In fact I don't - only one from the mentioned sources is Polish*. Most of the links, I have given, leads to pages written in Cyrillic(!), one to international/English Wikipedia and one to some facebook page written in English too.

(* But to be honest I have one more annual Polish catalogue, which I didn't mention yet. It says about existance of the Madaras 401/402 too. It is from 1992 and in this case it was a direct translation of the German edition.)


It is very possible that for most of people, this brand (in this context) was unknown. It could be used only on the technical and sales material. For example here many people didn't know that Star fire trucks were sold (and registered!) under the Jelcz brand with own and different type/model names. Colloquially it was simply "Star fire truck". Does it mean that we should list them this way?

I'm sure the history of the Madara-GAZes was described in some recent Bulgarian magazine for the trucks/busses enthusiasts (and if it wasn't yet, it will be) - such article can brings some new facts.

P.S. As it turned out to be controversial, I've just changed the origin of the "400s" to Soviet one.
