Nope..

But it’s 1000cc... so likely going to be like the old Datsun UTE sort of a vehicle.. or Maybe a long chassis Suzuki potohar/samurai.

The only vehicle ever to be 100 percent made in Pakistan was Proficient Pick up in the 80s.
Was killed off by Suzuki and other competitors.

I remember it in real life as i saw a few in action. Was on par with Suzuki Pisk up but the Innovator , Late Khalil-ur-Rehman used heavy gauge metal sheets for body work, it was heavier and struggled. The thinner metal plates used by Suzuki were not available to him.
But it was locally made, so was much cheaper than suzuki and people bought them despite certain problems. I still remember PTV documentary about the vehicle. the engine was hand casted in his workshop and each nut bolt made in Pakistan.
No i cannot find any picture. But PTV must have in their archives.

Good lord, a rebadged Chinese vehicle, that too from a third grade manufacturer which doesn't even sell that well in China! You might as well purchase a coffin with wheels.

oh wow.
These pics are from 1988-89.
Later PPP government refused license to the guy and he had to disappear as had too many business loans.
His sons still have the engineering diagrams and the project can be Re-started with patronage.
