Any link with Zagato? Obviously different, but similar to the Zagato Hillman Imp (aka Zimp) or Zagato BMC Mini Cat.

If I'm not mistaken, this is homemade car "Gepard" ("Гепард"), built in Yaroslavl (Russia) in 1966. Based on ZAZ-966.

SACO · « **Reply #21 on:** July 11, 2012, 04:42:02 PM »

Yes ,it's the car !
The Gepard was a kit-car ( production of 5 cars ) 1966 , based on ZAZ

On a website entitled "The Exhibition of Soviet Home-made Cars" this vehicle is described as the "Cheetah - 1966-8"
with the caption "The series of similar cars were built from the parts of the ZAZ-966 and ZAZ-968".
Has something about the name been lost in translation?!

I don't think so. The correct name is Gepard (Гепард) what means Cheetah in Russian and other languages.

BTW, SACO, are you sure the term "kit-car" is appropriate for this vehicle? Personally, I'd prefer "self-made".

SACO · « **Reply #24 on:** July 12, 2012, 05:06:31 PM »

The Gepard was a kit-car with a production of 5 cars ( dixit my source !)
I don't know about it more ;but I think that the car was not a one-off !
