    This is the Carter Masa 1991 model gas engine

    I first saw this in 1988 when the Philippine auto market witnessed the emergence of Pinoy AUV makers Like Carter Motors.

    And while they are Pinoy made they are not 100% pinoy made because the engines are still normally Japanese surplus...

    They are still alot of these vehicles moving around (especially in the provinces)and still very serviceable.

    Especially, Castro, Carter and Panther with their famous double cab pick up with analok enclosure...

    The FMC Harabas and Pinoy I and Pinoy II AUV are still running and servicing the Vito Cruz (near DLSU-M)-CCP Complex route...

    In our place beat up but still running Pather AUVs are still servicing the Imus-Lawton route...

    Reminds me of the good old days of the Philippine mainstream AUV market...

    Try to complete your sentence. This a thread of AUV vehicles not AUV companies.Off course they are all gone.

    Anyway,

    Indeed, I can still see alot of these old creaky road warriors...

    The sad part is, they still have no modern day versions....

    indeed, complete your sentence. You keep on making your reader guessing with your short replies...

    Anyway,

    *true faith

    indeed, thats the sad part wala ng nagtuloy...kung meron like those in Pampanga and the Visayas..hindi masyadong mainstream...

    But I like the Iloilo versions when I went there ganda!

    A Mitsubishi Adventure look alike.

    Newly Assembled..2008..

    Shows that e can easily revive those Castro/Carter AUVs if only there is a market an a willing investor...

    I think this was made in Valenzuela or Cavite by local AUV fabricator.




    with an adventure glx 1998 headlight and grill


    The interior is made of discarded Kia Pride Dashboard and Instrument panel and second hand car seats...

    The steering wheel came from a Kia pride LX...
