Hello, I'm not sure if this car is still where it is but it would be worth a try.

It's a 1991 Lada Riva, 1300 I think. It looks a bit of a mess from the photo & I'm not sure it's a runner so you'll have to check. One of its sun visors was being auctioned on eBay so I contacted the seller about & a few other things off it. The car is in a scrapyard in Hall Green, West Midlands B28 0SE, UK. This is the ad:

The detaila are all on there, happy hunting! I didn't get a reply from the email address.

There is a Riva saloon advertised in the back of this week's Practical Classics Magazine. It's described as immaculate. £500 ono.

Sorry I don't have anymore details. Nip into WHSmiths and look up the number.

Ah, sorry about that

Like I said it may be worth keeping on the backburner, you never know why they're breaking it. Alot of people still think there's no 'market' for Ladas & so scrap them. I'd give them a ring rather than email & find out, like I said I never got an email response from them...

Good Luck with your search though, it'll be worth it in the end

Regards

Clare

The Lada on the Isle Of Wight was good but sold before I could press the buy it now button, im gutted.
Ideally I'd like a saloon although that doesnt rule estates out.
Anybody selling??????

There is an Estate for sale, now, on this forum. Look under car sales.

It's in Worcester.

There is also this, advertised on RetroRides:

I have been looking all over, the white estate was a bit of a risk before knowing what the underside is like, I just hope I can find a good Lada very soon.

Update: Im still looking, a 1.3 Riva would be ace if i could find one.
Cash waiting for the right car / price,
Thanks

I had a look at one yesterday which was quite far from me and was really a waste of journey. It had been fillered up, water was coming out of the radiator cap, and it was overall quite bad, not a polite seller either may i add.

Sorry you're not having much luck

I ended up going on the train to Shropshire to buy my Riva, a long way to look at a car, but I was lucky that it was owned my someone on here.

Where are you based? Have you tried asking the Lada Owners Club?

Regards
