1996 Proton (Saga Iswara) - SPARES OR REPAIR - Just under 28,000 miles from new!!
Regrettably I have decided to list my Proton for sale, would firstly just like to say that I"ve had a number of cars over the years (much more high end examples) but somehow this little Proton has been the most fun to drive! Full of character, very economical and the best part of all ... you don"t have to worry about it. Not surprisingly everyone keeps away from it at the supermarket etc, it is seen as a joke! Which is why I quite like it, this car comes with no ego!. Very much an 80s feel in terms of looks and the way it drives, has power steering (very light!) and a lively engine which even sounds good when building up the revs.
Some of you may know these are basically a Mitsubishi in disguise mechanically. It"s a shame it needs some work for it to continue offering years of reliable transport. I"ve done 7,000 miles in her and it"s been a pleasure.
So the MOT is about to run out (21st November) and it needs a couple of things which I don"t have time to do, mainly because the labour costs will be too expensive so this would suit someone that can perform the work themselves saving the costs.
Needs CV joint ... main problem is the fuel filler neck which has become badly corroded, cannot be driven on a wet day due to this as water will get into the tank.
Runs and drives fine but fuel tank will need removing and cleaned etc as I suspect some rust has fallen in due to the corroded filler neck.
Other than that she is spot on, little bit of rust here and there but overall a very solid car with good paintwork and good condition interior. Please see photos.
I bought this car as a one owner (elderly gentleman), he even left his disabled badge in glove box. It had 19,000 miles on it.
I put the car in for a MOT after buying last year and at the same time had the cam belt replaced and water pump and full service and brand new battery, just had some new spark plug leads fitted also.
Ideal little project for someone to get her back on the road? Banger race? (would be a shame due to mileage) but a strong engine for it.
I"m still in two minds whether to have the work done but in the meantime feel free to make me an offer.
These are practically extinct on UK roads, some of you may know these have a big following in Malaysia especially with the SAGA cup! They are modified heavily over there, if anyone knows how to ship a car over there apparently you would easily get £1,500 because of the mileage and the fact this one is fuel injected which they didn"t get, injected was export only. Car is located in Norwich, viewing welcome. Any questions, feel free to ask.
