 All of these problems forced FMAT to slow down vehicle production gradually and the last 1000 PORTARO vehicles manufactured were actually built with most the leftover parts with other spares that FMAT had acquired before in 1990, that were still kept unused by the original PORTARO previous owner & importer GV-SEMAL based in Lisbon.Sadly the once very successful PORTARO brandname career came to a rather abrupt end PORTARO historic brand disappeared from the Portuguese automobile market during the Summer of 1995.Besides the PORTARO brandname made in Portugal since 1975 it was joined two years later by another Portuguese manufacturer, "UMM", another motor company, who also adopted an original 4WD vehicle made in France, under a franchised manufacturing project.
