Was Eduard Molchanov involved in its styling? Quite his style.

I give you a hint. The eponym lives in the water but it isn't a fish.... ;)

Yes, you're almost there, but this is not a British or USAmerican car....

Yours till your next post.


(I don't know if this is the real and only name of this vehicle, but it's what my source reports)

YES! I have this as ZAZ Delfin "Strandauto", but I guess at least the last part of the name is not authentic...
If someone has a more reliable designation I'll update the subject's title.

Strandauto is German. In Russian, google gives us Пляж автомобиля

I know that "Strandauto" is German.  :eyebrow:
I found that car on a Hungarian source. Don't know why they name it that way.
Should I replace it with Cyrillic letters?  :idea:

No kidding?
So, Strandauto meaning something like beach buggy, I guess it's not part of the name. Why don't you stick to just ZAZ Delphin?

It was (like I've mentioned before) part of the name on that source where I've found it.
Maybe or probably incorrect and unusual for a Russian car, but what if it was made for a GDR apparatchik and was baptized exactly with that name?
As long as I've got no other designation I leave it like that, but nevertheless thanks for your advice...

BTW: "Delfin" written with "f" is German as well..
And "Delphin" with "ph" isn't Russian either.



@faksta or other puzzlers which are able to google in cyrillic words: would it possible to do a little more research?

(and for our Hungarian puzzlers: I'll PM the source if you would try to bring this obscure car a bit more to light.)

I'm trying my best, but nothing can be found yet. The numberplates are Soviet, not GDR, so I suppose the car is also Soviet. 'ЛБА' letters should mean that the car was registered in Tadjikistan (part of USSR then). I'll try to find more, because I'm very curious also. Is it from the book?

By the way, 'Пляж автомобиля', as Google translated 'Strandauto', means 'Beach of the car' - quite a doubtful translation :D
