Book excerpt: East European cars are generally derided in the West as cheap, low-quality rustbuckets. This title aims to dig deeper, covering almost all the vehicles produced from the end of the Second World War to the end of the 20th century from the most basic three-wheeler from Czechosolovakia to the big V8 limousines of Russian and China. Many Soviet bloc cars were never exported to the West so there are many unfamiliar marques such as the Zil, Chaika, Syrena and Tatra. These are covered along with the better known Skoda, Lada and Trabant, including Soviet land-speed records and prototypes.
