Moskvitch 2140

Here is a Moskvitch 2140, post-1982 refresh.

As it's one of my few absolute favorites, it always gets to this blog regardless the condition or surroundings or even the weather or time of the year.

My count of these vehicles remaining on the road also goes well, this being the 6th Moskvitch 2140 overall and the 4th post-1982 Moskvitch 2140.

Moskvitch 2140 # 5

Here is a Moskvi(t)ch 2140, post-1982 version, in some snow-bound inner yard in Moscow.

 Recently we had this PRE-1982 Moskvitch 2140 so can now search for differences between the two.

Differences of the POST-1982 model from the PRE-1982 2140 model are the most obvious in front and include: no sign of chrome trim, no emblem - replaced by plain lettering AZLK in Russian on a plastic grille, also a plastic bumper with integrated amber turn signals and side lights (parking lights).

Pre-1982 (or about) model:

Post-1982 featured model.

Some chrome trim is left in the back though.

SL trim which stands for super luxury - an upgraded trim.
