Start. CTAPT
A model of the Russian "Start" Minibus of 1963, unusual for the time, the bodies being GRP mounted on Volga chassis. Reputedly an initial batch of 50 was built. It seems that the "Start" was not a part of the greater plan for the USSR Automobile industry however, and the order for a second batch of chassis never arrived, so a further 50 or so were produced using reconditioned Volga parts.
Design of this is mad as biscuits!! Would this have been Virgil Exner's Cab Forward Forward design?
