The Zastava, Lada and Polski Fiat have come in from the cold
When Tom Hanks visited Budapest, he fell in love with a communist icon: the tiny Polski Fiat 126p. Every time he saw one parked on the street, with its boxy form and adorable winking headlights, he would post a photo on Twitter with the caption: “My new car!” Residents of the Polish town of Bielsko-Biała, where Fiat produced the car from the 1970s, took him seriously.
Others want something tougher: “little weird cars”, as Griffith calls them, like Trabants and Ladas. These are near-indestructible and, unlike the Yugo, reliable once any weathered parts have been upgraded. Griffith also does a solid trade in customised, tank-like 4x4 Lada Nivas that he sources in the Balkans for US clients. They also have an undeniable cuteness, with their bubble-shaped headlights.
