== UMM Alter II Phase I == In 1986 the '''Alter II''' was released by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[automobile]] manufacturer [[UMM (União Metalo-Mecânica)|União Metalo-Mecânica (UMM)]]. It featured a new 4-speed [[Manual transmission|manual gearbox]], a new [[transfer case]] and a new [[Suspension (vehicle)|suspension]]. The engine remained the same 2.5-litre [[diesel engine]] which developed 76 PS. Although it was a new model it was very similar to the previous one and very difficult to distinguish.
