Yurij Gagarin and he used to ride in an open-top Tschaika on parades. He owned a Volga M21. One of the two :)

Wasn't it the world's first mid-engined road car (something often attributed to the ATS)?

Yes, the Djet (in Rene Bonnet form) was the world's first production mid-engined sports car, beating the ATS to this honour by some time.
