FactA humble Soviet sedan swept the podium: the Moskvitch 412 placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 1973 Avon Round Britain Rally, then won its class at the South Africa Safari Rally the same year.
A small family car built by MZMA / AZLK in Moscow from 1967 to 1975 and by IZh in Izhevsk from 1967 to 1982, a more powerful and prestigious version of the M-408. Its UZAM-412 engine was a 1,478 cc overhead-cam four, slanted 20 degrees, with a block, head and inlet manifold cast in aluminium alloy, a hemispherical combustion chamber and replaceable steel liners, designed by Igor I. Okunev. Sold in the UK in 1974 as the Moskvich 1500. Until early 1969 it had a column gear lever and a front bench seat; after that a new gearbox and floor shifter arrived.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
