Something tells me it can be a Zhiguli - the badge looks more monochromatic. Lada had black/silver. |

What's the difference between Lada and Shiguli? I remember, that in the DDR it was normally a Lada, but called Shiguli, when it was a car in official use. In West-Germany it was always Lada. Ah, annother detail: in the West the little "Lada"-badge on the C-pillar was in Latin letters, in the DDR I've seen them in Cyrillic writing. But the other version, too.  |

Production of 2103 started in 1972, full in 1973, from this angle not possible to say which one it is. It depends on years. In the very early years of VAZ cars (somwhere to the mid-70's), same like in SU, in all Eastern Block countries the name was Zhiguli. Later, when Soviets started to export these cars also to the Western Europe, they gave them make Lada (and they became Ladas also in most of the Eastern Block countries). Cars which you saw in DDR where or from the early series or in some special versions prepared in USSR and unavailable for the ordinary people. In COMECON Soviet cars usually had cyryllic badges, but Ladas had rather Latin ones, at least the rear one (the one at the C-pillar I didn't notice), but maybe it also depends on country. Generally for sure there were also an exceptions and a bit of traditional market mess. -- Last edit: 2011-04-20 15:02:50 |

The first Zhigulis imported into the UK in 1974 were badged as such, in Cyrillic (Жигули) on the boot-lid. As Michał says, when they were exported in greater numbers to Western Europe, they became Ladas. |
