[MG Man]

good thing I can't afford one..it would always be muddy and wearing big noisy offroad tyres

[zeeshan66]

there's a new PCS white range that looks even better than that.

[paparazzi]

My old RRS HST - went to Solihull to take delivery of it myself, drove it around the UK for 2 weeks and then stuck it in a container to bring it home. Had the finesse of an elephant attempting to do ballet

[White CZ4A]

Very nice.
You have ACC and black badging like mine. Only a few like that in the country.
Most of them have no ACC and green badging.

[amsherwood]

Wait nah, like some threads gone missing!!! Wow, but nice HST.....nothing looks as good as a well appointed rangerover

[MG Man]

actually it was based on a UK kit car called the Rotrax, which used a Mk4 Cortina for engine and suspension.........it was only called BUV in T&T

[acesinghit]

the Amar BUV was based on what chassis and drivertrain?

[MG Man]

the Amar BUV was based on what chassis and drivertrain?

no clue
I was familiar with the Rotrax b4 Amar started selling this thing, so when I saw it at Expo 88, I just laughed and walked away. Never paid it much interest Other than the Cortrina, I know it was adapted to the Nissan Patrol as well as Suzuki platforms in the UK as well........it's now called the Dakar

that article is so fullashit


Guess in pre-internet days Amar figured everybody clueless

"The Basic Utility Vehicle, the BUV (each letter is pronounced separately), is the car that Amar built along the Ford principles"

"The reason we built this vehicle is that we were looking long-term," he says of himself and his team of engineers.

"Robert Amar set his engineers the task of designing the vehicle on computer three years ago--something that had never been done before in the Caribbean, the company claims"

"This, Amar claims, is the only vehicle that deserves to be called a Caribbean car. "



Man was selling a British kit car and claiming it was all his design
no wonder he made a mess of Toyota and Peugeot

[MG Man]

the man asked what it is not what it's based on, it was sold locally as a B.U.V.

my bad for shedding some light............it was just annoying to see Amar running around touting 'his' design as though it was invented by his company
but more importantly. ah certain Rasta eyeing yuh merchandise real hard eh.when yuh passin?

[eliteauto]
