- 1:38it look like a plastic box, at the same time
- 1:41the vehicle was robust and practical. In 1961
- 1:44the car factory, which would then become Namco,
- 1:48was founded in Salonico by the Contoguris brothers.
- 1:50In 1963, purchased by the Americans, the company
- 1:54became Kleisler Hellas. Namco, at the origin
- 1:57of the Pony, officially was born in 1972 when
- 2:00the headquarters returned to Greece. It became
- 2:02the first car company in the nation to obtain
- 2:05a certain to commercialize cars in the homeland.
- 2:09Designed as a car, the Pony transformed into
- 2:12a commercial vehicle thanks to the rear trunk
- 2:14covered by a plastic hood. The Pony had been
- 2:18designed by Citroën on the two -horsepower platform.
- 2:21It had a welded steel frame and steel frame with
- 2:24the original frame shortened by the 5 -centimeter
- 2:29Namco. The Pony engine was a 0 .6 -liter two
- 2:32-cylinder boxer that developed 29 horsepower.
- 2:34The real production of the vehicle began in 1974
- 2:38immediately obtaining good success thanks to
- 2:40the Greek tax easing for commercial vehicles.
- 2:43It was also the most economical of its category.
- 2:46The vehicle was offered in three variants, Pony,
- 2:48ST, LS and LS Palace. The production reached
- 2:5230 ,000 units exported worldwide, including Italy,
- 2:55and ended in 1982. The partnership between the
- 2:59Greek Namco and the French Citroën generated
- 3:01the FAF, Fazila Fabrique or Fazila Financeur.
- 3:05This generation of vehicles, with very simple
- 3:08characteristics, was mostly intended for third
- 3:10world countries in development, even if it did
- 3:13not have the same success as the Pony. ad Enzo
