Eugene,

From this Lada I made this pictures. I saw this white Lada and a red car. Niva's I didn't see and sorry I didn't ask about them. Besides this I saw a genuine Fiat 124 Familiare, a Seat 124, a Fiat 125, Polski Fiat 125, FSO 125P Pick up and FSO 125P.
I hope you enjoy!!

Well Albert,a very very big thank you for taking the time to take the photos of Fiat's very close relatives.
The white Lada has a piece of important history attached to it as it was in East Germany(DDR).That model are collecters items.
When i travel to Russia&Ukraine,i see a few of that model.Recently in Limerick a blue one (origainally from Poland) 1979 sold for  4000 euros.
I think Albert,you have a weakiness like myself for Soviet era cars ,but having said that many people come talking to me whenever i park my Lada Niva in public.
So these Soviet era cars do appeal to people. .If i had a new Beamer or Merc,people would say to themselves,that guy must be rotten with money and continue walking .Thanks again Albert for sharing the nice pictures.Very much appreciated.Eugene

I know these Lada's are collectors items nowadays. Last year I saw a brilliant example in the Czech republic, white, with a very proud owner.

Yes indeed, I like cars from the countries behind the iron curtain, or eastblock. I have to tell that my girlfriend hates these term, she is from poland because it is not east BUT central europe. Ok, anybody knows where is the absolute middlepoint of europe?? About cars again, yes I like Volga's, Moskvitches, Trabant, Wartburg, Polski Fiat, Skoda etc. I even own a Syrena and a Tatra!
