- When I got offered a Proton 1.5 GLS Aeroback (Saga), I could hardly refuse! So, we now own two Malaysian cars.
Naturally, it's pretty dreadful. Join me as I demonstrate just how much. I quite like it though. Now I just need to get my Bluebird finished so I can crack on.
As usual, Ian Seabrook filmed this video on his mobile phone. It's just his life in digital form.
Most memorable proton cars.
Ikr, semoga project saga berjln lancar
Had one of these in the metallic blue as my first car! Bought it for £100 in 2008 and scrapped it in 2010 for £150. I genuinely regret that. It was the toughest car I ever had.
Underrated, these were seriously good in late 80's/early 90's
I drove this car for almost 15 years before buying a Lancer GT. Honestly, this is the toughest model from Proton. The engine will still running smoothly even though the engine oil is almost drying.
Any Malaysian here ? 😂

Great car, never failed my family not even once. Aircond still works after 30 years.
songkok7hitam because you take a good care of it. all cars last long if we know how to handle it :)
wow most aircon compressors fail around by the time you reach 80k-100k kilometres!
mine over 300k km, compressor tak pernah tukar.....aircond till now sujuk sangat2....proud of my proton Wira.
wah lucky cat!! maybe soon akan datang...300k eh?
good job for taking good care of your car :D
owned a 93 GLS Saloon for 12 years & 80k miles, apart from servicing only changed a clutch and a battery (twice) in all that time
That looks pretty old. My grandpa own a 25 years old 1.5 Saga fullback. Pretty durable, quick accelerating.
He sold the car. He regret it.
Quick accelerating...righto..
@@motleydude73 Back then, most cars on the road had 0-60 times of 20s or more, so it was ok. For someone who has owned very few cars or traded in an Austin A35 for it, that IS fast
@@charlesc.9012 Rubbish. 1991. Plenty of cars were around 10 seconds... All mine were. Junk like Protons sure. 20 seconds is probably optimistic 😅
@@motleydude73 Europe is not full of 10-second machines, especially the likes of the UK. That is reserved for Hong Kong etc. where cars are status symbols
@@charlesc.9012 Rubbish. The US, Japan, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, all are inundated with quick cars... Well under 10 seconds. Hell even my old Camry can do it in 8 seconds. You need to get out more. More to life than old BL bombs 😅
My mother had the colt version of this. Within 8 years from new, EVERYTHING was rusted through, except the roof. Bumpers was hanging loose, channels gone, floor rotted out, hatch rusted through, arches gone, it was amazing! Car worked perfect, except for the insane rust.
malaysian iconic car called proton saga...popular around 90s..but their improve very much and still standing until now..not any people in car industry around the world know proton existence...btw you have a nice hobby..keep it up💪
faiz din yeah..malaysia people call this car farm car..hahahaha price is not like stupid quality..
faiz din
it's just a piece of shit
faiz din n its my daily car to work, inherited from my grandfather
wow!!
Proton Saga Aeroback was my first car.. used on our wedding too..
My mom still use it from 1997
Ai,ramai plk kt sini mengaku org malaysia..selalunya kutuk proton sampai xigt dunia..tiba2 bangga plk..lalang..
sanggupal sanggupal deep inside ktorg bangga.kau lek sudah.
Rkyat malaysia 28juta bro... Yg kutuk 28 org, ade ke kt dlm ni? 28 tu, tnjuk ckt
Aishah Faqar aku..awat???buuu..stupid performancan car in the world..
Work hard earn more dont get proton
kikiki lele performancan mende
Id never thought you would never got hold of a Proton Saga. Its astonoishing how you could get a car that rare for just £50 that's a bargain. Its worth more in scrap. Old cars are out there you just you have to look in the right places.
50£? Wow! Much cheaper than those in my country
@@cikgurusdhi £50, not 50£.
This car was in much better condition the last time I saw it going around my / HubNut's area in real life (only a year or two before this video)
Met a mini cab driver in Weymouth once - he had one that had done 330k miles - he was proud it had never had the head off and ran as sweet as a nut. He had just bought a "new" one ( a mere 40k miler ) and was selling the riginal one to another cabbie who was going to keep it working !!
wowow... it's much more cheaper over there compare to here (where the car was produced)
This one was exceptionally cheap. Really nice ones are £500-800, though that's still a lot cheaper than most cars.
HubNut thanks for the info 👌
cheap or not it's still a piece of shit
Dohn Joe Said the guy with a fake roblox hacker name.
Dohn Joe you never had one b4, just because its an old car its shit as u said, proton have improved alot since 90s. partnering with one of the best companies out there 🙏
Cool car, we never had Malesian cars here in Finland, no Proton or Perodua :( Love to have one of these
im from malaysia

Looks like u r malaysian
u're malaysian .. i knew it
Juka Ezul no I am Spanish lol
i cant wait to see more of the repairs. another motivational video.
We dont have a spec with sunroof here. Even the dashboard is totally different. Seems people outside malaysia enjoy a very good spec.
Muhd Izat Hadi Sunroof was fitted in the UK when GLS or SE specification. It does leak though...
There is one old man in my neighbourhood with his proton same color as your bumper. He kept every single exterior and interior parts as original look back in 1985.
Muhd Izat Hadi during this time yes indeed spect out there even batter than us but now same price slightly hike 2k above compare with our price
Most SUVs are 2wd here in the UK too, because looking like a 4x4 is more important than being a 4x4. What an odd world.
Starting a scrappers Ian?....Lol
Love the way you give the 'unloved' a chance.....Not all of us need to see and hear about multi million pound motors....Keep up the good work.
Thank you! There is huge fun in cheap old rubbish.
Absolutely....I've got a couple of 'cheap old motors' in a Mitsubishi Pajero Junior & an X-type Jag like em both for many different reasons....Cost me a lot more than £50 though!!
Ace. Have you seen my Pajero Junior video? Neighbour owns one. Great fun. Possibly not including motorways (we don't have those here).
I have Ian thanks....saw it just after I bought mine....As you say motorways are not it's 'thing', but as an about town car for me and the dogs...it's perfect.
HubNut
This first model of Proton Saga is known for his bold and thrilling action. its adventurous
in malaysia it's called tank car
youtube subscriber ini punchline...name timangan kete ni kete kebal...hahaha
youtube subscriber haha jilakeee hahaa terbahakk aku baca komen nie haha
haha btul tu .. klau lnggor kte ferarri .. ferrari yg truk
tank car or kereta kebal refers to saga lmst version..
Aizam Haziq Itu memang fakta beb
Even though I saw this vid when it was first published it’s popped up in my recommend list 4 years later. I periodically dip into your back catalogue to revisit your vids or check out ones I missed first time round, if I recall correctly this car was unexpected hit on your channel.
I like that car. I wish it was dark blue all around with the metallic blue bumpers :D.
czcams.com/video/dKBeENGflgY/video.html u can watch our proton new customized car
Drove a facelifted version for about 2 years that had power windows. I've lost count the number of times I watch this, and everytime it pops up on my feed, I would click on it in a heart beat :D
my family still have both Proton Saga from 1988 & 1989. and i am using both. proud of it :)
We never got these Protons made in Malaysia imported into the United States. We did have the Dodge and Plymouth Colt rebadged from Mitsubishi in the late 70's and early to mid-1980's. New Subscriber so i'm going back and watching all your older videos. Probably out of order, sorry Ian!
proud to be a malaysian and even more proud to see our cars reached to your country ,thanks to our superb ex prime minister's effort,dr mahathir mohamad
Mohd Zulfahmi Harith

i love proton.. im from south africa
I had a H reg 1.5 GL saloon that was about 2 years old and I got caught doing 105mph by Essex police (radar) on the m25 at 1am and lost my license great little car had 4000 miles on the clock when purchased 6 years later when sold had nearly 70000 miles never missed a beat
terry123416 a 105???? Bruh these things could go 95 topped out
Did you since get back a licence...?
dude,that was like RM250 only,but here in Malaysia,it still expensive even though it was used from 80s and it cost around £400
Van Java at the end he said 'none working car'.
I had one of this when studying in UK in 90s. Purchase it at £1k, after using it for 2 years sell it for £100 to the junk yard. The car still in working condition but don' t want to spend more money on it to sell it at open market.. love the car!
if u want to know Mr... in Malaysia we still use this for racing at the street
no we don't
Yeah Bro, Such a great car for street racing. 💪
I know right Bro. proton is copy Mitsubishi but it's still have the quality 👍👍
yeah bro. and its really worth when we get it #4gxx💕
well. we built it not buy it hehe.. stay safe on the road bro
About 20 years or so ago I was due to go on holiday and my VW Polo let me down badly but a friend of mine lent me a Proton he had just taken in part chop. I ended up swapping the Polo for it as it was a much better drive and he felt that he could resell the Polo easier because it was made by VW. All in all I think I got the better deal and ran it for another 18 months before I changed for a Sierra.
Gud luck sir can wait to see your new restoration look like i'll stay tune for that 👍
2:33 I like when you Closed it.The sound like a Thor's Hammer 😂😂😂😂😂
Chedingg!!!!!
I do like the shape of them, despite their faults. Looks as though you've bought a 'fun' project!
czcams.com/video/dKBeENGflgY/video.html u can watch our proton new customized car
seems good deal at 50 quid. look forward to seeing how it performs Thanks for sharing. Oh I think I remember seeing the launch at the London Motor show
Was launched at the Birmingham Motor Show in late 1988. My first motor show! Went on sale the following March.
HubNut my mistake always the London show in my mind 😴, yes up at the NEC
In malaysia , many of the car enthusiast that own this car put mtsubishi 4G91, 4G92 mivec and 4G93T. but , many of this car owner don't swap the engine and modded that engine because they loved the 4g15 or 4g13 engine . sorry for my bad english. atleast you get the point . I already own 1991 proton saga until 2008. 2009, I bought proton exora and I use it until now. proton campro cps engine are really realible . I pushed hard that campro cps engine from 2009 until now and nothing happen. so glad hahaha
Thank you! I can understand that easily enough. It will stay 4G15 while I own it.
me too dude...own proton saga in 1991...26 years till now...broke down many time...haha..i push it hard but no failure...n i love it so much even its a scrap..i do drive saga till now...never changed...
yelyah zarif that is good bro. my previous car which is saga , my uncle already use it . and that saga engine is still running really strong. well, i never pushed hard my old saga since i own it
campro are boring engine....have many problem.with the engine..
Kai sara maybe you don't know how to treat your engine right ? I have proton exora campro cps engine . when i bought it, after a week, i already push it hard until 7k rpm . go from kk-tawau-semporna(6++km) and pushed it hard all day without following the proton owner manual book. and until know , i doesn't have any issue for the engine. the engine give me a lot of fun you know . i know that engine is not suitable for the heavyweight proton exora mpv, but this tiny engine give a lot of power when the engine reaching 4k rpm and above. it's like driving a vtec engine yo hahaha( but i know vtec give so much power but less torque )
Great car.. hope it serves u well
Awesome,Im watching in Malaysia,irony.
I love it that you can do a car review on a car that’s soon to be scrap
I used to have this model.
the one that was imported to overseas , then brought back here for some reason.
Yep, go the same metallic blue as the bumper!
I used to have a Proton brochure from 1989/90 which showed the basic spec GE having black centre wheel caps. I reckon they might look good on this. Good luck!
Thanks. It's a gorgeous shade of blue. Doubt I'll ever have the budget to match car to bumper though sadly!
wow proton saga aeroback...from malaysia...i am from malaysia :D
Rusty Heart noob car
Rusty Heart that your problem doggy..play yourself
Yo Man fuck off bitch..
Yo Man what is your problem man? he just proud to be malaysian that produced a long lasting car.
MOHD IZZANI AFIFI AZEMI biar la dkt dia...mabuk ketum latu😂
I've heard of a hire car - this looks like a dire car. I do admire your optimism.
im from malaysia, i have one before, very strong car.
Have you seen the MIROS crash test? Crumples like paper - old junk
For £50, it will get you from point A to point B with absolutely no hassle whatsoever. We still have ours running perfectly well hehe
im Malaysia and what I want to say is, this best proton ever than new proton cuz this car have high quality
not many people know this car but it is a diamond in the rough, As a trivial aside at Wickes they have diagrams of how to safely load one's car and how not to and the car in the pictogram is one of these or at least it was until very recently.
My ex girlfriend had and still has one of these that she bought for £300 and it has never failed her. Not once. It is on a J plate. The radiator has been changed. It does what a car is supposed to do it does it very cheaply and it does not let you down. To all those who snigger at them consider how much you have paid for cars in the interim.
I sort of miss the cleanly defined lines of the Proton and yesteryear's cars more generally, by comparison, many of today's cars look like blobs bloated on steroids.
My Dad had a J plate 1.5 Aeroback, I inherited it when he died, my Mother warned my that I would find it hard to keep the speed down on the motorway. She was right, those 1.5 Mitsubishi Magma engines are just designed for high speeds.
Masihkah kau Ingat? kereta buruk ni lh naikkn nama Malaysia suatu ketika dahulu...
Rozaimi Rosli tu la pasal even kita jual kat luar negara mereka rmai beli tp temptan je mhl 😂
£1= RM5.62
You've got good taste in bangers, it's nice to see them getting fixed up and on the road again.
thanks 4your humble review.proud to be malaysians.
you idiots society was proud
Love all of these videos!!! Good to have a look around obscure motors instead of the same old generic stuff! Keep buying a making videos!
This is a tank. Not car. Fyi
muzamil nashar ahh the classic tank joke of the old/original proton saga
2:33 this sound prove that this car made from the same hard steel as used in tank.
im enjoying this video...thanks mate!
Those Apple Ferrari fresheners are a brilliant bit of modern chod.
£50 car !!! and people are paying £500 a month for the privalige of not owning a car, if you can work on cars yourself you can have very cheap motoring.
You like the light Blue, so how about painting the lower part of the car this colour, there are convenient trim lines to follow.
I love cheap cars. I reckon my Honda S-MX owes me about £1100 including purchase and repairs, for nine months of motoring. That's expensive by my standards.
My scruffy Carlton Estate has cost me about £2500 including purchase price (less tax and insurance) over more than five years, >£500 a year, it could have been cheaper but i have lavished mechanical parts on it because its a long term keeper, New springs & dampers, rebuilt brakes, new exhaust cat back (sh*tty pattern part that doesn't really fit, Grrr) engine top end overhaul (because an exhaust stud broke) + various other smaller parts, still really cheap motoring and the most comfortable car i have ever driven, its like driving an armchair. wonderful car.
I bet the previous owner cried when he saw that go...
Yea likely since the piece of shit depreciated to a rate of over 99%
Im from Malaysia...my father also have 1 like that...
I was working in Malaysia a few years ago, a colleague and we picked up two company fleet cars (new Wira model), literally from the factory... his broke down about 8 miles after we left. The transmission linkages hadn’t been assembled correctly. Tow and pick up the next day. $50, you overpaid.
The model you show was sold as the Proton ‘Saga’ - I don’t think they knew what that meant in English !
The badge was the best thing about that series... it had a light inside the crescent logo.
Proud to be Malaysian
Musnahkan Malaysia Bodo abah kau babi
kenapa orang indon ini bencikan Malaysia. klu benci sangat dengan Malaysia. panggil balik semua warga indon yang ada d Malaysia,sbb ramai orang indon buat Masalah di Malaysia. klu orang Malaysia yang cari kerja di Indon memang tidak bolh hidup. Tapi bila Orang indon kerja di Malaysia walaupun tiada passport atau visa,tapi orang terap layan bagus² kecuali pak polisi lah. sebab mmg kerja mereka tangkap orang yg masuk secara haram!!!!! macam kebanyakan orang Indonesia yang buat masalah di sini!
silat gayong benggong
Musnahkan Malaysia Bodo minta semua saudara dan keluarga ko keluar dari Malaysia
Musnahkan Malaysia Bodo bodoh abah kau busuk
A mate of mine had one of those. His grandad gave it to him having replaced it with something modern and hideous. My mate christened this, his first car, "Proton the Carbarian". It broke down sometimes.
By the way, loving your domestic panther, George!
there is too many proud Malaysian. calm down guys. please
It annoys me as well
Fiq Biarlah apa yang hendak kamu katakan. Kami masih berbangga kerana kami walaupun dikenali sebagai negara dunia ketiga pada saat itu..namun berkat usaha dan kegigihan kami rakyat Malaysia baik dari pucuk kepimpinan hingga ke rakyat jelata...kami berjaya melakukan apa yang dikatakan mustahil....sedangkan Singapura walaupun diiktiraf sebagai negara maju...mereka masih tidak mampu membina kereta nasional sendiri...
fitrie syafiq no....he mean to stop feel too proud.....im malaysian and it annoys me too and please always stay humble...bukan kata tak boleh tapi jangan sampai nak tunjukkan sngt mcm negara yg lain...nmpak ja negara mereka di youtube terus nak beritahu satu dunia mereka dari negara tersebut...harap boleh faham...
fitrie syafiq Ignorant
fitrie syafiq What he tries to say is everytime anyone else mentioned malaysia in youtube or anything malaysia related everyone in malaysia is going nut over it and started sayin no sense like "proud to be malaysia" even there's nothing to proud of..
And really they doesn't gives any single shit at all..
90 C after a normal drive? Youch! Love the IR Thermometer. Those are so useful for so many things. Cooking too.
i love proton....malaysia.
Tini Mohd I love too
I AM MALAYSIAN AND PROUD OF OLD PROTON CARS
im using 25years old proton..and its still good as new
Don't know why my CZcams feed keeps showing old videos making me think it's a new one but anyway I had my first driving lesson in one of these on 1993! Only had one lesson with that instructor lol .lesson was free but I changed instructors to a mk4 escort
I have to get one !
I only ever remember them a being advertised in the Sunday Supplement as a kid 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
smart lah, siap ade sunroof lagi..😂😂
Pretty sure my ex's brother had one of these back in the day. When he was working at the steel mill. That tells you how old it is given that we no longer have any industries like that in the UK. Coal, steel, all gone now.
Love to see many of my Malaysian buddy here adoring this car and all the other old models. They know what it means to them. It is not just about the car. It is about our unity and pride as Malaysian. Many Malaysian have their own memory about Proton (Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional) car. This car is a masterpiece. You better keep it nicely HubNut or i spank your ass :-)))
Wow! This is a 80's first generation Proton Saga!
I subscribe to u just because u love Malaysian cars😊
I drove one of those as a courtesy car for a few days. It handled like a bucket of sludge, and followed white lines and road repairs unless you steered it off them. Looked in the boot, and there was a gap on each side that you could put your arm into. Both sides were _full of rainwater_ and various lost tools. No; I'm not exaggerating.
Chris Goffey also found water in the boot on the saloon. Suspect they came in on cheap tyres. Not driven this one far, but it handles well enough for what it is.
Kereta aku ni weh, kesana kesini berjalan dengan aku. Masih steady sampai sekarang..
They called it an aero decc cos of all the little brown bubbles, I owned a gl saloon and ran it as a taxi through 1992 never missed a beat over 5200 miles and 52 weeks there was just a dodgy electrical connector just behind the slam panel which i replaced with a 30 amp connector block
haha jgn2 indo mai claim nie kete diorng
pulkin lukman ini dari indon ni...maling sial mmg pencuri..semuany mau amik indonesia punya...buatla kereta sendiri
+A Lonely Potato haha nice one bro
belilah buatan malaysia
you know what? my father's Toyota Bios keeps having problem after a year but the Perodua that my stepfather has still works! even if you push it hard!
proton saga aka kereta kebal
Welcome to world of saga
Mine was a 1.5litter saga iswara sedan automatic.....run very well for 2 years since bought from 2nd hand dealer
Thanx to Tun Mahathir
I am from the UK. I miss proton, my dad had gls saloon (saga). He also had a gl saloon and hatchback (iswara). My dad also had a proton persona and wira. None of these cars ever let him down he had many rovers after which failed.I wish proton come back to the UK I would buy one new as opposed to dacia.
i am malaysia from the best aku bngga keta malysia niey jenis lama niey berada kt negara 0rg putih negeri mat salleh,'aku pun pakai keta pr0t0n saga..1.5..
I'm glad you are like with this car.. this is our 1st national car
even homeless can afford that! but for sure they will sleep in their car
Proton in UK has a sunroof, while in Malaysia we don't have a sunroof even if it was a new Proton, you guys are so lucky
Ah, but the sunroof often leaks! The whole made for it often rusts too. Not always so luky.
wuuuu that proton is legend in malaysian
My dad had one of these. Hated it. The only thing going for it was that the engine was surprisingly powerful. It had a head gasket failure fairly early on which I seem to recall was down to those GDI engines should really have been run on 97+ octane and nobody did. However, my dad's Maestro had HGF also quite early so I think its partly down to the way he drives (he labours the engine a lot).
LEGEND LAMA
I had one I had it tinted and tinted the rear lights. I called it AeroCrap GT lol. It went anywhere the brakes always stuck on the passengers side.
Great memories.
thank you to buying malaysia super old car
they were great little runners, my uncle had one and it never broke and ran forever. Really nice car to drive. Straight forward no frills simple motoring.
Bangga jadi anak Malaysia 😂
If finding one of this and only cost u 50pound with that good interior and exterior Is a massive steal
classic car in malaysian
You didn't mention that it has got the indicator stalk on the correct side of the steering wheel for a right hand drive car
