TWO MORE Protons Saved From Scrap – Including A REAL Barn Find!



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

  1. 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.

  2. 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 😁

  4. 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.

  5. 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??

  6. 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
