Think the 505 or 605? was built in Iran and/or Egypt for a while in late 90's early 00's? Seems every taxi out there is one. Mates had several of them, thought they were great 20 odd years ago (most of them from back then still running around) and foolishly set him on the path of Peugeot in the UK, yeah, he quickly changed his mind on that lol.
For a while old Audi 100/1st gen 'A6' from 1989-1996 were being built in Russia or Kazahkstan I think? Remember seeing absolutely tonnes of them out there, originally thought they were all being rebuilt using NOS audi parts, but turns out was the whole audi line had been moved out there. Most cars had the 2.6/2.8 v6 (reliable AF) and high spec interiors as standard. Did think about going and buying one new and bringing it back as was the last of the real solid steel Audi's IMO.
