The Museum of "Time Machines" in Dnipro received a gift, a rare pickup modification of the "Zaporozhets", called the ZAZ-968 MP. The story of this version goes back to the 1980s, when the first such car was built to deliver parts within the AvtoZAZ plant. The collapse of the USSR and the emergence of small enterprises and cooperatives pushed the plant to launch small-scale production: around 2500 pickups were built between 1990 and 1994. This rare survivor had to be removed from the roof with a crane.  The condition of the donated car is difficult: broken glass, damaged body and punctured wheels.

The purchase cost is RON 28,000 (€5,500).
