Workshop cars ZIL
In the previous photo essay about TSLA was a review of the second floor halls, where are the main manufacture of vehicles. This time we will focus on the first floor. On the same floor you are on duty in the shop, so we tried to move very quietly and spend a minimum of time to take photographs.

Will be 35 photos, please do not break.
01. The first thing that caught my eye on this floor - mounted on metal poles pictures range of vehicles ZIL related workshop. So I, too, will start with the continuation of the history of passenger cars produced in the TSLA.
02. Over time, any car, no matter how he did not seem perfect - obsolete. ZIL-111, of course, was no exception. Designers knew it in the early 60s began to work on a new limousine and sedan executive class. In 1964, a change of power in the country, instead of NS Khrushchev, the head of the country becomes LI Brezhnev. Leonid Brezhnev, unlike his predecessors did not refer to foreign models, which should be oriented to designers when creating a new limousine, which enabled designers to develop their own car.
02-2. To do this, the plant was created by a team of the best specialists. Lead designer Rodionov was appointed Vasily Fedorovich. In 1966 it was raised three experimental instance, have been shown to Brezhnev. The next year, just as the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, began assembling the first stacker car garage special purpose (GON). The new car - ZIL-114, although it looked like American cars, was completely national development. At this time, about any copy of the question.
The new car was equipped with one of the most powerful at the time, the engine - 7-liter V-shaped eight-cylinder engine producing 300 hp (In fact, the power of 300 horses were scheduled, in reality it was about 280.) Knowing for whom the car was meant, it is not surprising that the car was equipped with the latest technology. ZIL-114 has an adjustable steering wheel, landing it can be fully recline, and then lock in a comfortable position. Power steering, lock all doors by the driver, a separate air conditioning system for the driver and passenger, disc brakes (ZIL-114 was the first domestic car on which to fix the brakes of this type), electric, transistor ignition, automatic transmission and a smart suspension with telescopic shock absorbers that We struggled with the "dive" under braking - all this makes the car a supremely comfortable.
In all the years of manufacture in the design of the machine was made a minimum of changes. On the left in the picture earlier version, right - late.
03. In 1971, on the basis of ZIL-114 was released representation sedan - ZIL-117. Although limousine and sedan were developed at one time, but for reasons unknown to me sedan appeared later. This sedan was used extensively to accompany the processions, as the car was more dynamic because of the weight reduction. After suffering a first stroke Brezhnev in 1972, it became clear that in the tuple need a special machine to provide emergency medical care. Therefore, on the basis of a limousine in 1974 it was manufactured two cars with the index ZIL-114A.
04. It should be noted that it was with the advent of the ZIL-114 Likhachev Factory found a single brand name. Prior to that, the cars were a variety of posters.
05. After a brief historical reference go back to the shop.
06. On the first floor is TSLA about a dozen cars. All of them are covered with polyethylene, so they do not attract dust.
07. Before you remove the cloak with the car, we decided to make sure that this part of the shop empty.
08. For duty on the shop floor directly in front of parked cars to equip a special room with windows on all sides. There is what we looked.
09. Inside, there was no one to give us a reason to relax a little. Admittedly this does not mean that no one TSLA. The doors of the shop were closed from the inside, so most likely he was in another part of the building.
10. Since no one is near, so you can take a chance and look under the polyethylene.
11. But before we look at cars, I'll tell you about the last series of the Soviet limousines issued shop cars.
12. Despite the fact that the ZIL-114 had considerable technical reserve. In 1974, the plant designers have transgressed the development of a new car. It was affected by several factors. In the first place in the same year he was ready to test the forced engine ZIL-114, developed by designer Vladimir Koshkin and his team. Second on the nose it was XXV Congress of the CPSU, and to this event in the factories of the USSR was adopted to make gifts. But in the third car fashion does not stand still and must catch up. By the end of 1975 it was made a few prototypes for testing, and after 3 years to the 61 th anniversary of the October Revolution, was collected the first batch of new cars. With their appearance, he stopped the release of ZIL-114, which at that time for 11 years, collected 113 specimens in various versions. However, it also stopped the release of sedans ZIL-117.
13. The engine in the new limousine - ZIL-4104 was very good and with plenty of inventory, which allowed them to equip government limousines all generations and all modifications until the end of their production. There were three generations of this car: ZIL-4104 (1978-1983), ZIL-41045 (1983-1985), ZIL-41047 (1985-2002). They had only minor external differences between them. As I understand the change in appearance was due to the change of power in the country. Make a new machine for each new secretary general was inappropriate as the head of the Soviet Union died so quickly that in addition to the design grille and headlights do a global change was not enough. Unfortunately, because of the high security cars ZIL-4104 destroyed immediately after the passage of 100 000 km. Total these machines were produced 106 cars. Cars second-generation was made even smaller - 48 copies. The last limousines third generation (ZIL-41047) was produced most of all - about 200 pieces.
14. As with the previous limousine, on the basis of ZIL first and the third generation has made the medical version for senior (ZIL-41042 "Black Doctor"). It was not the only modification: ZIL-41072 "Scorpion" - a special escort vehicle; ZIL-41044 - front phaeton for parades, was used until 2009; ZIL-41041 sedan; ZIL-4105 version of the armored car and a few special communication.
Special attention from all these species deserve armored ZIL version. Externally, these cars are no different from the usual limousine, but inside was hidden bronekapsuly. More often than not, to make the vehicle armor is placed under the skin sheets of Kevlar, but in the case of ZIL-4105 acted differently. In Kurgan plant were made special bronekapsuly and in TSLA top of them collected the car. Obviously, when mass production was impossible to do so. In addition, the machine is installed bulletproof glass: a head - 43 mm, side and rear - 47 mm thick, multi-layer self locking in the breakdown FIGHTING fuel tanks. As all of the major systems in the car were dubbed. All this has made ZIL-4105 the most secure passenger car in the last century. In all there were 16 such cars in the bodies of all three generations.
15. This concludes the story of the lineup and we go back to the shop where it is not without our help with the cars neatly starred polyethylene.
16. As I wrote last time, the shop is now engaged in repair and restoration of cars produced by the same shop at a better time.
17. The apparatus for testing and engine diagnostics.
18. At some sites, the information is found that the shop is still occasionally collects ZIL latest generation of spare parts for collectors.
19. Sedan ZIL-41041.
20. It is a pity that on the first floor was not representative of the old car, all those who stood were released no earlier than mid-80s of the XX century.
21. Limousines also virtually no.
ZIL-41047
22. But the most interesting were no limousines sedans, convertibles and the unique ZIL-410441.
23. In 2006, the Ministry announced a tender for the anniversary parade convertible 2010. This was due to the fact that more than 30 years, used cars ZIL-41044 can bring in technical terms, and the couple has been to upgrade the fleet.
24. To create a ZIL-410 441 using elements of the chassis ZIL-41041 sedan. Brakes, chassis and engine is used all the same as they were parked a few decades ago, but some changes have been made yet. Installed a new automatic 5-speed gearbox imported, the power unit was distributed fuel injection system made by ZIL, as well as a new air conditioning compressor. Small changes undergone and the exterior of the car. The most unpleasant aspect in the new car proved folding roof, which was ordered in Germany and periodically to unravel. Besides the aesthetics of the car spoiled a large enclosure, which was folded tent.
25. The plant would very much like to receive this order, and made every effort to this: the old drawings have been raised, dug factory warehouses in finding the right parts, and also attracted retired professionals. But, unfortunately, all the efforts were wasted, the competition was won by firm Atlant-Delta based on the GAZ plant. Won the competition convertible I do not dare call ZILom as on the original machine was taken only to the body, the rest was borrowed from the 2500 GMC Sierra pickup truck, but this is purely my personal opinion.
26. The design of the cabin ZIL-410 411 working Gleb Wiesel.
27. The combination of devices made Avtopribor, climate control unit was taken from the Priory, and vents of the ventilation system - from Audi.
28. A total of 3 copies made, but in the shop stood only two, since one in 2011 was sold to Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
29. The plant suffered a heavy defeat in the competition, because a victory could give new life to TSLA.
30. Now, these unique cars, waiting in the wings, and he, I think, sooner or later there in the face of a collector of rare cars.
31. In addition to the walls hang photos of the model range, and information boards. It surprised me the number of machines, such as the car was not made, though perhaps only in this index designated body.
32. Perhaps someone have any questions as machines mixed between floors. The answer to this in the ceiling of the first floor made a special opening. If you really look closely at the photo below, it can be seen.
33. After we finished photographing cars, we back them wrapped up in plastic to keep track of our stay no one noticed.
34. The entire first floor we capture failed, was too great a risk to fall into the hands of duty, which we did not want. Therefore finished with this part of the second floor and we went for a way out of the shop.
35. And a little bonus. Here's a little car we got mimimi at one workplace in the workshop.
This is the last photo post.
