TAW Pravda

The TAW Pravda is a supermini car produced by the Neutralstonese car manufacturer TAW Cars since 2006, and previously Tezzaburg Auto Works from 1967 to 2005. It is sold in other markets in Hatchback, Saloon and Estate variants throughout its production run. It was sold in China under the name TAW Xiaoxingde from 2007 to 2010. As of 2023, there have been over 10 generations of Pravda produced, usually identified by enthusiasts as either a series number or a mark number. Since 2006, all Pravdas have been built upon Geely GK Chassis featuring the same engine and similar body work.
Whilst TAW Cars officially marks their Pravda cars by the year they were made for example (Pravda 2008) numerous enthusiasts and related press have called the different generations by Mark Numbers (MK1 to MK10). Many generations of Pravda were facelifted midway through their production, these were often marked by TAW Cars officially as (Pravda 2008b) and by enthusiasts as (MK5B).
The body style has varied massively over the life of the car, originally as a hatchback which was derived from the CMW Pravda. In 2006, The newly formed TAW Cars would start producing Pravdas with modified Fiat Tipo Bodywork as part of an effort to modernise the company, the bodywork would change again in 2011, when the front would be changed to mimic the later-gen Fiat Tipo.
TAW Vehicles built on different platforms have carried the Pravda nameplate. For example, The TAW Pravda Porto sold in Latin America in the late 2000s was a rebadged FIAT Panda City.
Starting in 2007, TAW Cars would start selling the Pravda in Japan as part of an agreement with Japanese Dealership Yanase that specialises in European and North American Vehicles. The Pravda was the only TAW car ever imported into Japan, due to it being the only TAW Cars produced vehicle which conformed with Japanese Government dimension regulations. In 2010, TAW won AutoJapan magazine's cheapest car of the year with the TAW Osaka, a rebadge of the Geely GK Gen 2

The first Pravdas were effectively rebadged CMW Pravdas launched in 1967, just after the formation of Tezzaburg Auto Works. They would use the same body that Copperfield Motor Works had produced for the Pravdas until 1978 when TAW would standardise their cars with new bodywork.
After the FIAT/Geely buyout of TAW in the 2000s, the Pravdas were then heavily based upon the Geely GK and the FIAT Tipo and shared essentially all its mechanicals, the dashboard, and other interior components, although no body panels were shared between the two cars. The first VW Polo based Pravda built officially by FIAT/Geely was unveiled at the Neutralston Motor Con 2005, with full production of the car starting in 2006. 
First Generation (1967-1978)
The first Pravdas were heavily based on the existing models that Copperfield Motor Works had produced previously, the only difference was that TAW changed the engine and mechanicals and changed some interior elements.
Bolton Motor show bombing of 1970
As this car was being shown off at the Bolton motor show in 1970, TAW, being directly owned by the government at that time, decided to bomb the show by putting a petrol bomb under the car to show a sign of resistance against the British. The bomb went off at 13:07 on that day, resulting TAW cars being blacklisted from the British market
Second Generation (1978-1988)
During the Late 1970s, a new standardised Bodywork design would be produced by Tezzaburg Auto Works, this was built to the style of Lada Cars in the Soviet Union. The reason for this was that TAW wanted to cut down costs on car production. 
This body would be used from the Late 1970s all the way through to the Early 90s, receiving very minor changes in bodywork and mechanicals throughout its production.
