Moskvich spot

I've yet to photograph a Lada and this morning I spotted this:

Wow!

Nice work!

That very car appears on the Mosky wikipedia page's picture section:

Description=Moskvitch 1500, at the Wartburg/Trabant/IFA Club UK Rally 2006 in Stanford Hall. Possibly, this car was one of the many imported into the UK by Satra Motors Car Importation and Preparation Centre, Carnaby I

 

Man those things are rubbish, and therefore I'd love one. Preferably one of the later ones. I love it when companies try and tart up an ancient model.

Very nice spot indeed;great shade of blue which suits it well

Excellent spottage! Never see anything like that round at my Morrisons, mores the pity.

Terrific spot, sir. Are those Renner 12 headlamps in the facelift model?

[vulgalour]

That's a bit special, that is.

Yes I leaned over to take a peak at the front and it had rectangular-ish headlamps like the white one in RedSparrow's post.

 

Was going to get to the petrol station area to take a front pick but thought I might end up 'doing myself a mischief' on those metal barriers so thought better of it.

 

I love those tiger skin seat covers.

Here's the link to the wikishiteier photo of the front of the blue one:

I have decided that the IZH version is shite-er.

Sovietska Range Rover!

One I spotted in north Somerset earlier this year...

Nice! I've never seen one in the metal yet!

Apart from the front fascia the IZH door handles are inexplicably a bit further down! Also that estate one pictures was exclusive to IZH. The Mosk estate was a lot more upright in the tailgate area.

Ace spot: that's a Holy Grail that is. A Mosky in the wild? I haven't seen one since the mid-80's - a distant relative's neighbour had a mid-70's estate which was slowly returning to Mother Earth.

Fantastic spot. Interestingly, to me it looks more modern than my "Western and sophisticated" Rootes Arrow of the same year!
