1962 Serpukhov Spoutnik with an air-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke engine of 15 bhp in the rear. Edit: I found it in a French book, but I guess the international orthography will be Sputnik... -- Last edit: 2011-12-30 19:41:16 |

Looks like a mixture of a BMW 700 with a carrousel-car. |

The "make" will be SMZ ("Serpukhov Machine Works" I bet), this was the name of the factory back then (today it is SeAZ - Serpukhov Car Factory). The car is described also in "Młody Technik" #9 1963. They say that also NAMI participated in this project. -- Last edit: 2011-12-30 20:15:07 |

Ah - "M" stood not for "machine", but "motorbike". |
