In early May 1967, the Soviet Union took part for the first time in the XVIII International Bus Week, held in the French city of Nice. As the largest specialized event in its field, it included the XV Tourist Rally from different European cities to Nice, various types of competitions and technical tests of buses.
Preparing "Yunost" for such prestigious competitions, Soviet engineers believed in their brainchild, but that success will be so triumphant, no one could even imagine. The winner of the rally, which won the main grand prize of the President of the French Republic (Sevres vase), was recognized as the Intourist of the USSR for the organization and implementation of the route ZIL-118. For participation in the same competition representatives of ZIL factory were awarded with a bronze medal of Commissariat of tourism and pennant of initiative tourist committee of Nice.
In competitions and technical tests 129 machines of 50 companies took part. "Yunost" proved that it can fight on equal terms with any opponent. In its piggy bank were the most significant awards. The big prize of the competition - the Cup of the Organizing Committee - the machine received by the aggregate of traction and speed properties, the level of external noise and smooth running. In competition of bodies ZIL-118 together awarded a silver medal of the French Federation of bodybuilding. In total the Soviet car took home 12 prizes, it was not possible for any domestic car neither before, nor after "Youth".

The ZIL-111 was a limousine produced by the Soviet car manufacturer ZIL in 1958–1967. It was the first post-war limousine designed in the Soviet Union. After tests with the shortlived prototype ZIL-Moscow in 1956, which gained a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest passenger car in the world, the ZIL-111 was introduced from ZIL in 1958. The body style was in the American tradition of the time and resembled the mid-1950s cars built by Packard, although, apart from being in tune with current trends, it was an original design and had nothing in common with them, except in general layout. The interiors were trimmed with top quality leather and broadcloth and decorated with thick pile carpet and polished wooden fittings. It featured a comprehensive ventilation and heating system and a 5-band radio, all of which could be controlled from the rear, electric windows, vacuum-operated screen wash, windshield and front door window defrosting. was powered by a 6.0 L V8 engine producing 200 hp connected to an automatic transmission (similar to that of Chrysler's PowerFlite and influenced by it, but different in design) giving a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph), hydraulic drum brakes with a vacuum servo booster, coil and wishbone IFS. The car won a top prize at the Brussels Expo World Fair in 1958.
I know I keep saying this, but life is *so* much better with a camping car!
It is awesome having the freedom to lug all our gear around in a vehicle with hot running water, shower, toilet, stove, fridge, and a capacity to sleep 6 people comfortably. All in a package that fits into a standard Japanese parking space.
A bonus is having a room with a view most the time (Ocean front in this shot ;-)
