SUMMARY

On offer from long term ownership, this rare Proton GTi has been well cared for and subtly upgraded.

DESCRIPTION

  • Launched in 1999 and based on the Mitsubishi Colt, the Compact GTi used the help of Lotus to develop the cars handling
  • Powered by the 138bhp (103 kW) 1.8-litre, 4G93P engine originally found in the Mitsubishi Lancer GSR, but here without the turbo and with an increase in compression to compensate
  • First registered in 1999, this GTi, was used as a demonstrator by Anest Brockhurst and Son Ltd
  • Finished in Silver Grey with a Lotus-designed body kit, it sits on 16" 6-spoke alloys, with custom half-leather Recaro front seats and an OMP steering wheel
  • Owned since 2005, this Proton GTi has been kept in a heated garage and modified over the years by its enthusiast owner
  • Modifications include a 'scissor-door' conversion, custom side-exhaust, front mounted air filter and the removal of the rear seats
  • Supplied with its original Proton Owner’s Manual, service history up to 67,000 miles, previous MOT Certificates and both keys and alarm fobs
  • With only six examples of the Compact GTi believed to remain on UK roads, this scissor-door example could well be unique
