      I remember going to the launch of these at our local dealer.they even had a new showroom built for it.the food was great,the car rather less so unfortunatley,then again we did love our jaguars.still enjoying the content tho and its great that you are preserving them.Allways remember me uncle being interested in them because he had a hyundai steller 1 6 gsl,remember them! I think they must be as extinct as these are now.dont think he ever had a proton tho.

    this reminds me that I really need to send my car to the bodyshop for rust repairs asap. Despite the family have tons of cars, borrowing said cars so I can send the saga for repairs prove to be too much of a family hassle, I ended up just buy a new car for my work daily, the saga been sitting duck ever since. Which unfortunate now I can't afford for repairs.

    Very quiet car that engine Mitsubishi designed was a good engine like Australian Mitsubishi mirage 1.5L .
    Reminds me of my old 92 TP Mitsubishi Magna executive 2.6L 4cyl Astron Engine Australia built in Adelaide at Mitsubishi Australia .
    Same roof style lining plastic sides and door handles on outside .
    That cruised along quietly too once it reached highway speeds 4speed auto ..
    Lovely condition PROTON.
