GDIzen Neutral Newbie August 15, 2003 Share August 15, 2003 MCF folks especially Gadgeter... New Wira A Star Attraction Some manufacturers just can't help showing off. Why else would a car that's not due here for nearly a year be taken on a jaunt to France with only a bit of tape to hide it? The ticket booth at the Eurostar terminal is hardly a secret location either! The car is the Proton Wira replacement, which our sources say could get a new name. It was snapped by Peter March-Smith of Southwood, Hants, who said: "It was one of two waiting to board the train. The other was black and looked decidedly conspicuous." The car was in the hands of Lotus - owned by Proton - and is now undergoing final testing. Meanwhile, Proton is said to be planning a small sports coup ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
