I have to say I prefer the basic scratchy plastic on Protons to the fake wood - its more honest. Then again I drive an 11 year old Dacia ha ha ha ha ha

[@MrAuriga67]

YES ! Without question Jon.

[@JonCoupland]

☺️☺️

[@faizalfnm7556]

Just thinking to review Proton's performance car such Satria GTI. It will be great if there is still limited edition Satria GTI still available in UK.

[@JonCoupland]

Would love to be able to do that

[@cyberputera]

Beautiful condition. I am currently own a 2005 proton wira hatchback. With this condition I will grab this machine asap

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

The door cards might be Mondeo but the Steering wheel is very Nissan Primera P11 as well.

[@JonCoupland]

Ah yes!

[@tobeycat2007]

I had an earlier 1.6 94 se proton persona and later 97 1.5 gls, great cars totally reliable. the gls was 5 door lot more practical. It does look nice if you can get it bit cheaper be great addition to your protons, cant be many left now, lot used as taxis round here just kept going. As you know spares easy to find from scrap yards now if needed.

[@JonCoupland]

Ah Brilliant I'm so so tempted

[@herihazril]

£1500 is around MYR9000... i think the asking selling price a little bit pricy... You can get the same model in Malaysia for just around MYR6000...

[@JonCoupland]

But would it be this good?

[@fhwolthuis]

Plus shipping 😉

[@mr_pastry]

Did I see a few ripples in the middle of the bonnet or was it the light? It looks lovely other than that though 👍

[@JonCoupland]

Ooh good eyes. I'm honestly not sure to be honest. I'd normally spot that

[@mohdshaifulrizalbmahmudriz9283]

If you can add proton putra 1.8 into your fleet it would be awesome,,,👍👍👍

[@JonCoupland]

We don't get that model here in the UK

[@mohdshaifulrizalbmahmudriz9283]

Even here in Malaysia its quite rare..but if u could get it, ,,,,,,👍👍👍👍

[@alansimpson835]

Good buy i reckon. Lovely colour, seems well looked after and good pedigree. Only things are expensive road tax and dubious fuel economy. Would it have had the double din head unit originally? If so i think i still have the one that came out of my 2004 Satria, hiding in a shed.

[@AlexanderJBarrett]

Feels like a foregone conclusion. Would be a real shame to pass up on something like that. I do think a Jumbuck would be a great addition to the fleet for hauling duties though

[@JonCoupland]

I'm always on the look out for one

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

It's that old and quirky now that is actually quite a cool vehicle. Scratch that, It's automatic with a 1.5L!!

[@JonCoupland]

Yeah the auto is really putting me off

[@tobeycat2007]

Has had more than one owner it looks like. Only 3 lux auto models left on the road.

[@JonCoupland]

Super rare 😉

[@faizalfnm7556]

Hi Jon, I believed back then Proton Wira is used by UK Police as Patrol Car right?

[@JonCoupland]

Maybe a few yes. Mainly however was Proton Impian. I think you might know as Waja? - they were LPG conversions. Used by Humberside Police

[@faizalfnm7556]

@@JonCoupland yup Jon, Proton Impian is Proton Waja in Malaysia. Thanks for the info mate.

[@theevanyeoh]

I think it’s time for you to get a Wira

[@JonCoupland]

Me too 😂

[@badbooks476]

Great condition for a 23 year old car, would have been nice to show the sills

[@JonCoupland]

Might have to go and have a look at it

[@alancollins9767]

Offer him a grand!

[@JonCoupland]

I might just do that

[@alancollins9767]

@@JonCoupland in fact no.... Offer £750 and a signed picture of the front page celebrity Mrs C!!! He'll snatch your hand off!

[@chriswalford9228]

Engine will do many more miles but no point buying it unless you are going to add those miles yourself

[@JonCoupland]

Well it would be added to my Proton Collection

[@JonCoupland]

But I know exactly what you mean!

[@PrinceCruel]

Many Malaysian convert proton wira to Mitsubishi Evo lll😅

[@JonCoupland]

Wow

[@loudcatcher13A]

pretty low miles

[@JonCoupland]

Indeed
