That's the car - now I need the name of the builder and the year for the point.
Locked for you until your next reply.

Look carefully and you will see this is a different model.

I understand that he made 2 different bodies with the engine in a different place and this is confirmed by the 2 pictures.

The picture of the puzzle has the engine in the back (see the cooling at the side?). This is the older version according to my source.
The picture posted in this advertisement has the engine in the front.

I guess we do  ;)

Interestingly the cars in the drawing and original puzzle (see below) share the same registration number.
Therefore I wonder if the Zeda is just one car that was converted?

According to the site (PM me) the factory making the car was an tool manufacturing, considering production of a "popular car". It never came. It could well be what you said, it could well be 2 prototypes made. I don't know. It was taken over by the Czech state and then Zbrojovka
