A quck vehicle check shows this Proton as having 2 previous keepers and the mileage appears to be genuine. Don't forget to SORN it as soon as you get the V5C. The V5C is NOT proof of ownership. It is just whoever is legally responsible for the vehicle (ie - sombody for the police to go after). With most cars, the Registered Keeper is also the legal owner. A clean, a full service and new brakes should see it well on the way to an MoT pass. It should also be eligible for clasic car insurance.

We owned a Proton Persona which caught fire after 5 weeks. It was written off but we bought it back off the insurance and fixed it. The flexi aircon pipe had chaffed through and sprayed oil over the exhaust manifold causing the fire. Replaced the pipe and a cable loom. Had the bonnet resprayed and the car never let us down n the following SEVEN YEARS we owned it. It should be a good car, but you might find it steams up with condensation in the winter. The rear light seals are not the best. Nice one!

Oh I love it. I used to have one of these - Satria 1.3 Li on a 53 plate. It was the car I told the story about on one of your live's years ago that catapulted its stereo out of the dashboard into my passenger's lap when I hit a pot hole at speed. They are not very fast, not greatly economical but have plenty of character and indicators on the right! I remember mine ran a bit lumpy at one point but a new coil pack sorted it. Aside from that it didn't let me down in the year and a half I had it. Despite being Malaysian, it's a Mitsubishi Colt (Proton bought the old design and tooling) so that's JDM in my book. Looking forward to following this one

@Driven247 8 күн бұрын

I can’t forget that story can I? Made me chuckle! I’m planning on going live before the weekend actually, keep an eye… Yeah, knew they pretty much the same as a Colt, the Proton just looks cool and wide at the back! Thanks Alan.

@alansimpson835 8 күн бұрын

@@Driven247 I agree. I always loved the shape of the Proton Satria/ Persona Compact and always thought those alloys really suited it too. Reminds me of the AMC Pacer in Wayne's World and the iconic Bohemian Rhapsody moment. I loved my wee Satria and have always contemplated another. I do check Ebay every so often and have been tempted. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with yours

Hi I’m a 1st time viewer and subscriber. I’ve bought about 10 cars from Sliverlake auctions in early 2000s and I’ve never been disappointed b4. They even do parts and there own vans do the deliveries so no damaged parts. You got a little gem of a car. I think the reason you have spare indicator in the boot is there’s not many of these cars around so last owner picked it up when he had the chance. Good Luck 👍👍

Best of luck getting parts for a proton. The bonnet stay is the bit at the very front of the car and the belts that u don’t know are the alternator belt and the power steering bels and the cam belt is behind the grey cover. We used to have a proton savvy come to us and see trying to get parts for that was an absolute nightmare.
