Vertical taillights and low loading tailgate: a 1994+ model. If I'm not mistaken, having Niva as model name narrows the model year range to 1994-2005? Anyway, without 1.7i on the hatchback, so most probably a standard [21213]. ![[Image: hootenandthelady-1x06-01208-ladaniva.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/hootenandthelady-1x06-01208-ladaniva.jpg) (0:12:08) For once, it appears that the episode was really shot where the action is supposed to take place, i.e. in Russia. But if really a Russian Niva, shouldn't it use Cyrillic letters for the make and model name? _____ For the record, I use IMCDb's dates (which don't seem to be sourced), as, depending on the sources, the 1st facelift took place in 1993 (en, ru, it), 1994 (es, fi), 1995 (de, nl) or 1996 (fr). Same mess is present in the "non-WP" sites I found. |

It could have been imported used from an export market. |

It's a ex-RHD. |

With @eLMeR's links at hand and @slon95's comment it seems like a (former) RHD [21216] then? |

@slon95: What detail shows it? And above all, can really one think about such conversion on such a car? I mean, Ladas are not Bentleys, is it really financially sensible to make it? The inside: ![[Image: hootenandthelady-1x06-00723-ladaniva.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/hootenandthelady-1x06-00723-ladaniva.jpg) ![[Image: hootenandthelady-1x06-01625-ladaniva.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/hootenandthelady-1x06-01625-ladaniva.jpg) ![[Image: hootenandthelady-1x06-01708-ladaniva.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/hootenandthelady-1x06-01708-ladaniva.jpg) (0:07:23 // 0:16:25 // 0:17:08) -- Last edit: 2017-08-18 03:33:42 |

The wipers are wrong for an LHD car (unless there was a change in production). In theory, any parts that could not be moved would be easily available. While the Bentley would be an investment, the Lada could be just a cheap fix |

Probably ex-UK, our Lada population disappeared very quickly, too quick for normal scrappage, dealers in the Humberside area were actively buying anything they could get their hands on for re-export back to the former Soviet Union. A couple of weekends work for a handy lad with a bag of spanners to swap the rack & dashboard over. |

Any shots of the front of the Niva (with wipers) in a definitely real Russian location? -- Last edit: 2017-08-18 13:24:30 |

@ Gag Halfrunt:![[Image: hootenandthelady-1x06-00639-ladaniva.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/hootenandthelady-1x06-00639-ladaniva.jpg) ![[Image: hootenandthelady-1x06-00718-ladaniva.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/hootenandthelady-1x06-00718-ladaniva.jpg) (0:06:39 // 0:07:18) I think I exhausted all the possibilities to get "urban" screenshots of the car (but no wipers, sorry) .gif ";)") Let's give it the 21216 model code, as suggested by tore-40. -- Last edit: 2017-08-28 00:14:24 |

Thanks. It appears that Russian stop signs read "STOP" in English, so the second thumbnail witha stop sign written in Russian might be a fake location. The sign is also on the wrong side of the road for Russia. .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2017-08-30 15:19:53 |

Yep, fake. And what is this super-mysterious sign on the left (such actually put at the entrance to villages and small towns, with their name) with the inscription "red planet"? |

And I've ust realised something else. There are definitely two different cars, because the rear wheel arch is rusty in the main picture but smooth in the thumbnail. So one car for the real Moscow location and another for South Africa, which was converted from RHD to LHD. And one of them was repainted to match the other. |

On the main pic and on the thumbs - 1999+ version without quarter glass. |
