The story
The C-330 grew out of the small C-325 of 1959 and the C-328 of 1963, and went into production at the Ursus works in Warsaw in July 1967. It was deliberately simple: a two-cylinder, water-cooled diesel of just under two litres, six forward gears and a light frame that suited small Polish farms.
Over twenty years the changes were mostly cosmetic plus a stronger front axle, and most were painted orange-red, though some green ones were made in the 1970s. Thousands went to Yugoslavia, and Escorts in India assembled the related 335 in large numbers.
A revised C-330M with a new gearbox and rear axle arrived in 1986, and the line finally ended in 1993.
Did you knowA 1976 C-330 bought new and kept unused in a garage for 44 years as an investment was later offered for sale in Poland for nearly 100,000 zloty.
