A unique offer for collectors has appeared in Yekaterinburg - a fully restored Soviet IZH-27151-01 pickup truck from 1990, better known under its export name Elite Pickup. The cost of the rare car is 1.5 million rubles.
This model has a special history: it was developed by special order of a Finnish dealer and was intended exclusively for export. Due to the characteristic elongated body shape, which was ideal for transporting long and light loads, the car received the unofficial nickname "banana truck".
From a technical point of view, the pickup truck remained true to the original: it has rear-wheel drive, a 4-speed manual gearbox and a 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 75 horsepower.
Such cars are very rare today, since in the USSR pickup trucks were practically not available for free sale to private owners, and the vast majority of export cars remained abroad.
