That car is on the importers web site If it's going to be a new one then not long to get one: "CLASSIC NIVA PRODUCTION ENDS 31.12.2023 BUY NOW FROM £11,995+VAT* Final editions available now from the UK's most established new Lada specialist Imports had been stifled due to loss of EU type approval since 2016 but post Brexit a project to bring the car back to the UK is complete. Come and try our demonstrator." Not sure who is going to perform the "decent 2 year warranty" though I remember them from years ago, mainly for the rust in odd areas, like the bonnet. I still would though. EDIT just found this: Self registered cars must be presented for type approval and registered by the customer. Warranty waiver on sale required. Warranty can be purchased for £420+vat when car is granted a registration number and within 3 months of purchase and less than 1,500 miles.

Here’s a taster, although the bloke at the wheel is one of the factory racing drivers, your skill level may not match 😀 This is the best thing on the whole of the internet. Without exception. I have watched it so many times I find myself whistling the main tune at work. Internally anyway, I'm not one of those postmen from the 1950s that goes round happily whistling. If you can't spare 12 minutes of your life, go to about 10.20. Many car ads in recent years have done similar things with CGI (Nissan Squashy springs to mind) but nobody has ever done this with the real thing. I also find it slightly ironic that they make this fancy publicity film (it's more than an advert) and yet in reality you couldn't buy one. They were generally just issued to various Communist Party hierarchy. And I love all the vivid colours in the showroom when 99 percent of them were black. I urge you to watch this, it will change your life.

Very "big band" 1950s music - the sort of thing you'd hear at evening concerts. Amusing that the Communists sanctioned music that was unmistakably American in feel. eddyramrod, motorpunk and Yoss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I urge you to watch this, it will change your life. If nothing else, you'll have that tune stuck in your head for evermore. As I mentioned, the bloke at the wheel can drive a bit, he was Jaroslav Pavelka, the factory racing driver. Factory racing driver? The Tatra is clearly no Lotus 7 but there are events where the emphasis is other than 0-60 time. We all know that the 24 hours of LeMans is a gruelling race, but in the 1960s Tatra did well in the 84 hours at the Nurburgring. Yes, that Nurburgring where doing 3 laps without killing yourself is a major achievement. We see most of the cars in black now, but in racing events they had brighter colours, here you can see the different positions of the racing stripe so the teams can easily tell the cars apart The car in the top photo is an early one (603-1) with 3 headlamps behind a clear cover. The ones above are 603-2 with 4 narrow headlamps and the 603-3 had them set wider apart. Most 603s have the wider front as cars were regularly returned to the factory and upgraded to the later spec. My 603 was built in 1964 but was taken back to the factory in 1971 and given the wider front end, however it kept the brakes as original and the electrics too, it really was pot luck what was done to each car SteersWithThrottle, Vantman, Asimo and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
