To close the last story I told in my previous post:
I gave a thought about the costs of makeing a ZIL car, since all of them are/where hand made and a really low number of vehicles was made and only for special purpouses only. A loss of a ZIL car in thouse days would have costet the state a lot of money. From looking at that perspective no wonder ZIL cars are ever rare in these days. And why the V8 personal vehicles didnt make it to be mass produced car in the USSR.
For instance [[GAZ 13]] and [[GAZ 14]] where made in larger numbers and some where also introduced as a export vehicles(number of sold cars unknowen).

But as for the for sale ZIL-111A I hope it will still remain in Estonia. Allthough storys have reached me that the owner has some financial issuse that need sorted out. In that light I can understand the need to sell the vehicle.
My reason for hoping that the vehicle will stay in Estonia is, that its the only one we have and I hope to take pictures of it before its to late. The pictures of the same car in the old topic are all deleted so I have to start from scrach.
