Chief engineer Laimonis Klege (Latvian. Laimonis Klege), designers J. Ositis (Latvian. J. Ositis), G. Sils (Latvian. G. Sils) and 4 more enthusiasts on their own initiative created the first RAF-10 minibus. In honor of the VI World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow, the RAF-10 was given the name "Festival" (Latvian. "Festivāls"). The RAF-10 was built on the platform of the GAZ-M20 Victory car, had a carriage layout, a steel bearing body and 10 seats (hence the model index). The original body structure caused a lot of complaints and in 1958 was changed. The car also received an engine from the GAZ-21 Volga. On November 20, 1958, the plant began mass production of the RAF-10 “Festival” minibus, and by the end of the year 11 copies were made. In the same year of 1958, the RAF-08 “Spriditis” minibus (Latvian. Sprīdītis, Finger-finger) was developed on the chassis of the Moskvich-407 passenger car. After the modifications, the baby was planned to be launched into a series in 1960 under the symbol RAF-978, but the project was curtailed shortly after the release of a small industrial batch in order to free up production capacity for the RAF-977.
