Москвич 412 Иж Москвич 412 спорт IZ MOSKVICH 412 Иж-Москвич-412 ON RALLY SPRINT The Moskvitch 412 (Moskvich 412, M-412), also called 2140 in 1975 prior to discontinuation and 1500 SL outside USSR, was a small family car produced by Soviet manufacturer MZMA/AZLK from 1967 to 1976. It was also built as the Izh 412 by IZh in Izhevsk from 1967 to 1982 and replaced by the spun off Izh Comby series thereafter. The 412, although featuring many flaws gradually fixed with its replacement, was one of the best known third generation Moskvitches and, until 1974, the best selling car in the history of AZLK.
Basically, the Moskvitch 412 was an upgrade of the 408 model in terms of engine features, just as the second generation M-403 was an upgrade of the 402/407. Both cars are often wrongly considered as one chain of succession; in truth, the 412 was in planned development before the 408 production began, simply offering more features to the driver for a higher price. Unlike the 407, the car was made affordable by the absence of concurrency in many Eastern Bloc countries (besides its own relative, the 408).
The 1500 cc was a slant inline-4 engine. Block, head and inlet manifold were aluminium castings. Steel cylinder liners were replaceable to enable easy repair of the engine instead of having to replace it entirely. The same engine was used on Moskvitch cars until the sixth generation (2142)
В 1967 году, параллельно с развёртыванием выпуска М-412 в Москве, аналогичные автомобили стали производить вместо М-408 на построенном на производственной базе оборонного предприятия Ижевском автозаводе, курируемом Министерством Обороны и лично министром обороны Гречко.
Марка «Москвич» в обозначения моделей при этом была сохранена — и все автомобили ижевского производства обозначались именно как «Москвич-412» (позднее, после появления обновлённого кузова, — «Москвич-412ИЭ»), хотя и несли заводской знак Ижевского завода на решётке радиатора. Первой моделью, выпущенной под самостоятельной маркой «Иж», был ИЖ-2125 «Комби». Таким образом, допустимыми являются наименования «Иж-Москвич-412» или «ижевский „Москвич-412"», но не «Иж-412».
