Hard nut? Hint time.

For this monent, I really don't know what hint could I give. Probably it is not very easy.

I am giving You the complete answer, only the letters are mixed: A S K A R E L.

Let's try from another angle. It is based on a RAF or based on a Skoda 1203?

I am not very good at technical terms. According to the article about this creature, the car uses custom-made frame that has been made according RAF 2203 frame, but is 300mm shorter. Car also uses suspension components from GAZ-24.
