correct - not sure what the car was called - but told it was "NemoMobile" but some call it "The Nautilus Car" - which ever

Quote
The car, although fully functional, is sadly not street legal. It was built by a specialist movie car manufacturer from scratch using an adapted Land Rover chassis and a Rover V8 engine. It measures a staggering 22 feet long and is 9 feet wide. The car is detailed with a crackle effect white paint job and is adorned with “alternate Victorian” style silver fittings, featuring a repeating elephant theme as imagined by production designer Carol Spier. The upholstery is beige leather and the whole interior is decorated in the same decorative manner as the elaborate exterior.

Back soon with another

yeah, that's a big help, NOT ;D

OK - we have had one of their vehicles before, but it was a sports car.

You have heard of them, but may never had seen their cars or trucks in the real world.

Been making vehicles since 1916.

I want make and model now.

and from the otherside

1967 Zil Minibus, maybe called the 'start'?

as far as I can tell beyond the prototype none where ever made.

Was a ZIL - either a 119 or 118K. Some were made, but not many.

Pro­duced 1962–1970. Also known as “Yunost”. Mod­i­fi­ca­tions are ZIL-118M that was pro­duced from 1965 and escort bus with more pow­er­ful ZIL-111 engine (7-liter 200 hp V8) that allows top speed of 160 km/h. Very few ZIL-118 buses were pro­duced so its extremly rare, they were never really mass-produced.

In 1970 ZIL-118 was mod­ern­ized and was assigned new name ZIL-118K (before that name it was named ZIL-119 for short amount of thime). Last known pro­duc­tion of this car was in 1993 (there were years mean­while where no copies were produced).

In 1995 engin­ers tried to once more put life into old bus but that didn’t go any­where so for now the pro­duc­tion of this bus is “com­plete”. The last ver­sion was named ZIL-32071.

Dur­ing all these years only 93 ZIL-118 mod­if­ca­tions were produced.

Wheels 4x2

Engine (ZIL-130)

Dis­place­ment 5,966  liters
