It wasn't a kit car for anyone but was a serious proposal!

GIOM 1, Slovakia

Yes, it's the GIOM 1, but of course it dates from before Slovakia was an independent country so Czechoslovakia would be more accurate.
But wasn't a major Czechoslovakian car maker involved, using one of their engines?  I wonder who that could be, for your point!

Locked for you.

GIOM - Garage 10 Motorists.
The skeleton was built on the crashed - Skoda 1000th
Engines were more - Skoda, Fiat 1600, BMW.
But mainly Fiat 1600 / Fiat 124 / - 96 kW / 8000 rpm.
The car was destroyed in the crash.

Yes, apparently this car started life with a 1.0 Skoda engine, but it was replaced after a couple of years by a Fiat 1.6.
It also spent some time with an electric engine, when it was known as the Elektron!
This is actually a repost so now I've given you your point I'll have to merge it with the original.

Thank´s.
Electric drive is not used in this car. ELECTRON was a magazine for young people, who supported the construction of the car.

I see.
I did read somewhere though that it had an electric motor just for a year or two!
