A bit of an editor spends the evening behind the internet looking for special cars. Usually the search criteria are the same, but sometimes, very occasionally, you enter an 'wrong' brand. And so I came across this Lada.
Yellow ocher unilak, no right exterior mirror and only 20.000 km driven. It's too good to be true. Who oh who put his Lada in the shed after twenty thousand kilometers and didn't look at it anymore? For us enthusiasts, this is good news of course, because that way we can also enjoy an 'immaculate' Lada 1200, the block box that couldn't be beat at the time.
Mint condition, states the provider. I did not discover an option list in the announcement, but that has everything to do with the standard equipment of this car. Power steering? No, it is not. A tachometer? Utopia, sir. Central locking? In your dreams. But it is nice, this Russian middle class. To put away and cherish, as a silent witness to a decade full of rarities.
