The record

Bucher-Guyer had been working on the all-wheel-drive platform since 1976; the 1994 order turned it into a production vehicle. Production stayed at Niederweningen until January 2003.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
