FSO "Warszawa" 223 Taxi - the Polish passenger car

FSO "Warszawa" (Warsaw) is a Polish passenger car, produced by FSO in Warsaw from 1951 to 1973, and possibly also in China or Cambodia. It was a licensed copy of the Soviet GAZ-M-20 "Pobeda", later redesigned by FSO. It was the first model to be mass-produced in Poland after World War II. The car was equipped with two models 2120 cm³ gasoline four-cylinder engines - the M-20 and S-21. Torque was transmitted via a single-plate dry clutch, a 3-speed manual gearbox (from 1971 they were also produced with a 4-speed gearbox) and a cardan shaft to the rear axle. The first "Warszawa's" (M20, 200, 201 and 202) were described as a four-door car with a "humpback" fastback body. In 1964 a sedan model appeared, and from 1965 a five-door forgone was produced. Throughout the entire production period, the 'Warszawa" was modernized. Since 1958 a pickup truck was produced. Special vehicles were also produced on the "Warszawa" chassis: police cars, ambulances, vans, postal cars and manual driving vehicles. The "Żuk', "Nysa" and 'Tarpan" were produced, using "Warszawa' components. The last car rolled off the assembly line on March 30, 1973. The successor to the outdated model was the Polski Fiat 125p, which appeared in 1967. During the entire production period, 254,471 "Warszawa" units were produced, of which 72,834 were exported. "Warszawa" is sometimes called "Warszawianka" or "gorbuszka" ("Humpback").

A simple model, consisting of a dozen parts of the passenger car FSO "Warszawa" 223, belonging to a taxi service company, is intended for beginners and modelers with little experience. They will not even need a more experienced colleague to advise them, because the model is really not complicated.
