The paper presents the development of an original Polish car, the Syrena BOSTO, in the years 1971-1975. The process, which was conducted in Bielsko-Biała, encompassed all the stages, from the initial concept, through the development of the design, the construction and testing of prototypes, all the way to launching serial production. The car was developed in response to meeting the objective of a 'vehicle for the needs of farming' formulated by the political authorities of the Polish People's Republic. Rational solutions with regard to the body of the car gave the vehicle a universal character and considerably broadened the circle of its potentials buyers, to include people engaged in the handicraft, service and trade sectors.
