Nice Nysa

Along with the FSC Żuk, Poland produced a second light commercial vehicle, the FSD Nysa. Unlike the Żuk, however, which kept the same basic shape for its 40 year, 500,000-unit production run, the Nysa was redesigned three times. This is the earliest version, from the late 1950s, an N57. Extremely rare; usually if you see one, it's rusting in a farmyard or overgrown driveway. This one looks to be still in regular use. Total production (1957-94) was 380,000, of which by far the most numerous was the Nysa 522.

This time last year:

you should renovate this vehicle, paint it up and in a Ken Kesey and the Pranksters-style wave of existential abandon, travel to Shell Lake in the USA. It's a wonderful crock. Pick me up at Ebbsfleet.
