Cars, Oysters and Champagne

 Cars, oysters and champagne... after a long hiatus chanced upon another car show here in Moscow on April 22, 2023, and so here is a photo dump

 It was something of a cars and coffee meet but specifically for low cars aka lowered.

 

 

So went to this place called Hlebozavod 9 and found a party there so joined in.

Lada VAZ-2102 Storage Unit Edition

Here is another Lada VAZ-2102 spotted recently here in Moscow which is going to be the No. 3 Lada VAZ-2102 on this blog.

The Lada VAZ-2102 is the estate version of the Lada VAZ-2101 and also known as "Combi" or "Universal" (in Russia). In 1985 it was succeeded by the Lada VAZ-2104.

I think this one is an 1980s version. Too bad I didn't manage to shoot the back, maybe next time.

In this case it appears to be serving as a stationary storage unit next to some market here in Moscow not far from one of my residences actually.

A Lada 2102 is in this TV commercial spot (?)

And as per usual for this blog here are some promo photos of the Lada VAZ-2102 of the yesteryear borrowed from the Internet.

Look at all the crates that you can get into it!

Here is a two-tone (paint scheme not original) Lada VAZ-2102 spotted last summer.

1970-87 Lada Cars

Another intermission by way of a car-related post from my other blog, VreMax.

Lada cars of the 1970-1987 period. Continuing verbatim. 

Another car show at Moscow's VDNKh -- Cars of Our Back Yard -- USSR cars.

Not the first car-themed show I saw at the location -- in August last year we saw Car Industry of the USSR.

But that time I was lazy to make too many photos. This time however I made over 200!

So it is in parts.

Part 1 - the Moskvitch -- is here -- Part 1 Moskvitch Cars.

Part 2 -- ZAZ cars -- is here -- Part 2 Zaporozhets Cars.

Part 3 -- Moto -- is here -- Old Russian Motorcycles, Mopeds, etc. 

And now - Part 4 - Lada cars (not all of them).

1975 VAZ-2106 (Lada 1600), a Deluxe version and a development of the VAZ-2103 (see below)

1970 VAZ-2101, the first Lada model.

It is supposed to be the VAZ-2101 but certain things aren't right. I guess it is as close as they could come to a complete VAZ-2001.
