Made in USSR Museum, Tallinn, Estonia

In an old flour warehouse near the port in Tallinn, Estonia was the Made in USSR museum. It's a rather odd and eclectic collection of cars, mopeds (quite a large collection), motorcycles and military vehicles. Unfortunately I didn't take down all the details of all the vehicles I photographed, partly because I'm quite lazy and partly because there was very little information provided about the vehicles. If anyone can identify them, please let me know. I know there were a few Pannonian motorcycles.

The location, a partially derelict and quite dirty old warehouse was perhaps a fitting place to display this collection and it certainly added to the atmosphere of the place.

Update 2019 - I believe the museum is now long gone.

I think this one was a Dnepr based on an MZ

A Ural or Dnepr and a sidecar. These were originally BMW r60s built under license in Russia in the 1940s. Ural are still exporting their product around the world.


A Tula motorscooter. I was surprised at how large it was (the photos don't quite do it justice). It must have been a heavy beast to ride. I'd still like one thought.
