Let's try from another angle. It is based on a RAF or based on a Skoda 1203?

Post by: Arunas on August 21, 2009, 12:04:10 PM
I am not very good at technical terms. According to the article about this creature, the car uses custom-made frame that has been made according RAF 2203 frame, but is 300mm shorter. Car also uses suspension components from GAZ-24.

:applause: Bravo!

The car has been hand-built by Albinas Kalinauskas from Alytus, Lithuania. The name of this car is formed by the first letters of the creator's name and his wife's Regina name. It took five years for him to build this car.

The article (only one I was lucky to find) about this car (in Lithuanian) can be sent personally by a request...

It's amazing what a gifted artist can do with a rivet tool, a paint gun, some sheet metal, and a brake.  :P
