Lada for the Germans

Have you heard about the export program of Lada in Germany? Meanwhile, in Germany, AvtoVAZ products were sold the longest in Western Europe. If the same British cooled to the frets in the mid-nineties, then the Germans found the export version of the VAZ-2110, and Lada Kalina, and Grant, and even Vesta-these cars stood in show rooms until the last. It all started in 1974, when the first batch of thousands of Lada and all … white arrived from the USSR.

This was the first clash of German dealers with the Soviet planned economy, but then things went better. The VAZ-2101 or in the export Lada 1200 cost 7000 marks in Germany-a quarter is cheaper than FIAT-124 and a third more accessible to Renault 12. And in the late 70s, a field appeared-the main Soviet export hit. In Germany, snow dumps were even placed on her, they turned her into pickups and a car. And it was in Germany near Berlin until recently that Zubr, the only tuning studio of Lada in the West, functioned. In the second half of the tenths, there was even an increase in demand for Russian cars. But why did it all end? Watch the details in the new video Hello.

And in this video you can watch the story about the take -off and sunset of the Lada export program in the UK. This story began in the spring of 1960, when Thompson and Taylor Limited was founded in the UK. It is interesting that the Soviet auto industry at this dealer was adjacent to the sale of brand new … Alfa Romeo.

And then the mysterious story of a thousand zils in North America is told. But who will need hundreds of Soviet military vehicles in a sober mind? /m
