I traveled to Poland 4 times from the 1980's to the Mid 1990's and was fascinated by the sheer number of different cars there. The first time was 1983 driving the pre-war autobahn in the DDR there were virtually no western cars to be seen. My hosts had an older Syrena Bosto and a 126P which we drove to Gdansk. On that trip I saw virtually all of the cars listed here in person. Later on in my career I was sent by Time Magazine to the region during the time after the fall of the Berlin Wall when all of these nations were gaining independence - travelling south from Trieste Italy and then north from Thessaloniki Greece through Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Yugoslavia (and all it diverse parts), then Czechoslovakia, back in to Poland where I met my friend again in Zakopane after traveling through the Tatra Mountains. Still there were not many western cars around. Great Model from DeAgostini Poland that was manufactured by IST of Macau Most Poles drove the 126P as they were cheaper and the waiting period for the average Pole was about half that of the more powerful Polski Fiat 125P which was in turn based mechanically upon the 1960's Fiat 1500 and had the body of the new Fiat 125 ZIL 101A
