For your reference:
ZIL-111В was a Soviet high-class passenger car available as a long wheelbase sedan, limousine and phaeton. It was assembled in small batches at the Likhachov Plant in Moscow from 1959 to 1967 год. The automobile was used in specific and exceptional situations such as parades, ceremonial escorts and on other upscale occasions. The convertible “inspected” Soviet military and October Revolution parades in the first half of the 1960s.
Sunbeam Motor Car Company started manufacturing sports vehicles in 1953 by introducing the two-seated Sunbeam Alpine. The model was a successor of the Sunbeam Talbot 90. The car had a four-cylinder 80 hp engine and was capable of 120 mph (190 km/h).
