Export models (408E) had quadruple headlights. The car was sold in France as the Moskvitch 1300, as the Moskvitsh Elite (408)/Elite De Luxe (408E)/Elite 1300 in Finland and as the Moskvich Carat in Norway. It was powered, since 1966 by 1,357 cc (82.8 cu in) straight four petrol engine, producing 54 hp (40 kW).[3] It had a top speed of 80 mph (130 km/h), which was faster than the contemporary Volga.[3] "More worth than its price", was its slogan for export sales. It proved a good value in Britain, Finland, and Norway, for instance, and in 1968, 55 percent of production was for export.[8]
It was also assembled by Scaldia-Volga SA in Brussels, Belgium. In Belgium the car was sold as the Scaldia 1300/1400,[1] although Scaldia also installed Perkins' 1.8-litre 4.108 engine in the Scaldia Diesel beginning in 1968. This model offered 52 hp (38 kW) SAE, but lacked the twin headlamps of the petrol-engined export 408.[9] It offered a 120 km/h (75 mph) top speed, not a dramatic change from the classic 408 engine, but offered better fuel economy. The 1.6-liter, 44 hp (32 kW) Perkins 4.99 engine was mounted between 1965 and early 1966, when it was replaced by the 1.8-liter version. This smaller engine was also mounted on the Moskvich 407.
