A gift for the Soviet self-built fanatics

Anyone ever seen this one before? It's sitting in a Russian car graveyard but I'm pretty sure it's not a production model. Thought you might be interested to see it!

The picture is of Mihail Krasinets' so-called 'museum'. He has a great collection of Soviet cars - thanks to him for putting them all in one place, but they just rust on an open air and nothing seems to be done to them!

Yeah that's the same one! Amazing how it has deteriorated, that photo doesn't look like it was taken so long ago.

What a shame these cars are all left to rot like that, it does make me a little angry to see that happen. Thanks for the extra info Faksta.

I wonder if we'll ever find the name of this one?

Interesting car. Looks quite wide but that could be the photo angle.
