That is really a beautiful car! My interest for cars like this actually started with a restoration job I had from a previous client who opted not to claim the finished car after learning of the quite steep price that was incurred by the whole setup.

I polished it even more and have been using it since. Really one of the better non show for claim day, quite frankly.

My 1973 2103 is ready and last Thursday it passed the FIVA qualification of classic vehicles.
This is how it looked when it was new with the first owner:


This is how it looked when I found it:



Some more pictures about how it looked.

And this is the car now:




And the restoration progress

To honor the 40th anniversary of the start of production of the 2103 (which is today 12th December), our club prepared some publicity in Hungary.
Today's lead article is about the model in the largest Hungarian car magazine, there is a huge photo gallery to the article. There is gallery with archive pictures as well.

We made a small video during the photo shooting as well with English subtitles: http://youtu.be/zB8SLeKDuXg

Hi
I haven't been here for a while, but I'm the owner of the swedish Vaz 2103 that you mentioned erlier.

I've been hung up on another big projekt - an Opel Rekord van from 1979, but now I'm back

It's a really fantasic job you have done to the 1973 2103!

I saw your 2103 youtube video today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB8SLeKDuXg and it is very inspirering so this year I will drive my 2103 more as it's a fantastic car in its own way!

Just to remind you, this is my car:



Norbert: I realize that you wrote me more than a year ago about detail pictures of my car and I'm deeply sorry I newer found the time to write you back - Let me now if you are still interrested.

@Lada2103 are you still looking for a front wing?

Hey, I myself are always busy and overdue with a lot of things, so I know the feeling, and of course I remember, and still interested.

The video... that turned out to be unexpectedly good, even AvtoVAZ put it on their page, and Klassiker in Sweden.

And yet another one, a very old 2102 from Austria, where it was sold under the market name Lada RL Universal


More pics here and here

This is a very early (1972/73) version of 2102, original tyres are cross ply and the wheel is 2101. You may notice, that the interior of the car is almost intect, that is due to that it only has 35000 kms (20k miles) in it, than it was mainly standing on the yard, which did not help preserve the exterior.
The wheels on it are from 1981 and with winter tyres, unfortunately the summer tyres were stored on the back seat and left a mark on the seat. Anybody with an idea how to remove the stain? Usual cleaner agents like gasoline, nitro thinner does not work.
