Experimental prototype of a compact car for personal use. The car was built on the basis of the Moskvich 408. The side panels of the body were made of plastic and fiberglass. The car had large sliding side doors on both sides. The interior was situated as a five-seater.
A1357cc four cylinder developing 54hp- Was sourced from the Moskvitch 408. Styling was quite futuristic for the time.

Wasn’t that car designed specifically for disabled people to drive?
This is what I was able to dig up — it was an experimental fiberglass body on the running gear of a Moskvich 412, intended as a city car. Sliding doors were to allow parking in tighter spaces. Unique one-off most likely; perhaps they built 3-4 body shells but only one running exemplar. After demonstrations in Moscow to government officials the project was canned and the prototype shipped back to Izhevsk where it sits (or sat?) in the factory museum.
