The Skopak was a multi-purpose vehicle developed in-house in Pakistan, built on the chassis of the Škoda Octavia.[1][2][3][4]
Initially, the plan was for the body to be made from flat metal sheets. Ultimately, it was made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic because it was cheaper to produce that way. Prototypes were developed in 1969.[5] Series production ran from May 1970 to spring 1971. The basic version was an open pickup with two seats. A fabric roof, side windows, and hardtop were available at extra cost. A utility version offered more space for passengers and luggage. The vehicle was powered by a four-cylinder engine with 1,221 cc displacement and 34.5 kW (46.3 hp) of power.[2]
