FSO, the Polish manufacturer, is updating its light pick-up range for 1984.
Body styling will be unchanged, but the 55kW (75bhp) 1.5 litre petrol engine will be replaced by the 61kW (82bhp) 1500cc unit used in the Polonaz car.
New pick-ups will be equipped with the five-speed synchromesh gearbox used in the Polonez.
Payload, however, remains the same for the new models at 609kg (12cwt).
A diesel version will not be available in 1984, although future FSO imports could include a FSO pick-up fitted with a two litre VM Italian diesel engine.
Price for the updated five speed pick-up is expected to remain around £3,000 including vat.
FSO importer, Automotive Distributors of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, hopes to expand its 130strong dealer network with an additional 20 to 30 dealers by the end of the year.
