It's a home-build, yes, but I don't know what parts were used. I only want the name of the builder..

Depends where you mean by Eastern Europe?

That's not the name I have.

In that case the answer is "No"!
Professionals?
So let's try - Austria?

No. Perhaps my Reply#7 wasn't clear. It is Soviet but not by the name kwgibbs mentioned.
Serra only mentioned the Soviet-dominated Eastern European countries but not the old USSR itself so I had to answer "No"!
Understood. Ukraine?

I can't be more specific on the "where?" part, which is really answered because it's from the old USSR, making it a Soviet home-built.
I just need the name of the builder now.
was it built by the same person that built the Trud,Oleg Kucherenko?

No, not him.
I've found a picture with no name or builder, but the plate is Russian and tag as 'Stylnenkyy'
You've found the right car!
Except I have a different name for the builder (which may or may not be correct of course; I'll try to check).
Meantime this is locked for you to see if you can find the same name I have..
I'd just like to explain that "Stylnenkyy" is definitely not a name. I guess it's Стильненький, which would be something like "stylish" - probably just someone's funny comment.

Thanks!
As mentioned at the start it's not the name of the car I'm looking for as I don't know it, but the name of the builder.
Is Vladimir the first name of the builder ? (someone has to try something, right ?)

No! Plenty more Russian names to go, although I don't actually know his first name, just the first letter of it and his surname...
Is your source a website in Russian language ?

I'm hard pushed to remember after a year and a half but I think it was, yes!

I believe that's right but this puzzle is so old I've filed away the details!
It will have to wait until Monday when I can access them again.
I believe I gave a clue in another puzzle..!

g. Rybinsk (г. Рыбинск) - this is a Russian city, where that car was built..

Not in another puzzle but you mentioned a source in another thread and I just had to go there to find the puzzle car.

Ha ha, I guess Carnut and I misunderstood it the same way as we used the same source.
So am I gonna get a point because I found the same wrong answer ?
Yes, it's the right word I was looking for whatever it meant and since I have no other information anyway I can hardly deny you that!
I'll do it tomorrow.
At the different Russian websites I seen some images of this car, but without the name of the owner/builder. I thought that you know the name of the builder.
He built at least two cars - orange and green (they have the same number plates!)
Cars are in Rybinsk (Yaroslavl region), Russia.
I thought I knew the name of the builder as well (B. Rybinsk I had) but clearly I didn't...
There's a huge number of these Russian self-built cars and they make interesting puzzles but are often very short of information.
