The Appeal
The FSC Żuk A-07 is a classic Soviet era van from Poland. Produced from 1958 to 1998 the Żuk was extremely popular thanks to its solid build and excellent utility. Thanks to a restoration carried out by the previous owner in Poland, this Żuk presents very well for an Eastern Bloc vehicle of this age whilst retaining all of its character.
Registered for up to eight passengers and with a large load space it’s a versatile vehicle that would make for a fantastic, unique coffee van or similar. Equally, thanks to its rarity outside Poland, it would be perfect for any collector looking to add something a little more unique to their collection.
In very good condition throughout and having recently been serviced by the current owner (including a new clutch) this Żuk is ready to drive. The current owner is willing to deliver the vehicle nationwide as well as into Europe, subject to negotiation.
