J4 with Portugese plates - Spanish-built Sava?? Or Austin/Morris/BMC?? Was there local build or imported from UK?? Can anyone explain why nearly all our Sava J4s have Spanish origin?? |

Fairly sure they were local build from the days when Franco would not let anything be imported ( except with very high taxes). |

Wiki- A diesel-powered version of the van was produced in Valladolid, Spain by SAVA ("Sociedad Anónima de Vehículos Automóviles"), between 1965 and 1989 and sold successively under several names including SAVA J4 and Pegaso J4. |

But with Portuguese plates it is British one more likely: http://www.travellerdave.co.uk/?p=4443 |

Missed the Portugese bit .gif ":)") Only time I've been to Portugal four years ago saw the odd 70s Sherpa still knocking about. -- Last edit: 2018-10-29 07:11:46 |

Googling for J4s in Portugal throws up a few assorted examples, possibly more Austins than Morris or BMC. Can't precisely confirm local J4 assembly, but BMC CKD production started in 1963 "The association thus established provides for full-scale technical assistance which will enable the use of certain Portuguese-made components to assist in the development of national industry This new plant will provide capacity for around 600 vehicles a month. Production of commercial vehicles is expected to start mid-year and of passenger cars by the year-end and initially employment will be giver to about 200 persons." from here. |

Another Portugese J4, a Morris ambulance. |
