Jnelson09 ◊ 2006-11-04 20:25	They had Yugos in the UK?
antp ◊ 2006-11-04 20:53	As they are from south-east Europe, I guess that they were exported in most European countries...
Jnelson09 ◊ 2006-11-05 01:20	No, I mean, they were called "Yugo?" Wouldn't they have been called "Zastava"s?

antp ◊ 2006-11-05 11:24	Even in their native country some of these cars were called "Yugo" -- Last edit: 2006-11-05 11:25:10
fck ◊ 2006-11-05 11:28	It'll be Zastava Yugo. Now that it's like FSO Polonez, where FSO is a plant/make name, but everybody(include papers and car dealers) call him Polonez. So let stay the Yugo Yugo Koral 45 -- Last edit: 2006-11-05 11:29:05

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2007-04-11 02:13	Yugo 45 in the UK, IIRC. The Koral name wasn't used.
rrshadow2 ◊ 2007-04-11 02:21	According to the book "East European Cars" by Julien Nowill, The company Zastava changed their name to Yugo in 1980 in an effort to export cars with an easier to pronounce Name and the First model to carry the new name was the Yugo 45/55/65 that we are all familiar with

DonSergioMorello ◊ 2009-06-27 17:06	I guess this is probably Yugo GVL(it has long colored sticker going from the front to the back edge of the car - take a look on the first picture) from 1990-1991 (or maybe even 1992), because it doesn't have small triangular windows on front doors, and side indicator is rectangular, rather then round like older models used to have. Picture 1 - Yugo GVL for american market: Old side indicator: New side indicator: Older model - with triangular window: Newer - without it(from 1990): -- Last edit: 2009-06-27 17:09:22
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-06-27 19:32	This is in Britain, so it's not a GV or GVL. Those names were only used in the US.
DonSergioMorello ◊ 2009-06-28 00:35	My mistake, it had something like "GL" I think, and better equipped model was called "GLS", like on these pics:
Rayac024 ◊ 2010-09-02 11:54	Jnelson09: "They had Yugos in the UK?"- They also had Fićo (Zastava 750) in London. One woman with Croatian origins had driven Fićo all over the Europe from Yugoslavia to London.
Hazzard ◊ 2011-04-13 18:54	One of the worlds most ugliest(and crappiest) cars. A perfect monster truck victim.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2018-10-23 17:55	These triangular quarterlights are indeed not present e.g. in 1990/1991 German cars, but still plenty of Yugos (incl. also some British ones) had them till mid-90s, when they had to dissapear for good from all versions. In this case, their absence must help to narrow down the choice of possible versions. However I doubt it is 55 GLS, which in British, period materials always had plastic body kit. These quartelights are another Yugo-mystery, next to the 1st year of the reversing lamp+fog lamp units placed next to the main taillamps (and not below bumper). On bigger scale it was for sure used since 1987 (1988 MY in some US trim levels), but here is car, which proves that it was possible to meet something like that already earlier -> /vehicle.php?id=1011141
dsl ◊ 2018-10-23 18:13	Agree not 55 GLS - no alloys (as well as no body kit). If Glass's info is complete, I'd put this as a June 86 onwards plain 45A (with correct side strips, opening rear quarterlights and small front spoiler) - most other UK versions had rear spoiler and/or alloys. I can't explain the patterned side tape nor suggest a date for when front quarterlights disappeared.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2018-10-23 18:29	Not 55 GLS, but most likely it was indeed not made before ca 1990, by the absence of quarterlights in doors (which at this time were absent only in some versions - not all of them). Maybe they say something about it in early 90s Glass? This is something unclear.
dsl ◊ 2018-10-23 18:55	Weasel1984 wrote Maybe they say something about it in early 90s Glass? Nothing mentioned. All UK 45/55/65 sales stopped in April 91, so if the window change was about 1989/90 it was only available for a short time here so would be rare variation.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2018-10-23 19:20	This is strange. Here is 1990 brochure: Link to "www.ebay.co.uk" All of them have these quarterlights including top of the range 65. And already linked above Yugo 45 reg. in may 1991 - also with quartelights: https://www.flickr.com/photos/38389354@N07/6429998139 Anyway I propose in this case to narrow this down to as late, as it is only possible - so to 1991. Maybe e.g. quartelights were removed for 1991 in 65 only... In Europe cars from these years and without quarterlights are the most easy to find in Germany and in Germany they had only 65s and 60s.
