2140 or 1500?[edit]

Here we go again. We have the same car on the left and on the right... It's called 2140 on the left and 1500 on the right. It was never called 1500 in Russia, so unless there is some evidence it was called 1500 somewhere else I would remove 1500 designation and kept 2140 only.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Papushin (talk • contribs) 01:22, 11 May 2006

It was definitely called 1500 too. I will upload another pic showing the back of the car, including model number. --Asterion ^{talk to me} 06:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

listen!!!the white and the blue moskvich are called 408 and they have 1500 or 1360 cc engine —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.222.175.145 (talk • contribs)

Both cars are really the same and were called AZLK-2140 officially. They had engine from Moskvitch 412 which is 1500 cc. They might have been fitted with other engines although I don't remember if they actually were. If you open the hood it says 412 on the engine (I clearly remember it, my dad used to have one). 408 was a different car. 412 and 2138 were sort of predecessors of 2140. 412 looked similar but it was easy to tell apart. Both blue and white are definetely 2140s (or 1500s as they were called in UK according to other people). Papushin 01:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The blue one is a model sold in the UK as Moskvitch 1500. E Asterion ^{u talking to me?} 23:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fiat 125 / Moskvitch 1500[edit]

There is an uncanny resemblence between 1967 Fiat 125 and Moskvitch 1500. Sample image here: http://www.bilhistorie.no/6070/lav282.htm For more images, do an image search in google for "fiat 125". Although the article states that the models excpet the 400 is developed indigenously by the Soviet engineers, I think I have read something about a collaboration between the USSR and Fiat s.p.a of Italy. Please note that I am not trying to downrate the capabilities of Soviet engineers. Sandeepmdas 04:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You've mistaken Moskvitch for Lada. Ladas were modernized FIATs. Papushin 14:03, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Moskvich logo.jpg[edit]

Image:Moskvich logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Aleko section breach of copyright? Sourcing issues.[edit]

It looks as if the first paragraphs of this section rely verbatim on http://ucapusa.com/lost_marques_moskvich.htm. (Section on Aleko 141.) As the original article is unsourced as well, it just adds to the lack of referencing in this article generally. Needs work. asnac (talk) 18:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
