So I bought a Lada 2105 .....sort of.

[El Presidente]

Cuba crawls on the back of Lada.  It is the workhorse of the people. The flash 56 Dodge may get the photos .....but the Lada gets them around....most of the time 

Since my return I have been looking for a Lada 2105 but much to my disappointment I can't find one. Aussie lads if you can source one in this country, let me know!

I told Armando I would pick one up and prep it like his. No air, 1 hubcap and arrange for someone to steal the stereo. 

Anyway, in my searches I came across this on Aussie ebay. It was meant to be. I will present it to Armando as FOH preferred driver ( ) when we catch up next. 

So I am the temporary owner of a Lada 2105.  

Look at those lines......Gorgeous 

Again.....Aussie lads if you come across a life size model, let me know.

Bwaaaaahhhaaaahhhaaaahhaaa!

...which is why I said for your family to find you one for Christmas! They wont be able to and thus no need to buy you a present. (but they dont know it)  

[Fuzz]

Rob, I've been searching for one for you since I got back. Bloody difficult to find a 2105. I can easily get you a Lada Niva, but not a 2105, let alone one from 1986.

I reckon the easiest part of this plan will be to arrange to have the stereo stolen

Rob, I'm your man for the sound system mods. Electrician and cockney. I'll be on it like a fat kid on a cupcake

Muzz, please, I was always going to take both. Who leaves a cupcake behind? You've stood next to me, does it look like I'd leave a cake?

Come to Finland. We still have some of those old russian cars. Not many, but you can easily buy one IF you really want. I can´t understand why anyone would like to do so but if you come here I can help you.

Here is one:

Rob is specifically after a 1986 Lada 2105.

[BMWBen]

It doesn't look like the Lada Riva (2105) was ever imported into Australia, Your best bet may be to find a private collector (if there is such thing for ladas..) who enjoys cigars 

[Homer]

This is close but not the same model.

This is the right model but from 1988.

... at least the Lada does not land on its side when you are drunk doing 'doughnuts' on the lawn!

Would you paint it up with the old Soviet flag?

Top 10 Lada jokes. But I have my own. Better Nada than Lada!!!

Cracker idea on the paint Job!

I'll keep an eye out.  But I did find the 2105 is more capable than people give it credit for:

Great vid 

Armando is a superb driver. No stereo or air really lightens the car up.

This one could use some work... we took it to the airport in Veradero.
