But the Ladas do have a middle differential with locking so they are permanent 4x4. I would love to have this type of gearbox in my Jimny.

When I was a teen a friend had a lada samara 'flyte' edition.

It had the lot. Bodykit, alloys. 1.5L roudy exhaust.

I wanted that car.

However as I got older I've become more discerning and the jimny will do me fine.

l have to say, that for the £17,000 that Lada costs, you could get a very nice Defender SWB TD5

The Land Rover may require more day to day maintenance and "love" but it will be a better investment financially.

Unless you live in a city with a "clean air zone" where the old diesel engine will fall foul of the regulations.

Somehow that jogged my memory, the tarted up white 90s Niva was called a Cossack.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I seem to recall the niva cossack had different colour bumpers from the standard spec.

I don't think I ever saw one in the wild though.
