There are finds of a different kind too. In Ukraine, for example, a ZAZ-110307 "Slavuta" from 2007 with a mileage of only 43 kilometers was discovered. An inspection on a lift showed that the car's condition is close to ideal.
Production of the ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta" liftback, unified with the ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" hatchback, started at the Zaporizhia Automobile Plant in 1999, although the first pilot batch was made back in 1992.
The launch was facilitated by cooperation with the South Korean company Daewoo Motors, thanks to which a revision of the equipment was carried out.
Initially, cars were equipped with 1.1-liter carburetor engines. In January 2000, the "Slavuta" began to be equipped with carburetor engines with a displacement of 1.2 liters, and in June 2001 with a displacement of 1.3 liters. In December 2002, the most expensive version with an injection engine of 1.3 liters appeared.
Production of all modifications of the ZAZ-1103 at ZAZ was discontinued in January 2011. Over the entire period, about 140 thousand cars were produced, of which 130 thousand were sold in Ukraine.
The found time capsule is fully called ZAZ-110307-40. The car in the "Lux" trim is equipped with an injection four-cylinder engine MeMZ-2477 with a working volume of 1197 cubic centimeters. It produces 62 horsepower and 95 Nm of torque.
With this engine, the "Slavuta" accelerated to 132 km/h and reached 100 km/h from a standstill in 20.3 seconds. The average fuel consumption is 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers.
