It's called "Mary 2", (translated).
I give you one point and spend another one for who gives me the missing part of the story... (the name of the builder for instance)

Vahtang Dvalishvili from Georgia was the builder of the car from 1985 which was called Maria (or Mary, if translated). Maybe this is a next car built by him?

I knew that one of our Russian speaking members would solve this puzzle. Well done!

The puzzle car was actually built in 1986. That's at least what my source reports.
Here's another pic from one of Mr. Vahtang Dvalishvili's creations. Maybe that's the first Mary. (Maria)
I just had to translate the cyrillic letters via Google Translator and the content of the text is not that clear to me...  :-\

This car was most likely equipped with a V4 engine, but I don't know from which donor.
Vahtang Dvalishvili lived in a city called Kutaisi in the western part of Georgia.

Two more fuzzy pics. These are all I have.

I was referring to the first Maria - that was built in 1985 as far as I know, and that is indeed that red car which you have posted.

"Аналогичную задачу попробовал решить Вахтанг Двалишвили, архи­тектор из Кутаиси. Но, обладая соб­ственной дизайнерской концепцией, Двалишвили отказался от использо­вания каких бы то ни было готовых кузовных деталей. Кузов длиной около 3,4 метра он выклеил из стек­лопластика и постарался сделать его при столь небольшом размере максимально вместительным изну­три. Для этого, например, сэкономил объем на сиденьях — они тонкие, жесткие, но достаточно удобные благодаря заданной анатомической форме (подобные сиденьям в трам­ваях «Татра»).

  Двигатель от автомобиля ЗАЗ-966в, в отличие от машины Горбунова, кутаисский автострои­тель установил сзади. А подвеску и колеса использовал от мотоколяски СЗА.

  Масса автомобиля, который на­звали «Мария», составила 640 кило­граммов. Количество мест — два для взрослых и два для детей. Ско­рость — до 90 километров в час. В 1985 году Двалишвили со своей оригинальной конструкцией успешно участвовал в международном авто­пробеге, а через год представил на Выставку научно-технического творчества молодежи еще более элегант­ную «Марию 2»."


A similar problem tried to solve Vic Dvalishvili, architect of Kutaisi. But, having its own design concept, Dvalishvili renounced the use of any body parts were ready. Body length about 3.4 meters, he vykleil of fiberglass and tried to make it at such a small amount of maximum roomy inside. For this example, the amount saved on the seats - they are thin, hard, but quite comfortable thanks to a specified anatomical form (such as seats in trams Tatra).

  The engine of the car ZAZ-966v, unlike machines Gorbunova, Kutaisi car-installed rear. A suspension and wheels used on motokolyaski NWA.

  Mass of the car, which was named "Maria", amounted to 640 kilograms. Number of seats - two adults and two children. Speed - up to 90 kilometers per hour. In 1985 Dvalishvili with its original design has successfully participated in an international auto race, and a year later presented at the exhibition of scientific and technical creativity of youth is even more elegant "Mary 2".

I think the yellow car next to the Maria 2 in that photo is another puzzle that hasn't yet been solved.... should be a big help for someone!

It is Olympia as I've replied, but pnegyesi says it isn't. At I think it really isn't because there are some visual differences.

Pangolina and many others. Already 300+ and still slowly counting.
