Can you identify this beautiful little bus? An easy point I suppose.
German?
Not German.
Japanese?
Not japanese.
Up....If there will be no further answers in Expert's section in the next 24 hours, I'll move it to Pro's.
Is it an outdated Ford model which was built in, say, a South American country? There are definitely lots of styling markers of the Taunus FK1250 van in the design.
Skoda?
The styling is actually Taunus-lookalike, but this van is not a Ford built in South America or elsewhere.
And it's neither a Skoda.
Mmm. Styling copy, eh? Chinese?
Not Chinese.
Except the, maybe modified, front looks a Romeo 2º minibus built in Spain under Alfa Romeo license during the '60s.
Not a Romeo, neither Alfa Romeo nor Fasa.
Ok, but FASA was the producer of Renault in Spain still in operation but under Renault Automóviles brand name, the company making Romeo vans was FADISA, that become absorbed by EBRO-Motor Ibérica, that afterwards become part of NISSAN. Just to keep correctly informed the followers of the game...
Of course you're right, I confused the names.
Soviet RAF-978 Spriditis.

That's right...you got the correct answer; actually RAF is not a Soviet marque, but a Latvian one.
Latvia was part of the Soviet Union back then. :idea:
Please ID this microbus for a point - brand and model are required
RAF 977 derivative?
I just say, it is from RAF. Locked for you
RAF 978 Spriditis?
Congrats, another point to you.
Shown at the 1960 Geneva Autoshow
I had a slightly different version of the Spiriditis lined up as a puzzle, too. :)
yeah, that's the RAF 08 Spiridits from 1958
It seems the simpler version was also named Spriditis RAF-978:
