	So I've always wanted a boat tail. And like everyone else, I also love the Mk1. The thing is, everyone seems to forget the one in between. Believe it or not, It's a Russian build and when i was looking for more info I googled the numberplate. That took me to www.trumpcars.ru Where I found this Gaz engined Zil: trumpcars.ru/37

	I'm less moved than I should be. Not sure if its the uncharacteristically gaudy colour or the heavy bumper-grille of that year.

	haha I guess it's just me who forgets them. I just never found them that special for some reason, it's nice to rediscover them. Personally I like the gaudy painted bumpers, that's what makes it so different. In fact although it's nice, I find the one posted above a bit unremarkable. BUT I still can't believe the Zil. Am I the only one who can see it? It's Frickin sweet - although I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell me what's wrong with it!

	Think I'm with Emdee on this and quite like the bumper and lights treatment - or at least the way they set it apart and make it look like it's formed from a block of formica.

	I'm glad a few people like it, I thought I was going mad! Just to divide opinion further, have a look at the interior

	You know what? I love it. It's got something to it with the coloured bumpers - makes me think of something you'd see in Street Machine if it was still an active publication
