Item description
SMZ S-3A is a two-seater four-wheeled motorized vehicle, mass-produced from 1958 to 1970. The car used an Izh-49 motorcycle engine with 8 horsepower.
A total of 203,291 vehicles were produced.
From the point of view of design and performance, the S-3A had both significant advantages and significant disadvantages.
The main problem was that, being a motorized wheelchair for people with disabilities, the car was not intended for long and long trips.
The S-3A was quite heavy (425 kg when loaded), labor-intensive and expensive to manufacture due to the all-metal body with a space frame made of chromansil pipes. On the other hand, by โautomotiveโ standards it had poor dynamics (maximum speed 60 km/h), insufficient cross-country ability due to small wheels and weak engine thrust. The comfort and design of the open body also left much to be desired, and perhaps the only advantage of the two-stroke motorcycle engine used on the sidecar was the simplicity of the design; other indicators - power, fuel consumption (up to 5 l/100 km), durability, noise - did not stand up to criticism.
At the same time, the overall simplicity and maintainability of the design partially compensated for its imperfections and low technical characteristics, making the car unpretentious in operation; the extremely low price of gasoline in those years made it possible not to notice its relatively high consumption.
Model made in China by DeAGOSTINI, 1/43 scale. The body of the model is made of metal, the rest of the material is plastic.
Model in good vintage condition. The model was kept in a special rack. A perfect piece for collectors or as a gift for a child.
