Title: 1983 lada combi so neat ??
Post by: italianxrays on October 30, 2008, 07:17:07 PM
So neat & so much car for your money much better value than a rusty old 131 sport, insert a T/C motor & away you go. I think early Lada's are a potential future classic but where have they all gone ?
I like the ref to Fiat 131 ?? and how they can look...............

This was at A.I. Brooklands back in May, it looked pretty tidy....including the roofrack.

I get the same kinda feeling when I see a Fulvia saloon, my dad had one when I was  6 yrs old......... thats now 31 years ago....still remember the dash and the smell.
Dad says it was a light blue colour....I remember it being light grey...alas no photos. :(

The Lancia is a comfy and ultra reliable car to drive and it takes not too much fuel.
This car was way back in 1995 in a dutch magazine. Some people then also named it a Lada, but have a closer look at the roofline, I see Silver Shadow in that, both nice cars
