Zil 112/4 #2. It appeared that I've got only one pic besides those in the first post. Sorry
To be mentioned, some time ago there were some rumors about the car - it had to be restored, or a copy made - I don't know, but it should've been presented in 2006, IIRC. Unfortunately, I know nothing about it. Moreover, I specially searched for concerning info, but found nothing. So, the most possible variant is that nothing came out of this.
By the way, USSR Championship should be considered a race, I guess, not a full season. Anyway, I'll deal with this before I make a thread about USSR racing.
