HAVERTON HILL 1 ◊ 2008-01-12 23:51	Car of the Year in 1976. I have seen two in 15 years. One was a Simca badged version in France, the other was for sale somwhere in the North.
Richard Davies ◊ 2008-04-08 22:17	By Uncle had a red 1979/80 one ex-fleet from 1983-9. It's one of those cars which were common at one time, but the numbers went down very quick.

antp ◊ 2008-07-14 11:14	They just copied the style
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-07-14 17:09	Wikipedia says: Quote The car originated as a front-wheel drive "proof of concept", based on foreign models. In the late 1970s Moskvitch bought about two dozen compact cars built by different manufacturers, and thoroughly tested them. French and Swedish cars were favored for their utility and reliability. The final decision was made by the Minister of Automobile Industry, who chose the French Simca 1307 as the best candidate for the Russian market. Engineers modified an existing Moskvitch engine for front-wheel drive layout and fitted the drivetrain into the Simca. After the tests were successfully completed, it was decided by the rights to copy the Simca 1307 bodyshell almost entirely, starting from the A-pillar. While this decision helped to cut the development costs, it came as an insult to engineers and designers, who had their own mock-ups of future car ready. The morale of the staff had been damaged, and Aleko never became a beloved project among Moskvitch engineers... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleko
ecclefechan ◊ 2008-07-15 23:23	So was it actually a licenced copy? That article doesn't really make it clear.
antp ◊ 2008-07-16 13:44	No, just copied like the Chinese do now. -- Last edit: 2008-07-16 13:44:53
