This one is a regular barn find: an original 1985 Niva Savanne. There is a lot of work to be done, but rust damage is not that severe. It needs new front wings, a new radiator cowling panel and new sills. Other then that it's not that bad. Ofcourse the ugly covers on the rear will have to go The engine is not stuck, but i didn't hear it run. I don't care, these old 1600's are bullet proof. The soft top is there, it's torn, but at least it's there We will put it in storage for 2 years or so and then start the restauration. i ask myself: what the hell is he thinking? ;D we want to restore it to its original glory and have some summer time fun with it: Niva savanne on Google

No, it was put in later. Luckely it's not welded or boltet yet. The previous owner bought it a few years ago and wanted to use it for offroad trials. Luckely it never came to that
