A rare 1979 VAZ-2103 is up for sale in Tambov, with a price tag reaching two million rubles — a truly impressive sum. A distinctive feature of the car is its interior, finished in brown leatherette. Technical specifications include a 1.3-liter engine with 69 horsepower and a 4-speed manual transmission. According to the odometer, the car has a very low mileage of only 13,437 kilometers.
According to the seller, the car is a collector's item because the body and interior have been preserved in perfect condition.
The VAZ-2103 was positioned as a more prestigious model of the Soviet automotive industry, developed on the basis of the Fiat 125, unlike the VAZ-2101, which was based on the Fiat 124. In the seventies, the VAZ-2103 was in high demand and sold for 7,500 rubles, which was two thousand more than the cost of the basic version.
The "Troika," as its owners affectionately called it, was a symbol of status and prosperity. Acquiring such a car was considered a great success, as demand for it significantly exceeded supply. Waiting lists for the VAZ-2103 stretched for years, and people often resorted to connections or overpaid speculators to get their hands on the desired car.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a civilian heavy-duty truck "Ural NEXT" has been prepared for service in the Russian army.
