Not a "classic" but surprising
Discussion
Could be on a winner there - not many likely to save and treasure them so at some point not too far ahead the population of early Protons will have dwindled to a 2 digit number, most of them in a condition varying from slightly tatty to decrepit. If this car is still around and pristine by them, the factory/importer/someone else with a sentimental connection to that car model will probably twist the owner's arm while cherished/expensivly restored E-Types will still be available by the boatload (and doing well to recover half of their restoration cost). How's that for ROI?

There are millions (well hundreds) of old protons here in Kuala Lumpur some are in outstanding conditions, all parts available and no road salt so little rust.
I travelled in the back of a stretch limo Proton out in KL! Same horrible dash, interior etc but loads of leg room! I think the Hotel I was staying in had several. Very weird experience.In answer to my post Legingel, said, lets all get out there,
Well there are a number of reasons to come, many of them motoring,
Petrol at 40p a liter,
Track day at Sepang 20 pond,
Cheap road tax, (providing car is under 3 liter),
Slicks at 50 pounds each,
AA membership with recovery at 8 pound a year,
Cheap insurance,
No speed camera, etc
But the availability of Proton's isn’t one of the reasons to come
