Or like it.
I saw one in the 1990s someone had brought to Limerick, Ireland, and one day it burnt down.
But in 1970s East Germany was exporting Wartburgs to UK. No reverse gear. A 2 stroke that could be started in reverse due to 2nd set of points. Very ingenious. Wartburgs were metal.
The most common brands here in the 70s-80s were Zhiguli and Moskvitch; there were also a few Volgas and Zaporozhetses. Possibly something else I can't remember right now.
