Moskvitches were assembled in Bulgaria by the Balkan factory: http://www.carhistorybg.com/makes.php?lid=2&id=4 The longer article in Bulgarian from the same site mentions the 2140 -- can anyone translate? http://www.carhistorybg.com/makes.php?lid=1&id=4 |

Let's wait for the full translation  |

Wasn't there also an assembly-factory in Belgium? Or do I confuse it with the Wolga limousine? |

I think you do, Ingo. Doubtless someone will correct me on this, but I think the Volga M-21 was assembled in Belgium and fitted with Diesel motors, originally Perkins, later Peugeot. Someone apparently thought they'd make good taxis. |

Also the Moskvitch was assembled in Belgium and sold (at least) there and in Holland under the name of Scaldia (latin for Schelde/l'Escaut, the river that crosses Antwerp). There was the older model (412?) and the model shown here (though in an older version) as 408 and later 1400 or 1400 Diesel. |

Do you know, how many "Belgian" Moskvitch and Wolga were made? And if some are still eixisting? The one and only "Belgian" Moskvitch, I have seen, has been that one: http://www.icmesa.com/tinhunter/Houthalen/Moskvitch.jpg at that location: http://www.icmesa.com/tinhunter/Houthalen/THAHouthalen.htm (I think, on that place was a Volga, too.) Also there were some remarks in magazines like the yearly "auto katalog" of the 70ies. -- Last edit: 2007-10-28 21:43:42 |

Hi all, the translation should be sth like this (I'm Bulgarian but my english...:/): After 1976 is adopted the manifacturing of the new serie with a better style of Moskvitch 2138/2140 with engines 1360/1500 cm3, which is a heritate of the models 408/412 (the production of the cars with engine 1360 cm3 is stopped since 1979) I hope this will help! //I'm a proud owner of such a jewel :-) -- Last edit: 2008-08-20 09:48:24 |

Congratulations! Do you have an idea, how many are still existing today? I have Mostwitch-rememberings from GDR-visits in the lates 80ies. My friend obver there had a 1997-model. I was irritated about the trunk (why was the spare-wheel placed there?) and I when the trunk-lid was open, I always tried to push it up, because I thought, it doesn't open correctly - but I couldn't lift it. |

Thanx! I'm not sure about the number - they became very rare since the years 199_, but it's still possible to see them. In Moskvich almost everything is easy to open and quite difficult to close |

Sorry, a correction: the Moskwich was a 1977-model, surely no 1997. |

Thanks for your comments, niki. By the way, there are photos from quite a few films shot in Bulgaria, most of them using Bulgarian locations to represent other countries.

To rename - in Bulgaria the later 2138 and 2140 were known as 1360 and 1500 Link to "cgi.ebay.com" http://aloba.deviantart.com/art/Moskvich-1360-176997613?q=&qo= I bet such names they had in most of COMECON export markets. The very few Moskvitches of this gen. imported to Poland also were 1360/1500 (though perhaps exceptions were also possible). |
