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".

Aha - that's the problem with Google Translate; it translates proper nouns and names as well...
Thanks.

Would also doubt that this is a kit-car literally .

I didn't think it was possible to improve upon the looks of a ZAZ, and then this raving beauty come along.  :faint:

ZAZ 965 (Fiat look) and the later models 968 (NSU Prinz look) were sold in Belgium as Jalta and altough not really common they weren't rare.
