    Think the steering wheel lock is a little misguided.

    Perhaps someone who's been lobotomised might think it a good buy.

    We take these things as a joke, but over in Eastern Europe that would be worth several grand!

    Best bit for me was the fact he says it has been sat in a grage for 10 years and that "it ran fine when it was driven in to the garage".

    Sounds promising then :lol:

    It'll need bloody all sorts doing not least every rubber hose replacing and no doubt hydraulic seals and that'll just be for starters, probably cost another £1000 to get it road worthy

    I had a load of fun with one of these back in the '90s, including a class win in the Scottish Tarmac Rally Championship. They are virtually indestuctible. Still wouldn't pay £1K for a standard one, though!

    On a related note, a few years ago I was looking out a hotel window in Kiev and saw one of these Zhiguli estates fishtailing into the kerb and then barrel-rolling several times. It was like watching a film LOL :lol:

    (the folks got out ok, they were probably drunk!)

    The steering lock has more value than what its bolted to!

    A nice low mileage example, only 2509 miles on the clock, I wonder how many times it has been round.

    It's just a matter of time...
