    The Lada Niva is now one of the most popular hunting rigs in Germany .
    It's improved a heck of alot since the 80s machines fresh out of the ailing Soviet empire hit Europe. Trim is now on par with any std Jap car,as is wiring and all the rest.OK you still hear every nut and cog working past 60 mph:P, but it is now ASFIK the only still separate body and chassis machine out there that you don't have to sell your wife and daughters into prostitution and part with your kidney and to meet the monthly payments on it.
    They are still fixable with a socket set,a rock,a hammer ,a bigger hammer and a bottle of vodka.:)

    2 seats only from the dealer,so they qualify as commercial tax straight off in Germany. As hunting is classified as a commercial enterprise there as well...15 K ...How bad?

    Very surprised that they allowed to import them into the EU anymore with emissions and all that rubbish now.

    Ah Grizzly, you’re reminiscing about the days when a G300TD was basically a Puch G and the only difference with the mil spec one was the seats and the paint job.
    .
    Talk to me about it... I had one, an old 1984 5 door here for a couple of years,t
    Was a great machine, until it got sideswiped by a cement truck.:eek:
    THEN you get to know the joys of the silver star in getting parts and replacement bits. You get to be on 1st name terms with your credit union and bank manager real quick with one of those puppies.

    No wonder only rock stars or young black gentlemen or of Russian nationality involved in the narcotics trade can afford them these days.:rolleyes:

    Nah,they have cleaned up their act immensely. Nothing like the Soviet-era stuff that we know. They don't even rust out after the 1st shower of rain anymore either.:P Drove one Germany 2 years ago and I'd rate it on par with a basic model economy Toyota of mid 90s vintage for fit and fittings and ergonomics.

    EDIT Sort of "crap brand that are good nowadays" related to this thread.

    That is really, really nice. I mean REALLY.


    Thats not that bad. Anschutz start at €1,500+. I love the action. Looks more "professional".

    Did you have to import or are RFDs stocking them?

    Can be imported in a few days, don't. think mine is in the country yet. There are some in the dealers.
    I was holding the 457 LRP and liking it a lot, great trigger on them now.

    A Lada Niva 4wd.....

    Back in the day I knew head game keeper on a big pheasant shoot here and he swore by the Lada. It went places Landies, Toyotas and other big money tickets couldn't go.

    In more recent years I was invited on a driven boar hunting weekend. The syndicate had a few of these wee beasties down at thier hunting lodge. These things went through rivers, over mountain roads and open ground like they were in a supermarket car park. At one stage as we were crossing a rather wide river the foot wells were filling up, the little car kept going and out through the other side.

    I'd love one.

    Speaking of Lada. Back in the 80’s Skoda was in the same bucket as Lada. Look at them now.

    Absolutely, although not without a BIG hand from Volkswagen.
