No connection to Kover

Some sources write that the Kover Capilla was a license production of the French Kover . The name originated from the combination of the original name Kover and Capilla, the Spanish word for hood , because the Spanish version, unlike the original, had a hood. However, the variety of types, the construction time, the motorization and the appearance do not match. A source clearly states that there was no connection.
