The executives at AMM were left humbled by the complete and total failure of the Lyxig. An answer in search of a question, the car completely tanked. While the company believed that it could handle a failure, they had severely underestimated the degree of failure of the line. The late sixties and early seventies, then, were a time of austerity and pragmatism. The company launched a line of vans, but disaster threatened to strike again when a major contract fell through. Left with an excess of inventory, the company began the work of converting these vans into family-oriented minibusses - somewhat bland affairs, with a 2L inline 4 putting out a barely adequate 55 kW, a ladder frame (galvanised, after the Lyxig debacle), and a 3-speed slushbox. AMM has continued to build upon the one positive of the Lyxig - the crashworthiness - by installing the most modern and advanced safety available. The car boasts eight seats (although the rear three are jump seats for tax purposes and to maintain usable coverage). The converted vans are targeted towards families, hence the name - Familj. These converted vans come in at a very attractive 12,500 AMU - a far cry from the expensive, brash Lyxig and a price that is acceptable to the average consumer. Ultimately, the Familj isn’t fast, or luxurious, or high-tech - but it has three extra seats, and costs close to some five seaters, and that’s what it offers. Enough seats for the whole family, plus all the things you need to carry, and able to get you all there in one piece.
