Why did Yugo suddenly disappear?!?

If you’re my age, you might remember Yugoslavia as a sort-of Communist country that was a nice place to go on holiday. But you’ll definitely remember it for the cheap, tiny hatchback thrust upon an unsuspecting public – the Yugo.

What were the Yugo’s origins, why did its meteoric rise end so suddenly, and what happened to the company behind it?
