AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Originally delivered new in the Netherlands, 1981 Mitsubishi Celeste 1600 ST
• Rare classic Japanese sports coupé with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission
• Finished in Silver Metallic, retaining its distinctive fastback profile and original details
• Valid Dutch roadworthiness inspection (APK) through 2027
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
Introduced in the second half of the 1970s and built on the platform of the popular Mitsubishi Lancer, the Mitsubishi Celeste was designed as a lightweight, sporty liftback coupé. The model combined dynamic styling with proven engineering, including a four-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive and a low kerb weight. This particular example is an original 1981 1600 ST delivered new in the Netherlands. Today, the Celeste is a rare sight on European roads and among Japanese classic cars.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The bodywork is in neat condition, with well-aligned panels and its original fastback lines intact. The car is finished in the factory colour Silver Metallic, which presents well with light signs of use consistent with the car’s age.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in neat, well-kept condition and retains its original early-1980s appearance. The dashboard, instruments and upholstery form a complete, original ensemble with clearly laid-out controls.
ENGINE AND MECHANICALS:
Under the bonnet is the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine producing 73 hp, paired with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine runs well, and the brakes, steering and drivetrain are all in proper working order.
DOCUMENTATION:
The vehicle has Dutch registration and a valid Dutch roadworthiness inspection (APK) through 2027.
We recommend viewing the vehicle before placing a bid to avoid disappointment. To arrange an appointment, please contact Catawiki. Bids exclude transport and export costs unless stated otherwise.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
