If this isn't your taste - reach to me via my website - details above, as we can source all sorts of vehicles. In addition, UK buyers receive free DVLA registration. Embrace the chance to own a classic that hails from an era when Lada's robust charm was all the rage in the UK. This vibrant Orange Lada 2101 is a testament to well-preserved automotive history, boasting just 56, 286 miles on the clock. It comes from a single Lithuanian owner lineage (I am the only UK owner), having been meticulously cared for and kept in a heated garage. Prospective buyers are advised to view the car to fully appreciate its condition.
The first Ladas arrived in Hull in 1974 and over the following 16 years another 300, 000 cars and spare parts would come through Hull docks. Cab drivers in particular loved them for their spacious interiors, huge boots and low cost to put on the road. Bizarrely, Ladas were also at the centre of a short-lived, but lucrative export market, which saw them loaded into ships and taken back to Russia. At one point, up to eight ships a month arrived in Hull loaded with Ladas, which had made the 2, 400-mile journey from the world’s largest car factory at Togliatti, on the banks of the Volga. From Hull they were taken by transporter to the Carnaby Industrial Estate, near Bridlington, where between 100 and 200 cars a day were de-waxed and modified to suit the UK market.
