The first model was the CB . A chassis from the VW Beetle , which was shortened by 30 cm, formed the basis. An open two-door body was then mounted on fiberglass . The cabriolet offered space for two people. An air-cooled four - cylinder boxer engine from VW with a displacement of 1600 cm³ and an output of 42 kW was mounted in the rear and drove the rear wheels.

In November 1984 two new models were presented at an automobile exhibition. The Cabriolet MC was the successor to the CB , but it was better equipped and the front of the vehicle was revised. The MB was a VW buggy designed by Mário Bellato Jr.

In 1986, based on the buggy, the MB Selva followed with increased off-road mobility and the MB Endurance , which did not go into series production. Both models had an enlarged boxer engine with 1800 cc and 69 kW output.
