This Aleko-Rally 2141 was the last Official Team Moskvich Rally Car along with 2141 4x4 Rally Car, as the Official Team was closed in 1995. Source- www.drive2.ru/b/288230376152015190/ |

2023-02-07 09:24 | Why "Moskvitch", and not "Moskvich", without the "t"? Not only it is the correct English transcription of cyrillic "Москвич", but it is also how they spell it on brochures (at least English ones) and export badges: www.autominded.net/brochure/div9/1969%20Moskvich%2006.jpg  -- Last edit: 2023-02-07 09:25:33 | |

2016-02-26 14:49 | From 1980 the export variant 2140 SL was built with different look (plastic bumpers and other details) than normal 2140. In 1982 facelift the look of 2140 was upgraded to SL look. And there is fun fact. Moskvitch stopped to export cars into Czechoslovakia in 1980, but if you liked the look of this variant, you could rebuild it via 2140 SL spare parts that were available. -- Last edit: 2016-02-26 14:55:50 |

2016-01-17 21:54 | Desscythe17 wrote This was also sold in the Netherlands as Aleko 21-something. It's in my 1992 catalogue. en.wheelsage.org/azlk/2141/ There is a Lada Aleko front picture and an Aleko S (91-92) rear picture, but I don't know if they are what you are looking for. Nice find Desscythe17! I intentionaly tried to find SL pictures to differ it from standard eastern model, but still. You can add your variant (2141) of the name in secondary model. Soviet cars often used "nonsencial" number naming, but I know that there is system in it, depending on size, body type, engine etc. EDIT: There it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_model_numbering_system_in_the_Soviet_Union_and_Russia -- Last edit: 2016-01-17 22:13:33 |

2016-01-17 21:24 | This car does not have anything in common with Lada apart from engine. On French market it was offered as Aleko (insert trim level here), on German market as Lada Aleko. By the way, did somebody saw this car in person? I guess it must be super-rare, since there are very few pictures of it. |

2015-11-11 14:56 | Desscythe17 wrote The English translation should be exactly the way you hear it. So if you hear a v-sound instead of a w-sound, it should be Moskvitch. It might be similar to the centuries-old debate about "vodka" or "wodka". That may be the problem. In czech language, V and W have exactly same pronounciation. But as I thought about it more, I think I somehow get it now (and thanks to IGCD member krq9), because english W sounds similar to mine U, so it would sound more oddly. -- Last edit: 2015-11-11 14:57:11 | |

2015-11-11 10:31 | JFK wrote If am I not mistaken, cyrilic alphabet doesnt have W at all. I must say though, Moscow would look oddly with normal V, but that is only habit. In fact, I dont see reason why they did W either. For sure it looks odd when we are using W in city name and V in car name. It should be either all W, or all V. You might be overthinking it.

2011-09-16 15:48 | yes it's a group b rally car. it isn't so famous |
| fck
2011-06-19 14:30 | I am absolutely sure about the year, so it had to be a car for Group S or smth else. |

2011-06-19 11:00 | giorgio92 wrote it's a group b rally car? i don't think or there is an error on the year. Group B is ending in 1986 and some makes do some prototypes in 1986 for the Group S (that had never began in 1987 because of the erase of the Group B). So?? |

2011-05-09 18:06 | Aleko is a name of serial Moskvitch (2141 Aleko, made 1986-2001). Maybe this concept had to enter serial production under Aleko name, but everywhere it's described as "Istra" (as you can see on a front "plate"). But if we talking about car manufactor names: Moskvitch = AZLK. .gif ";)") -- Last edit: 2011-05-09 18:07:24 |

2011-05-09 17:53 | Steering wheel and the rear both say "Aleko", and I remember that as a russian car manufactor, so shouldn't this car be an Aleko instead of a Moskvitch? (sorry if I'm wrong, I'm not good at East-European and Russian cars.) |
