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) 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



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



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

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.
