Uriui hyanggi (2003)		 ingo DE@kegare: if you mean the guy (named Kim Jon Ryul in the book), who wrote the recommended book Link to "www.amazon.de" (I don't know, if there is already a translation in English), he wasn't a used car trader. He was the responsible manager for the import of all kind of Western goods to the DPRK. 2012-05-31 19:06

Uriui hyanggi (2003)		 kegare JPAs aforementioned by Lateef, there were not many built and were phased out quickly due to reliability issues. Mercedes-Benz, are, on the other hand, much more popular.

The indigenous civilian passenger-car industry, too, mostly made knockoffs of models produced elsewhere. After importing a fleet of Mercedes-Benz 190s, the country produced replicas under local model names into the 1990s. Unfortunately, the domestically made copies were dogged by reports about ``terrible overall quality,'' says Erik van Ingen Schenau, author of a new pictorial book, ``Automobiles Made in North Korea.''

Lee Keum Ryung, a former used-car trader who defected from North to South Korea in 2004, agrees. The knockoffs came with ``no air conditioning, no heater, and they're not tightly built or sealed,'' he says. ``If you drive out of the city and return, your car will be full of dust. It's like an oil-fueled cart.'' Lee, 40, uses a pseudonym because he fears repercussions from North Korea. 		2012-05-30 16:44

Accordingly those were only made in 1987-88 and only a few prototypes were made, whereas this is a 1989+ model due to the cladding.		 2012-05-30 16:40
