A truly unique Soviet automobile has appeared for sale on an online classifieds platform: a "Start" minibus. This particular model was featured in the movie "Kidnapping, Caucasian Style." It is specifically stated that the vehicle for sale belongs to the same series, but there is no information confirming its participation in the filming. The price of this rarity is 26 million rubles.
The minibus was created on the basis of the GAZ-21 "Volga" in the 1960s and was produced for only 7 years, from 1963 to 1970, at the Lviv Bus Factory. Most of the small batch of 150 units were used by the Central Television of the USSR as equipment for film crews.
The main feature of the "Start" was its fiberglass body and a 75 hp, 2.5-liter engine from the "Volga." Despite its modest characteristics, the minibus was advanced for its time, and its futuristic design favorably distinguished it from other representatives of the Soviet minibus fleet.
