ZAZ prototype

And it's 1 point to pnegyesi.
The car was on display at a museum in the Ukraine and was simply described on the site as a ZAZ Sports Prototype.
As for the Phaeton name, it seems a bit silly for a vehicle like this but then it doesn't seem to belong to the car next to it either! Can you come up with a bit more on that PJ and maybe I can give you a point too?

Post by: Paul Jaray on August 30, 2013, 07:42:33 AM: I think the sign in my picture belongs to the SMZ next to the ZAZ, you can read 'SMZ S3-D' there.
I have a set of pics of the puzzle car and where i took them it was called 'Phaeton' but since I've got more than 2000 files to sort there, I left that way.

It makes perfectly sense, because the word 'Phaeton' on the sign seems like the heading of it.

Post by: pnegyesi on August 30, 2013, 07:47:53 AM: Yes, this car belongs to the museum of the Phaeton oldtimer club.
