So far so good :) Built in the Soviet Union. Now you just need to find the builder and the year

As far as I can tell its built by an E Tairov  in 1978 using ZAZ, Zhiguli & Moskvich 407 parts.

That's a really accomplished looking little car for a home build.  So that thing I thought was a tasteless spoiler is the engine intake  ;D  Thanks for the extra pictures

Well done Skut, that 50th point makes you an Expert now.
No more Rookie puzzles for you I'm afraid but you may now post your own puzzles as an Expert.
Next milestone is 400 points, when you become a Professional!  Something to aim for...
