That is truly hideous but it is surprising it's still on the road. I reckon the lights alone would write off the electrical system if you turned them all on at once.

Mate of mine bought a Reliant Robin for his wife as a present once. He was joking, of course. He had a 1967 Landy round the corner as backup.

He's now divorced.  ;D

I used to race bangers @ Angmering in sussex, & ladas despite getting spun out in races cos they were slow & did'nt handle actually did really well in the DD cos no matter what you did to them they'd still limp along all bent up, overheating etc. but the f*****s were tough as old boots, especially the pre Riva shape estates.
     Sorry, just boring you all with a little nostalgia, but even Ladas have thier uses!! ;D ;D ;D
