Company history

Fadıl Akgündüz founded the company in 1989 in Istanbul as a driving school . From 1997 vehicles from Proton were sold. In October 1999 the company presented a prototype under the brand name İmza , which should go into series production. In 2000, the assembly of Proton vehicles began using the CKD process . In 2002 a plant was established in Siirt in Asia Minor with a capacity of 100,000 vehicles per year.

Der Spiegel reported in its January 2004 issue that the planned vehicle production was a fraud.

vehicles

The only model from the İmza brand was the İmza 700 . Involved in the design were Erich Bitter and Jan-Erik Jansson, who previously for Volvo worked. The 240 cm wheelbase vehicle was 355 cm long and had four doors and a large tailgate. The front was similar to the Mercedes-Benz A-Class . An Orbital engine from Australia with a displacement of 1200 cm³ propelled the prototype. For series production, engines with a displacement of 1200 cm³ to 1600 cm³ were planned. One source states that the smaller engine was a diesel engine and the larger engine was a gasoline engine . In 2000 the project was abandoned, but according to a source there was no series production.
