Hi ever body, I have been researched the Lada Niva and have come to the concluded, as many of you, that is a special car for a special type of person.
Therefore I request that if there is anybody on the forum that has a Lada that they want to part with, that they contact me.
My cell is 0836540636 or email fishbone@lavabit.com

Welcome Fishbone - you could also try www.autotrader.co.za to try and find a Lada. If you like working on your own cars, a Lada will suit you perfectly. I guess the "carby" models are easier to work on, and probably "less problematic" than fuel injection models. I stand to be corrected in this regard though. Watch out for rust spots, as well as a faulty fith gear. Danie

Sorry have been busy the last months. Got one last year 2002 carb model. Was in very good condition with 97000km on the clock. Busy with major refit will be better than new when I am done. Trying to keep it original with miner tweaks for improved operation in Moz were I will be deployed most of the time.
;D

Please keep us posted about the refit, etc. - pics will be very interesting.
And if possible, please send us some pics when you find yourself in Moz.
