A dip into the past. Lada content and vaguely Proton.

Before I purchase a 3 series auto estate...a small delve into the archives.

 

 

 

Q plated (previously written off) and built out of parts.

Honda MBX bikini fairing and headlamp, one-off PowerMicrons, Micron dropped bars, 275cc/TS 125x pistons milled down to fit, 2mm base plate and milled barrels etc etc.

Mum's CD175 - sold and replaced with my old X7 (above). My mum the hooligan.

 

Bought with a knocking big-end due to po failing to refill it with oil after a service. Rebuilt 2nd hand crank and a new chain = win.

Cossack ftw (remember them?). Lakeside Motors demo - some training course with Graham Hill (not that one, the Lada one.) It was how to align the transfer box correctly to the body/output shaft of gearbox. Yes, they are separate .

Ah. Now then.

 

A genuine Lada Challenge car. 

 

Seamed shell, polycarb windows, Spax all round, Janspeed, twin 40 Dellortos, non-vac dizzy, Cam, oil cooler, 4 speed modded box, 1200 diff, 1600 block decked etc, welded in roll cage,tank moved, rear mounted battery, regulation 2 cut-outs, plumbed in Halon, bash plates galore, nav trip, lamps, footplate etc etc.

My brothers early Mk2. Obviously worth a fortune if he'd still got it etc etc

These are most of the workshop people that bought Proton™ to you. 

 

I'm one of them. Guess.

Cool! Love the motors. And a pic if you with hair! Also, now the Proton enthusiasm makes sense (and why there are Proton mats in the Fronteras boot)

 

Lada looked to have been a local Worcestershire car then judging by its "WP" reg. One of my Sterlings is a Worcestershire "WP" reg'd car.

Lakeside Motors, Redditch 

 

9,700 - odd miles on clock then. From new. !
