The story
MAVA Company, the Greek importer of Renault automobiles, ventured into car production in 1979 by introducing a passenger-utility vehicle, a type popular in Greece due to tax categorization benefits. The company assigned the car's creation to Georgios Michael, a Greek designer known for his work on the Neorion Chicago and several other Greek vehicles. Michael and his team completed the development and prototype construction (using Renault mechanicals) in record time, and the car, named Farma, was launched the same year. MAVA insisted that the car be presented as a "Renault model," and the prototype was subsequently tested and approved by the French company.
