There's still a few around. I recall seeing a Lada Niva (or is it Riva? ...the saloon version) for sale on donedeal or adverts within the last year. Keep searching!:)

I saw a white Niva on Ukrainian plates in Ballyphehane (outside motor factors) like two years ago. No idea where it is now.

A Gaz or ZIL (can be got new for a pile of money) would be awesome too. Solid cars all despite the jokes.
