I thought Lada were dead and buried

No they are very alive and kicking ...

Simple Minds :D

cant recall the last time I saw one on the road in the UK let alone a new one.

Last time I seen a Lada is at a Dodgy Garage near me (where I got stung a few years back with a Dodgy Fiat, less said the better:duh:) and it was a Niva.

The last Lada I read about was the 16 valve version - eight of them were in the radio.
I know I know, but the old ones are the best.

I had two Lada saloons during the 80's really plain and simple motoring at low cost,

a 1500 :smilie_re:

and a 1600, here pictured in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park :smilie_re:

Never had a Niva always wanted one but the management said no :shrug:.

There's an updated version which currently doesn't seem destined for these shores.

I had a 1960 mk2 Ford Consul. It was factory fitted with a Ford branded valve radio. I upgraded to a transistorise unit a push bulb screenwasher and rear static seatbelts.

had exactly the same car (dark green) . radio was slow to warm up with a tingey orange backlight. pretty severe on the battery too when used. especially if parked with the engine not running. !!
