Looks like we have both been surfing Kijiji this morning. I wonder about parts availability. That, and communist build quality.

Parts would be a bastard I’m sure, rust looks to be a big issue too.

Go for it! Parts may be hard to find on this side of the pond, but I imagine there are plenty of clubs / places to buy parts in Europe that would make it easy enough. Ladas are built like tanks...they may not be “great” cars, but there’s got to be a reason there are still so many running round Russia despite some of their ages!

Owner says it would “ressurect” pretty easily too (which I believe) - no harm in looking at it! :D Plus, the rust doesn’t look THAT bad...new rockers and = profit comrade?

Buy it, get it running, and sell it to me in a year when it’s viable for import!
