In 2002 the production of cars under "Moskvich" brand was stopped. But in USSR it was very popular among automobilists. "Moskvich 400" and 401 modification (1947-1956) - a copy of Opel Kadett K38 "Moskvich 402" (since 1958 - modification 407, 1963 - modification 403), 1956-1964 "Moskvich 408" 1964-1968 "Moskvich 412" 1967-1975 "Moskvich 2140" 1975-1988 "Moskvich 2141" 1986-1997 (till 2002 - modifications with Renault engine)

Isn't that most recent one a Talbot Alpine clone?? Looks very familiar!

Renault engines were in late 1990-s, not long before the factory had closed - cooperation with "Renault" was thought to help "Moskvich" survive (but it didn't).

Moskvich rally concept The model of Moskvich 2141 KR (prototype of the 1988 for rally races) with the engine of 175 hp and the top speed of about 125 mph (200 km/h) could be a beginning of a short-run production of AZLK sports-cars, but the idea also wasn’t realized. The prototype now stands in Autoreview museum (Moscow). Looks like a poor kit car copy of the Ford RS200
