The model shown must be a 1978 Zastava Z 750 S(=standard),recognizable for the black circle placed on front nose crossed with a ZASTAVA silver writing inside(meanwhile of chrome fake grille-logo compo of correspondent Italian 1965-1969 Fiat 600 D,of which use the same coque,including front-hinged doors,and 767 cc.,4-cyl.,water-cooled rear engine,an evolution of previous 633cc.--got raising cylinders bore--fitted on previous 1955 Zastava Z 600,that with "suicide-doors").Couldn't be a Z 750 L(=Luxe),'cause lacks rubber-covered overriders on bumpers. Early exports of that car began in 1968(was the 1st Zastava to be exported);last Eighties'ones were fitted also with 848 cc.engine;in that configuration,the car was named Z 850 and built,together at Z 750,until 1986(last versions shown inside the same steering wheel fitted by FSM 126p/650--Polish-made version of 1977 ex-Fiat 126/650);the Zastava Z 750 was locally used also in touring car's national single-marque championships.At home was popularly nicknamed as "Ficio","Fitjo"or "Fica",all terms traducibles as"little Fiat",approximatively. PS Not stated of certitude,but seems that this car was been assembled for a while even in Turkey( believe I had read something on that on the Autosoviet website). PS2 Thru a my German friend(fan of East-Europe-made Fiats)had discovered that into '60s was built a Fiat 600 D even in Bulgaria;maybe(but is only a my hypotesis)could be a Zastava Z 750 coque-based,exported CKD down there???....... |

During the balkans-war, tools and material came from the Serbian factory to Tofas, and yes, they were built in Turkey up to the of the 90's. |
