Please provide the approximate year of manufacture, engine used, and the name of this strange beast

Zerk

Based on FWD running gear, but midengined?

sixtee5cuda

In spite of appearances, front engined, rear-wheel-drive

Up!

A little hint for the Pros:  This car is not a one-off

Plasmobil by K. Mysovskiy 1976.
Somewhere called Aiar.

I'm pretty sure it's a repost of one of Arunas' puzzle. I think it's being restored by Amperi Garaaz.


Arunas

That's interesting! I can't think possible origin of name AIAR...

One point to Paul Jaray for the correct answer.

AiAr combines the first two letters, of the first names of the builder's parents.

As this will be combined with the earlier puzzles, can we include AiAr in the title, along with Plasmobil?

The first posting of this car indicated it was "powered by a ZAZ-969 engine at the rear".  Unlikely, as shown by this picture (Possibly a translation error.  It does have rear wheel drive).  I have also included an image of two of these cars together.
