In any case, the 15CV was the first car with front-wheel drive and had excellent road holding. My personal favourite of this show. The car is and remains cult. 😎 (11:35) Alfa Sud (We pronounce it "sood" here). A beautiful sleek sports coupe of the 70s. Unfortunately the cars had a bad reputation, because of their rust problems. My Missus drove one herself and can confirm it. It's a shame though, the cars just look JOU. A great show, T, I'm thrilled. Definitely a thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a bonza weekend to you, your missus and your sofa tigers and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😁 Greetings from the DCcoB, up there at the other end of the rock.... 😎👍🏼🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
That made in USSR casting was really cool, some very interesting history there! My mom had an Alfa Sud at one point, I was a bit young to appreciate it, but I remember the fact it had to seat belts in the back 😅 Amazing what we accepted as normal
This Soviet-era Moskvitch car was made in the Moscow car plant until the end of the nineties. This plant was then purchased by Renault to build Renault cars for the Russian market. Further to the war in Ukraine Renault abandoned the Russian market and donated the plant to Russian entrepreneurs. The Lada is a different car. Was the Russian-made Fiat 124.
Great video, I enjoy the stories that go along with the cars.
Thanks, Nick. 🦘👍

The Alfa Sud was extremely uncommon in New Zealand but it was my only fun for a few years so I forgave it for being a bit of a death trap. 😂😂
Interesting selection. Love the Traction Avant and the Alfa Sud. Great show Tyrone!
Great video loved those vintage solido.

Safety wasn’t a big deal back then…it’s amazing that we survived the 70s and 80s. 😂
Thanks for showing these!!! Started a world die cast collection earlier this year so couple more companies to add to my list.
There is an unbelievable number of brands to discover, J.B. All part of the fun. 👊🦘👍🍻
Very cool Tyrone....not seen before...
Awesome collection and great classic models bro
Liked the Russian car the best, T.
I really have a thing for Soviet makes of firetrucks.
Thanks for "Putin" it on your show.
