I can give you the background story on that photo.
In the mid-seventies, Zastava set out to prove the durability of their new 101 hatchback (which was a Fiat 128, where Zastava re-engineered the rear, converting it from a 4dr sedan to a 5dr hatch). They minimally prepped a fleet of five of them, got some pro drivers, and drove them from the Zastava factory in Kragujevac, Serbia to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania!
After successfully completing the treacherous 11,000km expedition through Europe and Africa, the cars were shipped back and put on display at various Zastava showrooms.
