by Ukraine is hard to call a Mecca of classic cars, but you can find rare retro cars here. Moreover, some of them are truly unique. TopGir has selected the most striking retro cars in Ukraine.
Bentley Speed Six Sportsman Coupe

This Bentley coupe exists in a single copy and is not originally registered in Ukraine. A very well-executed replica drives on our roads. Interestingly, the Sportsman Coupe was created to commemorate Bentley’s victory in a race against a high-speed train.
Ford V8
There are at least two cult American hot rods Ford V8 in Ukraine. One was recently put up for sale, and the other became an exhibit in the Mezhyhirya car museum.
Mercedes-Benz 540K

In Kyiv, two Mercedes 540K were seen, and both are not originals, but replicas. However, credit must be given to Ukrainian craftsmen – the legendary cars are recreated to the smallest details.
One of the Mercedes 540K is a roadster, and the other is a stylish aerodynamic coupe Autobahn Kurier. The original sports cars were equipped with a 180-horsepower supercharged eight-cylinder engine.
Mercedes SSK Trossi Roadster
Another cool and detailed replica of a famous pre-war car. The streamlined Mercedes SSK roadster was created by order of Count Trossi, and this 300-horsepower beast was the fastest car of its time – 235 km/h. Rumor has it that this copy, like the Mercedes 540K, was made in Kramatorsk.
Horch 951
The Horch 951 limousine is one of the most luxurious pre-war German cars. This particular vehicle is currently in Kamianets-Podilskyi and is a trophy – the car previously belonged to a German general.
Zimmer Golden Spirit
This coupe is made in the spirit of the 30s but was actually produced in the 80s and equipped with a Mustang engine. By the way, some parts are gold plated. There are at least three Zimmers in Ukraine.
Phillips Berlina Coupe
Another old-style car. Interestingly, it is based on the iconic Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Not so long ago it was sold in Lviv.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
This Rolls-Royce was owned by Scrooge McDuck and (surprisingly!) Nikita Khrushchev. Currently, one similar sedan is registered in Lviv and is often seen at retro shows.
Cadillac DeVille
Similar Cadillac from 1959 was loved by Elvis Presley. It not only has huge fins but also air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows.
Plymouth Hemi Cuda
The Plymouth Cuda convertible from 1971 with a 7-liter V8 Hemi is one of the most valuable muscle cars. The cost of these 425-hp cars can amount to millions. By the way, the dynamics are decent even by modern standards – 5.6 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of 240 km/h.
