Hi Kai
This Vehicle was very much a utility vehicle, it had 4WD based on the 1300
FWD system, supposedly the same as the 1300 4WD that was used in rallycross
racing. I think I have seen a picture of one somewhere, I will try to find
it.
Not sure if it was marketed as a Triumph or some local brand.
Graham.
