3 years ago, a classic car enthusiast discovered this Lada 2101 in our country. It was manufactured in 1978 and was in very good condition, only 19,000 km on board. He immediately bought this car, and from then until today it has undergone a thorough restoration.
Why restore a car that still looked good, many might ask? To ensure its longevity and further, and the answer in this case. The body was analyzed in detail and, except for a few vulnerabilities, it was in perfect condition, with the perfect original paint on it. So the decision was made not to repaint the car, but to subject only those vulnerable places to processing, then treating only those areas with the original paint, without removing the original paint from the rest of the body. It was then decided to cover with a layer of “glaze”. ceramic, for even more advanced protection.
The task was as clear as possible: to keep as much of the originality as possible, and everything that is done must be made absolutely authentic, as it was from the factory. Did the car end up in the hands of the Moldavian Ion Pavalachi for restoration ?? a young man in his eyes flashes his passion for classic, Soviet and Western cars. He is the young man who restored his Renault 5, which we were talking about in the summer, and he also has a few reconditioned Soviet cars with his own hands. This Lada 2101, however, was preparing for a friend of his, who would now take it to Germany, where he was settled.
At this time, work was done not only on the body, but also on the interior, and the mechanical part. The engine under the hood is a 1.2 liter, being the original. He did not need repairs, but only his resuscitation, with new gaskets and everything that can lose its airtight qualities over time.
The passenger compartment is in a formidable condition, appearing to belong to a new car. The dashboard, the inserts, all the elements through absolutely untouched by the weather. And, above all, they are all authentic and original.
In fact, this car seems somehow incredibly unobtrusive, precisely because it did not exaggerate with its aesthetic appearance, but kept its original, non-metallic shade. But on closer inspection, you notice all the chrome elements in impeccable condition and you realize that, in fact, this is the great value of this car – authenticity that you rarely or even find in our days as Lada copies. classic. . And authenticity already costs much more for such collectible cars.
So now this Lada 2101 from Moldova is leaving for Germany, to a compatriot of ours settled there, who is looking forward to it and who will save it from time to time on the roads of Germany, in the other days rejoicing that I have a jewel dear to my soul in the garage.
