Yugo (Zastava Jugo 45 as a matter of fact) is (was) an export version of Zastava. Made in Yugoslavia, not of Czech origin. 3 doors, 903 ccm, 33kW, max speed 87 mph. Licensed Fiat from the 1960s and 70s. First introduced to public on Paris show in 1982.
I've seen a few, while on a holiday in then Yugoslavia. They moved people from A to B. What I didn't like about them was the plastic interior. Not so much the looks of it but the stench. The plastic, including upholstery was of such matter that it kept disintegrating, producing horrible smell. Like in any old car interior of which noone took care.
