- Bringing Home TWO MORE Protons - Including A REAL Barn Find!
#proton #protonsaga #car #barnfind
Around a year ago I bought a collection of 6 Proton's locally. 2 of them were tucked away on a farm, across a bridge, over a stream and a cow field and in a barn ... Mrs JC, recovering from the shock of the other 4 turning up last April, thought id forgot I needed to collect the other 2. Thankfully the team at JW Recovery in Boston reminded me that they were still there ... and so we went and got them. This is the video documenting us getting them out and home! What next? I'm not actually sure

We Proud and We from malaysia
indeed.. im malaysian and i owned an iswara aeroback.. thank you
It was one of my family car back when i was a kid growing up in malaysia.. brings back alot of memories when i see one even til this day.. i thank you for this build ❤❤
S/O 🎉 from South Africa... I own a Proton Persona... 😊
👋👋👋
Thank you for review our national car sir, can’t wait for the restoration ☺️
More coming soon
It is satisfying to see these Protons rescued from captivity. Good luck!
Many thanks!
This Proton Saga was my 1st car. Engine pretty reliable. Cheapest that I can get that time. Worth the money I spent.
Fantastic :)
Good job JC, you have saved it from extinction from the face of the earth.
👍😊
I am moved to see your efforts to give the soul back to this Proton Iswara. Hopefully it will inspires especially the young Malaysians to continue to conserve and preserve this national car. Thank you very much Sir. God Bless you and family.
🇲🇾👍😁
Credit to the good old Proton for starting & Great save
Indeed! 😊
Find an old Skoda or even a Fiat and put the Proton engine in it , much better lol as i cannot for the life of me stand the look of the old Protons they look uninspiring and designed in a coffee break by someone at the Proton factory.
@@christineayres7199 Designed by Japanese, actually - the Proton was based on an old Mitsubishi Lancer, as assistance given to the Malaysian government to get their domestic motor industry going.
Not familiar with Protons across the pond, but as soon as I saw the Mitsubishi oil cap, I knew this was not a lost cause.
They are really lovely reliable motors :)
wow so proud to see malaysian national car!!! thanks sir for the effort
Thank you 😊
Can't wait to see your dads reaction 🤣
😂😂
the fact that UK spec iswara has more quality than the national malaysian specs
Indeed
Just stumbled upon your channel. nice to see that you've saved two more of these rare beautes!
Thanks for watching 😊👍
Absolutely fantastic. I love the MPi. I worked for a proton dealer when the MPi was launched at the motor show. Looking forward to this.
Cheers John - plenty more Proton videos on the channel about the others in my collection :)
You are getting thousands of malaysian subscribers jon. I dont hesitate to sub by a glimpse of a proton car
I am aware the Malaysian people are very supportive of their national car - i am glad about that :) - many more Proton videos coming
this is awesome! i remember watching that one video of the dude destroying that saga and it made me sad. i thought that was the last one
Thankfully not 😊👍
this kind of model i remember smoked my car on the DUKE Highway, cant wait for the restoration video
😊👍
Here after Hot Wheels released a model of the Saga. The BEST Malaysian car ever in my opinion!
Me too! Cheers for being here :)
I absolutely love these things! Imo, such an attractive design. Im glad to see someone starting to rescue the old Sagas!
😊👍
The design of a Proton Saga is nice.
I agree :)
In malaysia we cant find a good condition like that...nice car u have bro....
Thanks 👍
It is my most favourite car and I have a lot of my childhood memories on Iswara now I have own a 21 years old Iswara aeroback for daily use and travelling
Excellent :)
@@JonCoupland Thanks
Cutting the grass must be fun!
It's like car Tetris!
You absolute Legend,these cars were Bully's Star Prize back in the day..on Bullseye.there is a Hot Wheels Model of this car.
I do have a few of the models people have sent me - would be cool to paint them like my fleet :)
I have you on another you tube channel with your Protons and we did get them in Australia and l know or at least one Proton ute for sale in a local car yard as these are rare in Australia l do see them occasionally even there is a couple of Proton Jumbuck utes driving l know its not one Brumby ute is because they are different colours and didn't they use Mitsubishi mechanicals from memory but it's good to see two more Protons saved
Thanks for watching 😊💪
Blimey the one may go again but the one is rotten surely I bet Mrs JC was like what has he done now 😂😂😂
She certainly wasn't best pleased 🤣
I'm glad you've saved two of them. I remember as a kid them arriving in the late 80s as a brand and whilst using old tech they were still good value. You saw them on the roads all over during the 90s but then the brand just seemed to disappear.
So please save them both.
These ones will be stripped sadly to save the others in my fleet but if it helps im keeping 6 others on the go :)
Love a proton,fso,yugo or a lada getting harder and harder to find.
Absolutely
Never mind what the Mrs said Jon, I wonder what the neighbours said in that big house next to yours, eyebrows raised I'd of thought 😂.
I think they are probably used to it by now!
From Malaysia Im ready follow and subscribe jc Chanel for this proton restore❤❤
Thanks 😊
Very nice car❤
It sure is!
Exactly the same engine and ancillaries in my 1992 Hyundai Scoupe!
Ah brilliant. Mitsubishi Magma engines
Green street hooligans...watching from Kuala Lumpur
☺️👍
Im very excited to see your future plans for these protons
Thank you
Not seen one of them on the road for at least 5/6 years now! Last time I seen one my brother had it and it was stolen 😂
Oh no! I'm a collector. I have quite a few right now
Proton Saga made in Malaysia you should be proud of Malaysian product.❤❤❤
I am ☺️👍
Great video. Would love to see a walk round both inside and out followed by a clean!
Coming soon!
Mantap bro proton🇲🇾🇲🇾
😊👍🇲🇾
New subscriber here, due to a TH-cam recommendation. I've been a fan of the Proton Saga ever since I saw the model on Top Gear at the time of its initial UK launch. Also, a friend of my family won a 1.5GL Lynx saloon in 1991, which I thought looked spectacular.
Looking forward to seeing more of the cars in due course :)
Thanks for being with us! Tell me more about the car that was won?!
@@JonCoupland I'm not sure which competition the family friend entered to win the car (possibly one run by the local Proton dealer, Westbrook Cars), but the Lynx usurped the 1990 Fiesta L which he'd bought new the year before, as he found it was better suited to his family's needs. Incidentally, someone a few doors up the street won a Renault Clio in a competition run by a pet food manufacturer around the same time.
Firts Malaysia car .Proud to be Malaysian
🇲🇾👍😊
It's a Festival of Protons! Looking forward to what these reveal :D
Cheers Romac ☺️ - I can't wait to jet wash them
I got one and still on the road..
And if I got enough money to travel with her I'll going to you there my brother.. I hope so.. 😅❤
Enjoy :)
Damn.. Can't wait for the next video
Next video is now here :)
Terrific video, looking forward to seeing what you’re dealing with in the next video
Cheers Mark 😊👍
First time seeing the royal snail van 🤣
Ah really?! 😂
If you cant save both at least you should be able to make a good one 😂😂😂
Absolutely
Terima kasih tuan.from malaysia😊
Thank you :)
Sama sama is thank you ❤
now put a 4g93 in it and have fun.. it was ready for it
That would be fun!
That's a nice trailer with a driver cabin and a/c. Trailer? And good thing the guy used the steering wheel instead of using his foot to steer like the 'Flintstones'.
Absolutely!
Couple of scuzzy looking Protons there Jon!
But they'll save a few others, or make excellent footage cleaning them up to see what is saveable and what is scrap.
What will Mrs Jon Coupland think? 😮
Well I know what Mrs David Johnston would think 🤔 and it might hurt a little 😂
She won't be best pleased 😂
The Malaysian proud national car...❤❤
:) Hooray
You'll end with the entirety of the remaining protons in the UK at this rate good luck tho and great stuff as always
Cheers 👍☺️ I've certainly got a fair few
According to Jeff Buys Cars
There's NON LEFT !!!!
Cant wait cleaning process
First jet wash - coming tonight!
brilliant
Cheers :)
Yes!! Finally a follow up on K582 SVL
I have been anxiously waiting since the last video looking at this car in the barn
The reason I'm so excited about K582 SVL in particular is there's something very unusual about it that I'm not sure if you've noticed (You probably have, being the all encompasing proton expert)
The indicators are on the wrong side!!
Every other Proton I've ever seen has had the indicator stalk on the correct side, the right - while this one in particular seems to have the stalk on the left, in the more modern preferred style.
This has boggled my mind for ages now, why is the indicator stalk on this side?
Looking at the legend on the stalk, the little high beam icon isn't the wrong way up, so it appears to be a seperate part from the right hand stalk version, making me believe this was a factory option, rather than a bodge that a previous owner has done at some point
Were you able to specify at the dealership that you wanted the indicator stalk on the left hand side for some reason??
Thats a really great observation and actually .... one i hadnt noticed. I have no idea how or why this has happened but im certainly going to go and check the others now!
Already looking forward to the next one. Pretty sure there's enough solid bits on each car to make a good one, though I can't wait to see your dads reaction to all this too 😁
I can imagine what his reaction will be!
Malaysia boleh 🇲🇾 Tq Tun Mahathir ❤
👌☺️👍
in malaysia there is plenty of them abandoned and sitting rot beside road
I'd love to rescue them
the UK steering wheels are SO cool compared to the Malaysia market ones... sone Citroën esque single-spoke stuff going on 🔥
Yes they are! :)
WOW! These could be a bridge too far, find out in the next thrilling episode,Will the hero survive?
No. No he won't 🤣
@@JonCoupland hahahahahaahah! doghouse for you then, at least you will have good company with the Inspector
We still have alot here
👍😊
Interesting use of apostrophes all around.
we' ne'ed to us'e th'em mo're ;)
Bukan Iswara je dia org simpan.saga se saga night ori..siap ada cop eon.
:)
next video...😊
It's on the channel 👍👌🇲🇾
Was that engine carried over into the Wira? It looks pretty much identical to the unit in the early 2000's Proton Wira 1.5 I used to own. I must admit to having a bit of a sneaking fascination with the earlier Protons.
Yes and many other models too :)
im in for the long haul jon, still wish you would disclose about the one i was going to buy
Was that the GE? I really should do a video about it - it's a good story!
U can find the parts using Shoope Malaysia
Sadly Shopee doesnt ship the the UK
Hyundai Pony have exactly same engine
Good to know 😁👍
Only car made in Malaysia.....best place for them!
What about Perodua ... ☺️
@@JonCoupland oh dear!
Would it not with recover drivers aok be better the jet wash both down on the way home so you can see what your dealing with and which parts will be ok to use on the other one.
Ps. Your more hubnut than hubnut we need a prodder next
Thanks for watching. I enjoyed being able to wash it at my leisure 😊👍
Great video! Maybe you will be better off buying a car trailer than a "truck"? You know those have a very low capacity. Get a trailer and a decent towing car, much better
That's a good idea PLUS don't need to tax and insure a trailer!
my guess us the K-reg has no engine as it's sitting high in the front.
Latest video coming soon ;)
Old proton logo look better
This is the UK logo
What does Mrs C think?
Erm ... 😅🤣😭🤦♂️
That " she's moved into a scrap yard "
can do fully restoration and engine rebuild
Not sure that will be coming
hello! i just subscribe of course but I just notice that my saga is drifrent than u mine dosent have sunroof and I am from malaysia.
Sunroof mainly UK Spec
I'm a little bit concerned that "Barn find" Proton has no engine and gearbox. It rides somewhat high in the front suspensions.
You may be right! Obviously I now know the outcome (full video coming soon) - but ... Yes
Runs on the good old 4g15 SOHC 12V Mitsubishi Engine.....
The very same. Bulletproof ☺️💪
These cars are they front wheel drive or rear wheel drive?
Front Wheel Drive :)
@@JonCoupland 🆗
Cari produa kancil pulak
☺️
The 'door open' alarm sound is awful.
Yup!
What does the inspector say
Uh oh what will Mrs JC say 🤣
@JonCoupland what will Mrs JC say I bet she won't be happy
She said “They’re dog RUFF !”
Definitely have a car collecting disease 😂
Is there a plan, or are you just mad?
I know I'd be in the doghouse if i did that. Already she can't understand why I've got 3 cars and nobody else drives in my house 😮
Just mad 😂
No rat inside the car??
Thankfully not!
mana esemka?🤣🤣
🤣👍
😳 Why bother??
I have a collection of Proton cars that will always need parts in the future. Also ... Content 🤣
Why would anyone save a Proton?
I have a large collection of Proton cars. I've saved these to use them as spare parts cars to keep mine going. These will then go and be raced
Amateur hour here, with the sincerest apologies to the poster/owner. Just batter the wheels for starters, that will move them, Want to know more? Oh and i've had hundreds of them. That notchy second gear? The horrible noise you get off the light//key, The pool of water in the spare wheel well, as the boot seals are always bad Don't get one with electric windows or basically anything. Rebadged mitsubishi colts. NOT a bad car, just reliable but crap-reliable.
Hi and thanks for watching and your comment Allan :) - we absolutely knew about smacking the wheels to free them off ... but ... that was difficult as sadly we didnt have a lump hammer with us where we were. That was my fault for not bringing one. When we arrived at my home, we certainly gave them back wheels a good smack and they freed off lovely and rolled down the drive. Cheers for your insight into Proton Sagas, im assuming this may be the first time you have watched the channel? I've got currently possibly the largest collection of them in the UK (check the other videos out if you can!) - and am certainly 'au fait' with the ins and outs and their quirks. You are right about them being rebadged Mitsubishi - my very early '89 and '90 cars have mitsubishi part numbers scratched out and stamped over with Proton part numbers and the Mitsubishi Logo on the air box AND the toolkit. I genuinely think you may enjoy seeing the other Proton cars in my collection :) - more Protons to come!
Why on Earth would you want to save a Proton ? They were awful cars LOL I would rather save a Corsa B than any Proton as at least the Corsa's of the 1990s were desirable , Protons were OAP vehicles even Rover i would rather have , also I had a 1997 Nissan Micra in front of me today in Bracknell it was in such a bad condition rust all over it but somehow still driving on the roads dodgy MOT i suspect as no brake lights lol , anyway i was surprised the Proton started up but please explain how you like them ? as i cant see the appeal at all LOL
As you know. They appeal to me. Can't explain why as I don't know. I just like them😊
@@JonCoupland 😃👍 that's a unique taste for sure 🤣👍
I like cars seen as "underdogs".Proton,Moskvich,Wartburg,Daihatsu,(own three) etc.
@@keithhooper6123 I do have a soft spot for the Ladas lol 🤣 👍 you can actually buy a brand new one for like £10 grand but I wouldn't advise it
Can't buy in the UK.
Has it got a engine in it ? 🫣
At this point ... I didn't know the answer to that question 🤣
What a great Mercedes Sprinter towing vehicle . How easy . Wish they had car recovery in Australia like that . 🇦🇺🦘🐨 Just to add your smart car content is so helpful and interesting . 😊
Ah cheers and thank you ☺️
