Made by any manufacturer (I hope it's not self-built) ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #6 on:** June 01, 2009, 07:56:43 AM »

I found this in a magazine, with a name of this project-prototype.

Arunas · « **Reply #7 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:18:26 AM »

So... by none ot those known manufacturers?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #8 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:23:37 AM »

In those years, cars from Russia were not so well documented, so I really can't exclude that...I saw this car and found it terribly familiar, but the name reported in my source is new for me too...

Arunas · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:58:35 AM »

Related to any manufacturer?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #10 on:** June 01, 2009, 09:03:53 AM »

"This russian prototype for a commuter car will be mass-produced in ----. The car is called ----- and has got a --HP engine...."
This is what I've got.

Could be assotiated by any means with Gaz 18?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:08:35 AM »

I thought it too, but this car is different and the name I have too...

jotage21 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2009, 03:58:56 PM »

Turist?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:03:24 PM »

Not that...

It seems to have Moskvich headlights and some other parts, while the chassis resemble SeAZ - an invalid car. Does it have 10 or 12hp?

faksta · « **Reply #17 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:28:38 AM »

Oh, I thought _ _HP was a hint

SeAZ S3L had a 7,5hp engine, but that was a three wheeler... Looks like some NAMI project to me, but I have never seen it before.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:38:27 AM »

You deserve a hint.
This picture comes from a late 50s magazine. At the time, Russian cars were pretty obscure and sometimes the name was mispelled. This car has a 3-letter name.

faksta · « **Reply #19 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:46:54 AM »

Just to be sure, could these three letters be SMZ - a previous name of SeAZ factory?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:57:51 AM »

Nope, not SMZ.

Not that...

Arunas · « **Reply #23 on:** September 27, 2009, 08:00:29 AM »

It continues to intrigue me! Unfortunately, I don't have time for digging, yet
