pandamonium Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Lada Classic like this...or thisor this Or a Riva 1300/1600 SLX like this ... I'd also be interested in a FSO 125P or even a Polonez! Anyone have anything? I'd ideally like it to be MOT'd if poss. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm suddenly drawn to that top-spec Riva Saw a tidy N-reg Samara saloon the other day, old boy looked like he'd probably had it from new. Very few Ladas of any type hereabouts nowadays.Good luck with the hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 The 1600 SLX had a spoiler - to use as a handle when pushing it! I took my first driving lesson in one and I have fond memories of my dad squeezing 100mph out of it too! (private road of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hey, didn't you used to have a perfectly good Riva wagon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Nah, some idiot had chopped the springs - plus it was a povo-spec model.What I'm looking for here is the holy grail of soviet shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Were the chopped springs too much of a compromise?I don't really understand the point of the whole 'slammed' thing, at least for cars you have to use every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Lets just say - I had to plan every journey in advance so as to avoid speedbumps, potholes and moderate hills! This time I want to keep the suspension standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm told there's a Riva on the bay at the moment, somewhere near Stoke/Midlands way if I heard correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicsmith Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Lets just say - I had to plan every journey in advance so as to avoid speedbumps, potholes and moderate hills! This time I want to keep the suspension standard.So what happened to it? Surely the spring cutting thing wasn`t irreversible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
