The most seasoned classic or young-timer enthusiast will scratch their heads when they see the accompanying photo and the text? A Moskvitch 2141 Aleko? This is in fact the Simca Talbot Alpine SX - also known as Simca 1307 - the entire factory of which was transferred to the Russian automobile manufacturer Moskvitch after the car in what was then the Free West. In 1986 the factory went 'running', the last one left the factory gate in 1998. In the meantime, the Russians had also been given freedom (...) and they could unabashedly surrender to the much better Western cars. That ultimately meant that the Moskvitch factory in 2002 went bankrupt. The most wonderful thing is that the paper company still exists, the factories still waiting untouched for better times? Part of the complex is already experiencing that. A so-called j with Renault it meant that the production of the Logan started there as well.
