1927 NAMI-1
The NAMI-1 is the first car, created in the USSR. It was developed in 1925 by Scientific Automobile Motor Institute (NAMI) on the basis of the graduation project by a young engineer Konstantin Andreevich Sharapov.
The project NAMI-1 represented an attempt to join the simplicity of the design, cheapness and other positive qualities of a motorcycle with a sidecar with a comfort of a runabout. It was produced in a small batch in Moscow at the factory «Spartacus».
403 pieces of the NAMI-1 were made from 1927 till 1930. Today two survived chassis, two factory-assembled cars and several familiar units and aggregates are known today. This chassis of the NAMI-1 was demonstrated by the museum Automobile Review.
