What do you mean by disposable?

one-off?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2020, 04:01:47 PM »

this was a one-off, but the builder built at least one and maybe two cars (it is difficult to judge whether his 2nd car is a development of the puzzle car or a different car)

Something to do with Wacheslaw Kosenkov?

Arkadij Babich, Leningrad Sport Custom...?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** October 25, 2020, 08:12:44 AM »

bit too much clues there

Yes, this is the first car put together by Babich. Details are sketchy. It is possible that he modified this car before building the famous Leningrad

Fёdor · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2020, 01:43:02 PM »

You can specify the source of this snapshot. No resemblance to his car Leningrad

pnegyesi · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2020, 04:31:52 PM »

No Babich built aat least one car prior to the Leningrad. You can find my article on that on Undiscovered Classics in English and in Russian at a lot of places

Now this one is either the basic version of that 2nd car or a separate, even earlier design.
The picture was shared by the current owner of the Leningrad recently
