USSR"s cars

[bum]

during my visits to the former Soviet republics there was one little car which I could never trace. It looks like a copy of the Mitsubishi Colt from the eigthies, comes in two doors only and has no visible markings. Any suggestions?

Can you show me Mitsubishi Colt from the eigthies?

I love this thread. My fave Russian cars are the ZIL 117 (VE, and 114) and the Lada Niva. Hopefully I'll own a Niva, or if I can afford it, a 117 in a few years time.
A few 117, and 117VE pics, shame there aren't many pics around.

ZIL 41052 (1988)

Armored limousine. Pure exclusive, $600000. Hand made.
Weight: 5550 kg
Max. speed: 190 km/h
Armouring: B-7
This car can all! Powerslide? No problem. ABS, ESP? What these? U are master of the road! Mercedes? - such little scale

U can be surprised, but technologies of this car now are used in the US President's limousine Cadillac. Plagiarism!!!

The description of the item says that ZIL-41052 is one of the safest cars in the world. US specialists could not unveil the secret of the Soviet super-vehicle prior to the perestroika period. When the USSR collapsed, they acquired the old ZIL vehicle and dismantled it. The secret turned out to be very simple. The traditional armoring technology implies the strengthening of the basic construction with armored details. Soviet engineers chose a different technology: they welded the armored capsule and then built the car on it. Such a construction is absolutely impossible in the serial production, but Soviet officials were not sorry to spend money on their own security.

Does anyone know how much a ZIL 117 would go for normally? From what I know leess than 50 examples were completed. I'm not talking about one in concours condition, just a regular, used one.
