Beach wagons were on offer . A box profile frame formed the basis . An open body made of fiberglass was mounted on it, which offered space for 2 + 2 people. The look is described as curious, quirky (quirky) or uniquely inelegant (singularly inelegant).

The first version B 1 had strange front headlights that were deliberately designed to block the view of the front suspension.

For the B 2 , the front suspension from the Triumph Herald was used, which enabled ordinary headlights.
