It wasn't this one it was from paddock I think

The one I was looking at was specifically to make the 200tdi and earlier simular to the lighter 300tdi

All the plastic trim was originally a UK importer fit item thatvif my information in correct then was taken up back in the motherland as they liked it, the original UK 1.6i came in basic Husser trim amd then the pladtic clad Cossack trim ib the latter they gave you a ciggy lighter socket too! My mate Paul's started rusting under the plastic while still under warranty! Mentally good off road though! I had p and n reg ones, my minter was a late Cossack, never actually drive that one though as sold it before I got around to fixing the starter motor. Nearly brought an 03 just back

When Alan Bird (Scotlands Mr, Lada) retired there was a guy teying to bring them into the UK but only in LHD someone told me a couple of years ago they still can bring in them but not as new cars and in the £1000s so no market, used to love my little Ladas but in reality they were **** when not off roading! Horrible on road. Near me there is an undulating 40mph road my 30th old landy takes with a rattle, in the Lada anything over 30pmh made me feel sick, even in the 1.7i it struggled with even a humpback bridge 😄 Forget towing! Snow was fine but hit muddy water in anything above -1 a
