Cheap Diesel 400/45/ZS

[ZS]

Yes, I picked up an 05 plate Proton Impian, with 41000 miles on the clock:

I do think the previous owner was a bit optimistic in his choice of keyring though!!

The car itself isn't in too bad condition, but does need a bit of TLC... Its a 1.6 Mitsubishi engine, so apparently should be reliable and frugal on the go go juice.

If it does the job for you mate - all's good.

As far as Lotus is concerned, I'm fairly sure that Lotus had quite a bit of involvement with Proton a few years ago. The Satria GTi suspension was engineered by them if I remember correctly and was well thought of. Bolt on bodykit and decent recaro seats too.

Had GTI for a project and it was a great car to work on but had to give up the garage space so didnt finish it

The Lotus connection is the fact that Lotus own Proton...

Its nothing special, but reminds me a lot of my old ZS tbh... right down to the boot hinges that drop into the boot space and crush whatever is in their way!!
