Brand name advice

The company manufactured VW buggies between 1981 and 1985 , which were marketed as advice . It is not known how many of the total of 420 copies of the council were made in this company.

Brand name Alfa

The only model was the Plus . This was a hatchback sedan. The basis was the Alfa Romeo Alfasud . A fiberglass body was mounted on top. In this way, the starting product with its good properties such as handling and the boxer engine was freed from its bad property, the susceptibility of the body to rust . About three copies were made between 1982 and 1985.

Brand name FF

The FF Buggy , produced from 1983 to 1987, was a further development of the Rat with an ordinary front and was similar to the Country Volks buggy . The buggy was available in two different wheelbases. Between 1981 and 1985 FF manufactured the FF Countryman . This was the conversion of a VW Beetle into a pick-up . Country Volks took over both projects.
