A water-cooled inline four finally replaced the ZAZ-derived V4 that had been in the design since 1966. Production ended in 2002. Model research review, 28 September 2026: the supplied Sergei F image is titled LUAZ-1302 but depicts a canvas-roof survivor and is categorised as a 969M on Commons. The requested game configuration remains hard-top, reusing the photographed later 969 hard-top shell rather than presenting this photo as proof of a factory 1302 hard-top. The photo supports the late vertical grille, metal trim, round headlamps, lower rectangular lamp pairs, rounded bumper and pressed steel wheels. Individual improvised visor, barbed wire and damage are not part of the generic model. LuAZ-Fan’s 969M/1302 gallery says their exterior bodies are the same and documents the 1302’s 53 hp water-cooled inline four, revised seats and padded dashboard. Its technical sheet gives 1091 cc, 39 kW, 80 Nm, 970 kg, 95 km/h and 1800 mm wheelbase. Geometry shares the 969 builder and shared wheel mesh, including the fixed spare. Ukraine origin preserved; no exact civilian operator country established, operating countries remain blank.
