September 22nd, 2007 11:13 PM #31During the time of the Atendido Pareho, and Minsan Patrol, there was the Enzo 911
The Enzo 911 was a copy of the Porche 911 yata (beats me cause I don't know the Porche vehicles that well). It really looks like a porche but it was powered by either a rear mounted VW beetle engine or a front mounted Saturn.
I really liked this car, but I heard that Porche filed a complaint in court and its production was stopped. Does anyone have an Enzo? I really liked it.

September 23rd, 2007 12:09 AM #34Anong nangyari sa Self-reliance Program ng AFP?
Columbia Motors built over 100 Jeep-like vehicles for the Military a few years ago using Korean Engines. Actually so did Atendido, kaso it took the government over a year (due to red tape) to pay for the units Atendido made, kaya namatay sila
Also, I noticed na ang kadalasang sira ng Anfra is the rear bumper

It seems you know Atendido Motors very well. Share mo naman your knowledge re: whereabouts ng founder/status ng company/and yung history nila. I mean among the Local Auv manufacturers before sila ang may pinakamaganda ang nailabas na products after maybe Franscisco Motors' Anfra, MDJuan Jeepstar and Castro Motors

The ENZO 911 is a statement that the Pinoy can! ... this is the brainchild of Dino Juan... owner of Pier One. He made it from a kit from Colin Replicas from England and made some adjustments so as to not duplicate the original dimensions.
Porsche Club of the Philippines filed a suit against Dino to pressure him in mothballing the project and destroy the moulds eventually. It appeared at that time that it was Porsche AG who was behind it... but it turned out to be fellow Pinoys...
Anyway, the moulds are with me, and they are in the safe hands of some friends.... and I am not going to disclose their whereaboouts. Making replicas on limited production volume isn't against the law. Making them on a commercial scale is. If you have a donor VW... we can build one ENZO for you.
By the way, the ENZO is not Pinoy designed... it is actually a replicated replica of the Colin Porsche Replicars from England. But, it is still the closest thing to the real one. With its light weight... it has almost the same power to weight ratio as the real thing.
It's is actually under the category of a Kit Car.

Did you guys say Atendido Motors? Under IGRI Industries, Inc. yun, di ba?
Wala akong pics nung Pareho, pero AFAIK, one of the major reasons why nagsara sila is natalo sila sa case(s) filed by Mitsubishi for the brand name "Pareho" (and maybe also Mercedes Benz for the "Mercedes Din").
[SIZE="1"]Intellectual Property Office Case Title "MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO, -VS- IGRI INDUSTRIES, INC"[/SIZE]
Anyways, hindi sila natuhog sa patent violation, kundi sa trademark infringement. Kasi daw, the name "Pareho" sounds too much like Mitsu's trademark "Pajero", and that's a crime. I think they were told to cease and desist. Ayun, naglaho ang Atendido Motors.
Biro niyo, kasosyo pa ni Atendido si Reli German (political & PR counselor to presidents!), pero wala pa ring laban talaga. Filipinos vs foreign automaker in our own soil, by our own laws = no contest. Talo Pinoy.tsk, tsk! The playing field is not equal here.
Atendido's IGRI Industries, Inc. has since moved on to more modest product lines - golf carts, etc.
I could be wrong. Sana may magconfirm.Last edited by dprox; September 23rd, 2007 at 08:26 PM.

For 3 years, this vehicle helped my dad to expand his delivery. Sad to say after the financial crisis of the mid 90's we have to let it go.
