year to OAO Moskvich. Its production was scheduled to begin in 1992, however,
due to some difficulties, the launch of the model was postponed for an
indefinite period. In 1997, it was decided to start the issue of the «Moskvich-2141» saloon, but
not in the base, and in the upgraded version. To his fiasco began almost
immediately after the statement on the conveyor of the basic model. This
decision is very doubtful " in the world practice to facilitate the
development and statement on manufacture of made to develop all of the body
modification of the model simultaneously.BackgroundOn the basis of the basic car Moskvich-2141 at AZLK planned to arrange
production of sedan Muscovite. It is important to note that the work on
creation of the 41st family were not at the same time with the basic хэтчбеком
- to develop a sedan on the basis of already finished хэтбека was adopted
later, which significantly hampered the work on the car. As a result of the
operations carried out, in 1990, saw the light of AZLK-2142.Серийное production
of sedan was scheduled to start in 1992, after mastering the serial production
of the new engines 414-series - on this particularly insisted the General
Director of the AZLK In. P. Kolomnikov, categorically not to repeat the mistake
with the release of a new car «Moskvich-2141» with outdated engines. Already by
the end of the 80-ies of the model of «2142» was seen as a new base model with
the upgraded interior and chassis. It was planned to conduct preparatory work
and in 1992 put the car on the conveyor. And in the project was the
installation of a model for the new power unit, the 1800 cm3. AZLK-2142 had a
slightly подретушированную appearance in comparison with хетчбэком. There have
been created some other bumper and grille. Accordingly changed and rear part of
the body. Moskvich-2142 had the profile of a classical strict sedan. Leaders
saw in the new basic model with an updated interior and chassis. But due to the
economic recession and another for a number of reasons, the start of series
production AZLK-2142 was postponed for an indefinite time, and later had not yet
begun. All were released a single number of instances of the Muscovite-2142,
many of which simply were in private ownership, becoming a rarity for автоколлекционеров
and fans of the brand.History
of creation Fully ready for production sedan «2142» never reached the conveyor, even to the
end of the 90-ies, left embodied only in a number of experienced and any
prototype machines. However, understanding the need for the availability of the
product line sedan, the new management of JSC «Moskvich», first of all in the
person of its General Director Р.Асатряна, decided to produce small lots
