The festival director noted that at this stage, the unique Tavria is undergoing a preparatory phase for the exhibition. It is likely a matter of cosmetic work, as the car is in a well-maintained condition.
Not much is known about the ZAZ-11025 "Tavria" with a landau body. According to rumors, only three such cars were produced. They were assembled in the late 1980s based on regular hatchbacks by the NTC "ZAZ-Avtotekhnika".
The main difference between the Tavria landau and the regular ZAZ is the folding roof. Above the heads of the rear passengers is a soft top that folds/raises using a special mechanism (like in convertibles). Above the front compartment, there is a folding plastic sunroof (lid).
In the early 1990s, two of the three Tavrias were sent for testing to Greece. Subsequently, one of them returned to Ukraine (to Zaporizhzhia), while the other remained in the Balkans. In the summer of 2020, the "Greek" example (beige color, see photo) unexpectedly "surfaced" for sale in Macedonia (with a mere mileage of 345 km).
The car was almost immediately bought by a Dutch collector and then resold to Estonia.
It should be noted that OldCarLand will traditionally take place on the territory of the State Aviation Museum named after O.K. Antonov.
