No, this was a small-scale builder which was known for other type of passenger cars.

Nope. This company is not featured on magyarjarmu.hu and not mentioned in my book. It will be included in the 2nd edition. But it is known in Hungary, and has been mentioned on some websites

I just found a picture of this Helix S, but no mention of the base. They did build a motorhome on Zuk base. Is this also Zuk based?

Fair enough. It is either a Zuk or a Nysa :)
