I bought the LADA from a Film Production Company in Pinewood Studios (Nov2019)
They had wrapped it in grey vinyl and put Hungarian plates on it...
Overview:
This is a serious piece of off-road kit
It's also fun and easy to drive around town.
LHD isn't a problem; it has excellent visibility and with power steering it's easy to park.
It is even more economical now it has the 2WD selector upgrade
It's half a ton lighter than a Defender90 that's why it was more agile than the Top Gear Nissan Pathfinder camera car and the 'Fifth Gear' TV Programme's Landrover Discovery support vehicle.
It's classic shape is only in production until 2023
Yes, it does draw more attention than a Ferrari as one reviewer put it

Points to note:
Speedo not working, power steering hoses need changing at some point; (brand new set of hoses included in sale). Heater selector needs attention; (new uprated heater included in the sale). New rear wiper motor but arm needs adjustment. Grey vinyl wrap: minor areas missed by film company; one interior section below rear passenger window and also not 'wrapped' under-bonnet. There are a couple of minor dings but very minor only. There are minor areas of surface rust visible on the floor-pan and minor blemishes under the wrap on the lower body but these are only minor. It would benefit from waxoyling but you can see it as it is, all in original sound condition; never been welded and does not need welding. It is appears to have seen little off-road action and I have not got round to any off-road adventures.
