The Syrena was a Polish automobile model first exhibited at the Poznań Trade Fair in 1955 and manufactured from 1957 to 1972 by the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) in Warsaw and from 1972 to 1983 by Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych (FSM) in Bielsko-Biała. 177,234 were made by FSO and 344,077 by FSM, a total of 521,311. During its remarkably long production run it underwent only minor modifications.

The Syrena was produced in various models: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, while the most popular model was the 105. All were 2-door sedans with two-stroke engines, initially of two cylinders. (Wikipedia)

The general members assembly was held at Polish restaurant U Górala (ugorala.nl/nl), which is a very nice place to discover some Polish cars, bikes, mopeds and lots of other Polish stuff.

In feite een Fiat. Echter liep destijds de licentieovereenkomst tussen het Poolse merk FSO en Fiat af, waardoor de naam Polski Fiat niet meer gebruikt mocht worden. Het model ging toen verder onder de merknaam FSO.

In fact a Fiat. However, at the time the license agreement between the Polish brand FSO and Fiat expired, as a result of which the name Polski Fiat was no longer allowed to be used. The model then continued under the brand name FSO.

FSO Polonez 1.5 CE, gen. Hallera av., Gdańsk, October 17, 2021

Polonez was designed as a successor of Polski Fiat 125p. The mass production started in 1978. After over 1 million cars in different versions built, the production ceased in 2002.

The first one I've been able to photograph. I've noticed a few of these for sale on car.gr so I've been hoping to see one for a while, this is one of the later ones wearing Daewoo badges. This one is clearly abandoned. It can't be that old, so for it to be abandoned this early it must have been very unreliable as pickups in Greece are used for a long time.

Here's a better kept example for sale:

A few days later we returned to this village and it was little surprise to see them parked-up in a garden together. I wonder if 7244 LA 82 was another one?......

One of three, and easily the tidiest example, if that can be said.
