I think there is some misleading comment with the Zaporozhets/ZAZ 965.
I recently saw a renewed one (or very simlar see the photos) in the lobby of a hotel in Tartu (Estonia, formerly a republic of USSR).
It is said: “In terms of design, it was a unique car despite the numerous talks that it was just a replica of Volkswagen “Beetle” and Fiat “Topolino””. Topolino was a FIAT 500, but the car I saw is much like a FIAT 600 (I had two in my 20’s), with a solid roof, powered by a 750cc, 4 cylinder, water cooled engine, unilke the FIAT 500 (two cylinder) and VW (flat four) which were both air cooled.
Any comments are welcome.

I used to own VAZ 2101 in 1973 (I was 19 years old) and then VAZ 2105 in 1979. Wonderful cars, never any problems with them. They were like a family pets and was loved and taking care of. Drove long trips from Armenia to Russia’s black sea. It feels now like a wonderful dream. Time machine any one? I wanna go back!

In the past I have owned both a 2109 Samara and a 2121 Niva, and thoroughly enjoyed both vehicles, especially in our Canadian winters. I really miss having them…
