Warta prototype

That's right, yes.
Would you just like to enlarge on who made it and what it represents?

The Warta (Polish pronunciation: [ˈvaɾta] German: Warthe; Latin: Varta) is a river in western-central Poland, a tributary of the Oder river. With a length of approximately 808 kilometres (502 mi) it is the country's third longest river. The Warta has a basin area of 54,529 square kilometers, and it is navigable from Kostrzyn nad Odrą to Konin, approximately half of its length.[1] It is connected to the Vistula by the river Noteć and the Bydgoszcz Canal (Kanał Bydgoski) near Bydgoszcz.
In the late 1960s. and 70. The 20th century it was decided to build a car for agricultural purposes.  It was decided that the car will be built in greater Poland, and the reason for this was the fact that California was the leading region of agricultural production [1].  Soon after the Commission proposals the party authorities in the two centers in Poznań built prototypes of vehicles.  In the technical handling of Cars was the prototype under the name Worth (sic!) [1], and in the Institute for metal forming, who has worked with the Technical University of Poznan Tarpana prototype chassis Builder of the vehicle was. Bogdan Sobczynski, body-Dr. ing. Zbigniew Wiśniewski. . Eugene Szplit was the leading workshops and coordination of the installation, and 8-person Executive team manage master Kazimierz Kubiak.
The car was first presented in Warsaw during the exhibition of agricultural vehicles accompanying VI Downhill PZPR (the Palace of culture and science) in December 1971. It was a three-or five, two-door (rear doors) vehicle type van [1]. Constructor of the chassis of the vehicle was. Bogdan Sobczynski, body-Dr. ing. Zbigniew Wiśniewski.

Crikey, all I wanted to see was FSO and I don't think I can still..
Apparently they made 2 prototypes based on the Syrena - a short one (the Warta) and a long one, for what was to become the Tarpan.  The short one was said to be dreadful to drive and handled like a stuck pig, so they didn't proceed with that version...
