vehicles

The only model was the Moana . This was a coupe with no doors. The beltline of the vehicle was slightly lowered in the area of ​​the passenger cell. In addition, the roof above the passengers could be rolled up towards the center of the vehicle, making it easier to get in and out. Technically, the vehicle was based on the chassis of the VW Beetle . A four - cylinder boxer engine with a choice of 1200 cm³, 1300 cm³ or 1500 cm³ displacement provided the drive .
