Tatiana... that was the name of my Legal Adviser when I was in Bosnia! She was much better looking though Ivan!

Looks real good there, time for some off roading.

They are now being imported again and you can buy one brand new!

I love putting myself up for some p1sstaking...


The lada is perfect for it..



Ugandan Dollars - LOL


Its soon to get fitted with a rebuilt Fiat 2.0 twincam, a full stainless 2" system, and I might put the tow hitch back on it .


Towing the little Fiat with my Lada will be UBER COOL . The mpg will be rather scary though, it only does about 20mpg now with a 1600 in it.


You have always been able to buy new Nivas from Russia - LHD only as they are now, for around £8000.



Carry on -

Only jesting... I have to admit to having a soft spot for the Niva!

I've never heard anyone knock them (who actually knows what they are talking about!).

I went to the local Harley dealers last week, they have just moved into the since closed Bentley delaers. As I pulled in there was lots of gleeming HArleys & Buells outside , a lovely TR6 a Porsche 996gt and a Bentley GTC.

I went in the showroom, and when I left whose car had three people standing looking at it ??

My Niva won...

We had one of these as a workshop runabout in Dubai, went everywhere and in the 4 years we had it im betting it never had its fluids changed or checked either knowing the workshop boys! Tough as old boots but somehow endearing...

Theres a Spanish diesel on Ebat at the moment, only problem is its still there. Peugeot diesel so a tad flat.

Theres a guy got a Cologne V6 in his, and another with a LDV Tdi.

My Fiat TC will do the trick, its still very low geared but will sound magic with a 2" exhaust.

Since Top Gear did a bit with them , they are making more money now.

I describe them as 1950s technology crammed into a 1990s bodyshell. It can be fixed with a hammer, a piece of wire and some gaffer tape.

Never leave the house without them.

Its a Lada with a V6 Frod lump and a lot of money spent but drives shite!
Seems to have done the rounds since he got it from the original builder, has been advertised loads by different sellers all claiming its a 1 owner vehicle
