Title: Lada or Fiat
Post by: kev131 on December 27, 2009, 08:33:29 PM
I'm just back from 3 days in Cornwall and this car been parked in the "garden" of the house next to my mother in law for in excess of 20 years. Every time I see it I think.... cool Fiat 124 estate.... but it's actually the Lada version.

The salt air is doing it's worst...The house is all boarded up and I don't think anyone cares about the property any more.

Looks as though some nice scenery from that place in Cornwall.Not so much to take from that car except the glass :-\.First job would be to cut the briars both inside and outside.Thanks for the photos Kev. ;).Eugene

i think those door handles are the same as on mk1 131
there's still lots of usefull pieces on that car apart from bodywork. good for someone with old lada 1200 or fiat 124
