Raisin current exhibition - the fastest car in the USSR GL-1, raked terrorist ZIL-111 limousine, Leonid Brezhnev and restoration Opel Kadett directly to one of the stands. Within a few days, anyone can travel back in time in a room in the Crocus-Expo ". Traditionally, the Oldtimer gallery going to lovers of antiques, often you can meet or grandparents with their children and grandchildren. The younger generation not yet understand what emotions experienced bearded Granddaddy, once again sitting behind the wheel of "Brokeback" "plows". But for many who came to the exhibition know the old railway trucks, were lying in each sandbox 20 years ago. It would seem, not so long ago car Mercedes-Benz W123 was an indicator of wealth, so it is preferred to successful businessmen in the 80's. And today, this model has already become old-timers, noting the 33-year anniversary last year. Now the club's fans by W123 model took its place in the history of the brand Mercedes. One of the honored places in the hall takes a stand with a government limousine ZIL-111G, which went to Leonid Brezhnev. This car is hit by bullets terrorist who attempted to kill the Soviet leader, January 22, 1969. The calculation of the offender was wrong - in the car from the airport to the Kremlin went cosmonauts Leonov, coast, Nikolayev and Tereshkova, and the Brezhnev was riding in another car. Limousine, nicknamed "Gregory", this special designation in the garage, was shot on the outskirts of Borovitsky gate - it was released 16 bullets from two guns, one of which fatally wounded the driver Ilia Zharkov. Terrorists neutralized one of the motorcyclists, escorted the status car, drove straight to the bullets and knocking the gunman down. He too was injured, but survived.

The car was built on the basis of "Emka specifically for the record, and during the war years there was no time for its further evolution. Unfortunately, the original was lost, brought to the exhibition model - exactly recreated on a copy of the surviving drawings of the legendary champion. It is noteworthy that the car can hardly squeeze into one person, and if you look at it from the front, you will notice that one side of it is uneven - a place for the driver's elbow. Get behind the wheel of the GL-1 is very problematic - for this we must rely on one foot to the rear wheel, and the second sent to the hatch, and feet first climb into the cockpit through a special hatch. On this race car and drove the famous Soviet pilot Valery Chkalov. There is the exhibition and another retro sports car - Jaguar MKII.
