Pretty much correct. A good mate was a Skoda dealer and I saw a few in his place, plus Ransley Motors in chch I believe were one of the prime movers in getting them built in NZ. Pretty much the car equivalent of an Nzetta...And bear in mind that Don Ransley (ChCh Skoda) and Tom McCleary (ChCh CZ/Jawa agent) knew each other - and it was Tom who was the main driving force who got the Nzetta thing going.
The body was very like an early Land Rover - capable of being made on a sheet metal folder....

Mechanic Google to the rescue... Trekka
One of the Fitters in the Post Office Workshops bunged in a P76 motor in his, nearly as cool as the Mechanic called the Flying Nun who had a 2 door Mk Cortina with a P76 engine*
* P76 was Leyland Australia's attempt at a Falcon/Kingswood style car. Used an enlarged Buick Skylark engine that was later used in Rover V8's, great engines, crap cars.
