to the point where more imports than not sold by Australian dealers have had their mileage wound back. See how importing yourself easily avoids this pitfall.

Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear (L400 series)

The Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear was an immensely popular vehicle in Japan, and with good reason, taking a flat floored large size wagon with ample space, seating and luxuries and mating it to a Mitsubishi Pajero engine and drive train. Delica Spacegears are fantastic as people movers, as cargo haulers, as 4WD vehicles and as just a regular car to drive. The remarkably high seating position makes for excellent visibility and a king of the road feel.

Seating is extremely versatile, front and second row captain's chairs are available (with arm side rests) and the flat floor allows you to walk from the front seats to outside the rear tailgate if you so wish. In 7 seater versions the second row of seats can swivel 180 degrees, tilt flat to make a bed with the third row, can fold up the lower part for more room, and can slide all the way forwards to but up against the front seats making a large cargo area. The rear seats can fold down to make a bed, fold up out of the way or be removed altogether.

Standard and optional features can include:

auto or rare manual transmission	7 or 8 seats
low roof or high roof	long or short wheel base
captain's chairs	twin sunroofs
Crystal Lite roof (power front sunroof and 4 rear glass roofs with power blinds)	power curtains
heated seats	dual zone climate control
dual batteries	single or dual airbags
hi and lo range 4WD with centre diff lock	rear LSD
inclinometer	cooler box
central locking	active power lock on sliding door
rear seat footrests	chrome front bull bad (series 1 only) and side steps
rear ladder	fog lamps
ABS brakes	heated mirrors
electric side step	electronic suspension control

There are a variety of chassis types available for import, all 4WD versions feature Mitsubishi's Super Select system which allows for 2WD (2H), constant AWD (4H), high-range AWD with centre diff lock (4HLc) and low-range AWD with centre diff lock (4LLc). Chassis types are:

PE8W = High Roof 2.8L turbo diesel
PD8W = Low Roof 2.8L turbo diesel
PF8W = High Roof 2.8L turbo diesel long wheel base (rare)
PD6W = High or low roof 3.0L petrol
PF6W = High Roof 3.0L petrol long wheel base

Available in 7 or 8 seater, low roof versions can have dual sunroofs while high roof versions can have Crystal lite roof.

Delica Spacegears saw a facelift in 1997, series 2 models feature different headlights, bumpers, front guards, bonnet and tai lights, plus interior trim changes, and the front bull bar was no longer available. An electric side step was made standard on higher spec models. There was also increased power and minor mechanical issues were attended to in response to owner's feedback such as a different fuel pump to the fault prone series 1 unit.

MODEL LINEUP

There are approximately 50 different named models of Delica sold by Mitsubishi and worse still many features of higher spec cars were optional on the lower spec vehicles, so even a base model can have the same features as a higher one.
