This ukrainian-soviet super-mini was a "peoples'" car, cheap and easy to repair. The production facilities were situated in Zaporozhye, where today Daewoo-Lanos and Shevy-Kalos(Aveo) for ukrainian market are produced. ZAZ 965 (1960-1967) - reminds of good old FIAT 500, but with ukrainian air-cooled engine. ZAZ 966 (1967-1972) ZAZ 968 (1972-1979) - looked almost like 966, but had an engine of 40 hp instead of 30 hp and was more comfortable. The last modernization of Zaporozhets - ZAZ 968M (1980-1994)

At last I found the English for "çàäíåìîòîðíûé" All Zhapchiks were rear engine cars.

I always thought the Zaz 968 was more like the NSU 1000 rather than the Imp, though I can see how the Imp and Zaz look similar.

The body shape is more likely to have been based on the NSU Prinz than the Imp, I would have thought.

Doesn't this picture look wonderful. Even the trucks in the background are brightly coloured! The 2140 Moskvich travelling down the road looks a bit dull though!
