Car in the 80s - Everyday cars and specials

The seventies were also remembered in automotive history mainly because of the oil crisis. The 1980s were smoother, but yes, there are events of their own. New car brands appeared on our market from the Far East and old familiar ones were left behind. The Russian Lada continued to top the sales statistics. The familiar hidden station wagon phenomenon was supposed to be limited by more precise rules to the 70s. However, it emerged again in the 80s in the form of big Yankee jeans, when suitable loopholes were found in the legislation.

The hobby of old cars entered a completely new phase when the importation of cars at least 25 years old became easier at the end of the decade. You wouldn't have believed that dozens of Rolls-Royces could be found in the Finnish registry at that time!
