That looks like a T34.

[Stickyfinger]

T34/85, Factory No.122 at Gorky production, date is hard as wheels are not correct/original for the hull but based on the turret casting details (Zavrod 174 with the Zis-s-53 cannon) I would say May-June 1944

Not that familiar so nothing is hidden here....you get the whole lot. I know what the car is, but I have no idea what the Tank is....

Or what the bike is...

Looks like it has a Brooks saddle though

The first choice for all long-distance touring cyclists...

That's something you definitely don't want on a bike Alasdair

[Stickyfinger]

ouch !

[NewcastleFalcon]

The Tank has gone well done to James, and Alasdair with the detail. It stands in Mykolayiv

So here's the Car probably not that familiar a model outside of the Ukraine

Bit of photograph scrutiny, bit of a google query, should pop up fairly easily

It looks, although I know it's not, vaguely like an NSU Prinz...

Here's a cryptic clue

Would score 9 in a Game of Scrabble in the Ukraine if playing with the official Scrabble distribution of "letters" for the Ukraine and your playing partners were happy to accept abbreviations of Ukrainian Car manufacturers as valid in the game

These two references should help

Ukranian Letter set Scrabble
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble_ ... tributions

Ukranian alphabet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_alphabet

There are easier routes. Ukraine isn't overflowing with Car manufacturers after all

ZAZ-968M Zaporozhets?

ZAZ-968M Zaporozhets?

Spot on James! Either you know your Scrabble and Ukranian Alphabet or took a more normal route!

Its a "3A3" (ZAZ) which is refected in the Company logo, and would score 2X4 (3) plus 1 (A) in Ukranian Scrabble!

Spotted this one in the MK Aldi car park this morning... Not seen one for years...

Own Work

Amazed there are any left...

This was not a tidy example... The next most ratty car in the car park was my Ka

You probably should have obliterated the number plate Jim The seasoned "whatsthisthener" can unleash an arsenal of weapons of skulldugery with that bit of info to get the answer!
