i just pulled these photos from my gallery, havent had a chance to take proper pictures yet - if theres interest i'll get a walkaround video and photos as well

1982 VAZ 2106 (referred to away from home as a LADA 1600 if I'm not mistaken) reluctantly for sale, lots to know about it:

Made in USSR, LHD 1.6 Carburetted 4spd Manual, 5 seater (with 4 seatbelts) VAZ 2106, ULEZ, Road Tax and MOT Exempt (about £5k in savings if you drive into the ULEZ zone every day for a year), id say this is one of the cleanest examples in the uk, definitely the cleanest one for sale right now

I bought, restored (I have photos of the car along the way, right from the beginning), drove back from Belarus solo, and imported it (i have the V5C and plates for it now) into the UK myself, selling due to getting shafted by insurance companies (my details are an insurers wet dream lol), list of repairs are as follows (if item is marked as "New OEM" - that component/s was made in the USSR, as opposed to being made in Russia recently):

Work done includes:

Reupholstering of seats

Repaint of car in same colour code

Repaint of wheels (it was cheaper to buy new ones, but these stock ones allow you to mount the hubcaps without any drilling/fittings, so i decided to repaint these instead)

Tow hitch has been rewired, haven't connected a trailer but fully working according to my multimeter

Parcel shelf has been reupholstered as well

Door cards reupholstered to match seats

Doors have been waterproofed to prevent leaks into interior

Carburettor has been removed from the car and cleaned

The whole underside (and some of the inside of the car) has been rustproofed by the previous owner

All electrical work has been done by me, with the intention of keeping the car for myself for years to come - there wont be any issues there, I can tell you that for sure

Cam rockers have been gapped

cant remember if there was anything else done, best to come to see it person, ill be able to just point at everything thats been done lol

Car is rust free (there was a bit of rust, but its been removed and patched before painting)

Was owned by a doctor prior to me buying it, garage kept and only driven to the dacha during summer

All the bodywork is original, and the car wasnt painted before I had it resprayed

the car is a constant head turner (both in europe and the UK), will be very sad to see it go

ive got several cardboard boxes worth of bits n bobs, if you dont waste my time i might throw them in with the car

£15k, but i'll consider reasonable offers
