Comments from the seller
Lada 2101 / VAZ 2101 / Zhiguli – Beautifully Restored | Rare Personal Import.
A beautifully restored and exceptionally well-presented example of the iconic Lada 2101, personally imported and maintained with care.
This is a genuine piece of motoring history, offering simplicity, character and mechanical charm in a condition that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The car is mechanically sound, presents beautifully and is ready to be enjoyed. Nothing to spend – simply get in and drive.
A rare opportunity to own what is believed to be the only Lada 2101 of its kind currently in Australia.
● Mechanical & Maintenance:
- Original engine – approximately 5,000 km since rebuild.
- Full stainless-steel exhaust system.
- New clutch.
- New timing belt.
- New brake pads.
- Recently serviced.
- Red Top Optima 800CCA battery.
- Smooth-shifting manual gearbox.
- Starts easily, idles well and revs freely, with no smoke or unusual engine noises.
●Exterior & Interior:
- Beautifully restored presentation.
- Rust-free body, with only a couple of minor cosmetic touch-ups from stone chips and door-edge wear.
- Original interior in immaculate condition.
- Fiat 124 Venetian blinds.
- Ceramic-coated paintwork.
- Overall, an exceptionally tidy and well-preserved example.
●Additional Inclusions:
The sale will also include a selection of new service and maintenance items for future use, including filters and suspension bushes.
Replacement parts remain readily available through European suppliers. I'm happy to share my trusted parts sources with the successful buyer, so maintaining and enjoying this car well into the future should not be a concern.
●Registration:
Currently on NSW Historic Vehicle Club registration, which is not transferable to the new owner under the applicable registration scheme.
The new owner will need to arrange membership with their own eligible historic vehicle club or obtain standard full registration.
●Ownership & Reason for Sale:
I've owned the car since 2021 and have driven it fewer than ten times during my ownership. It is generally taken out only two or three times a year.
As much as I've enjoyed owning it, I'd rather see it go to someone who will appreciate it, drive it and enjoy it properly.
Walk-around videos, as well as cold-start and running videos, are available upon request.
Please, genuine enquiries only. This is not a forced sale, and I'm in no rush to let it go. I'm happy to answer any reasonable questions from genuinely interested buyers.
