Francisco Motors: buhay pa ba?

[badkuk]

are they still in business? are they still selling the old B2200's/Anfras? And is it still a good idea to get these trucks/vans?

[johnart]

they are no longer selling the old B2200 and anfras

[SunTzu]

gf ko ang may ari ng FMC. accdg to her, meron na rehabilitation plan and budget para buhayin ulit ang company. pero medyo magulo pa sa board of directors since the revamp. tinanggal nila ung Fernando Francisco, ex president dahil sa corruption. one of the reasons din bakit bumaba ang FMC because of this crook. ung Italcar dapat under siya ng FMC pero ang nangyari, kay Fernando napunta ang majority revenues. tsk. pero mabubuhay ulit yan i believe.

[eggman]

Alam ko nagcacalibrate nalang muna sila ng diesel engines eh.Sana mas ok pagbumalik na ang FMC.

[SunTzu]

wala na silang B2200 kasi wala na silang tie up with mazda. pero may tie up na sila with Isuzu and launching next month...

even better. isuzus are known for solid underchasis and good engine performance sa diesels...

pansinin mo yung mga puv na naka 4ba1 na engine, kahit punong puno ng pasahero, pati sabit and roof luggage, hanep sa takbo and hatak.

[badkuk]

hmm...pero sana lang nga they can keep their prices competitive

two fmc vehicles i remember:

the single-cab b2200: long and sleek. i saw one before wherein the rope hooks were shaved, tapos it was fitted with the rims from the first-gen safari, then low-profile tires. pure white yung paint job (wala pang pearl nun e). simple yet cool!

and of course, JP II's bullet-proof popemobile when he visited during world youth day '95! fmc gumawa noon and they supposedly didn't charge a single penny for it!

looking forward to the return of fmc!

maitanong ko lang father ba siya ni Marina Francisco?

[SunTzu]

maitanong ko lang father ba siya ni Marina Francisco?

no sir, uncle nila yang si fernando. ang father nina marina is Anastacio Francisco. kaya tinawag na AnFra ung minanufacture nilang AUV. ok nga pala yang si miss marina pati si hitler sarao pinapayagang kaming tumambay sa shell station nila..minsan may free wine pa from ralph's


*corbon44

yes sir. pero ngayon pag may procession sa las pinas, nahihiram yang John Paul II mobile. ok na rin kaysa mabulok sa garahe.

Baka yung engine ay Isuzu o yung balak ng Isuzu na magbenta ng engines para sa mga jeepney drivers

[pitbullz]

i hope FMC will release a small commuter type car thats 200k and below(it has been done) and is in the same format as the pride and charades/uno's. with diesel engine etc. lets support the local car industry and help create jobs for our kababayan.

PS: ill get one when they make a car with that specs hehehe. the legacy is overpriced and still,you get a converted/reconditioned vehicle. but if it was priced lower then its a great deal...like say 135k.

[badkuk]

any updates?

[Rav_5]

sana bumalik na yung FMC! Proudly pinoy eh!

[jimlen1025]

yup, agree ako dyan kasi sariling atin.......

[aizen]

[sboogie]

[jedi]

Good news yung mga info na ibinibigay mo sir SunTzu. Kasi ako fan talaga ng FMC-Anfra. Very enterprising ang Franscisco family. Mabuti at under rehabilitation na FMC. Truly Pinoy yan at malaki na-itulong yan not only in Las Pinas but for the country as a whole. Im still happy seeing those numerous Anfras and Pinoys going around the streets of Metro Manila and Cavite.

Sana gumaya sa Francisco ang Sarao na pareho din na taga-las pinas.Mag-venture sila outside ng jeepney fabrication.

Anyway, very informative talaga ang mga details na ni-re-reveal mo.

So, january pala ang re-launching ng Anfra sir SunTzu?

That will be a great news for the Pinoy auto manufacturers and the industry as a whole.

sana nga bumalik fmc...naalala ko nung nagpapaservice kami sa fmc pasong tamo ng b2200 nmin early 90's..binibilugan ng guard ng chalk ang mga dents and scratches sa body...hehehe!
