I have just spent a most enjoyable week in Malaysia, mainly in Kula Lumpur, and being an Italian car enthusiast, I am always on the lookout to spot suitable old Italian cars
(hopefully Mirafiori?s
) and to see how much Italian cars feature within the domestic market
.
Well it appears there is no market for Italian Cars there
, with the majority of cars being Malaysian (Proton) with Kia?s and Toyota?s a distant second to these. There is also a sprinkling of Prestige Cars (mainly BMW?s and Lexus) and some Mercedes. There appeared to be very few Audi?s
.
However someone must like Italian Cars because on just leaving the Hotel I spotted this rather nice Fiat Coupe
and was quick enough to take a picture (apologies for the quality as I was in a car and it was raining). A few days later I spotted a MK2 Punto (2000-2005) at the side of the road with its bonnet up
, and an Alfa 155 (Wide Body in Met Red) like I use to own
.
Does anyone out of interest have any information on the Italian car market in Malaysia with particular reference to 131?s.
