Have you seen any early Protons recently?

[cms206]

hey cms206. For a minute I thought you had 2 of them Leyland cars, but google put me right! I was thinkin Leyland Force 7 not bus. Ha

 

 

Afraid not, no... still, 11143cc straight six diesels make all the right noises.

 

Anyway, back on topic... some early Protons what I have spotted or owned.

Or ASDA car park. I've lost track of what the age cut off was supposed to be. It's gold though, right?

A few years ago I went to buy a saab of a chap in kingussie. he had retired up there from the midlands I think and bought a bed and breakfast type place. whilst chatting away, he mentioned he used to be in the motor trade. apparently he used to be "incharge of marketing and promotional stuff for proton uk" when they first came to the uk. sadly I cant remember any of his fascinating stories, of which I seem to remember there were a few.
