(I just want to see someone on here buy a new Nivia, or UAZ 452 or 469 LOL) From what I've seen by the crowd importing these, it doesn't go by pre-2001 tax rates and these are (somehow) ULEZ compliant. I think though that if you're going through these people is that you have to do the whole type approval thingymabob yourself (they'll help you of course). So you need to fit the fogs and do all the other stuff to get DVSA approval. That said, for £13,000 you can't go wrong. Although you can, as these Niva's are end of life and use thinner steel than the older ones. Which I still want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Jude Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Rust Removal with... Salt & Vinegar. I had watched Edd China's video on restoring his fuel tank, he tried vinegar on it's own and it didn't seem to do anything. I had did it before on the Corolla using salt & vinegar and it worked wonders. So I made a video about it. You might find it interesting with your tank @Remspoor!

JeeExEll Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 What's the modern equivalent to this? Sadly I don't think there is one. The rather basic 1972-75 Consul 3000GT / Granada 3000S were similar concepts. Ford missed a trick there by not offering a Mk2 1600E or 1600GT with twin 40 side-draught Webers from new, (although many would have been converted later in the 70s).

The tank is back in coated with that paint waiting for some petrol. I have photos of the last bit but I have not got around from downloading them from the phone. Off to watch the video to see how you get on. St.Jude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Dumb and dumber at a Russian car meet in Los Angeles. They know nothing and get distracted by other cars. Interestingly there is a "new" Niva/ 2121 at the meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 A summary of a Frenchman purchasing and putting back on the road a Aston Martin DB7 V12. Turn the subtitles on. There is not talking but these explain what is happening The playlist of this adventure is made up with 17 videos. Episode 5 he goes to the UK to pick up an engine. The engines was being sold by a car collector/garage owner. Evidently this guy never sells cars to collectors Yer pull the other one it has bells on. This series is subtitled, but English is on auto translate. Leyland Worldmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
