What is this and why is it significant?

An 1887 Benz - the first car to be sold?

You guys are on the right track with "first", but it's a much less specific "first."

Nope.

OK, a big hint: Its significance has to do with where it was made.

Yakovlev & Frese, the first automobile built in Russia. It was introduced in 1896.
Others say it is just a modified Benz.

The replica of this car is reported to be in Autoreview magazine museum in Moscow, but during my visit it was not there.
