I'm sure most of you all know that my 1996 Lada Riva was made over by Lotus  
cars ltd in 2002, on behalf of BBC Top Gear. It emerged as a complete one off  
with over £100,000 spent on modifying bodywork, suspension, full race tuned 2
litre twin cam engine and a luxurious bespoke interior. sadly I had to sell
it  in 2003 mainly due to financial constraints ( my wife had just given birth
to  our first child) and the car subsequently went to a german Lotus nut.
  Well, The chap is now selling the car, he's setting up a business  overseas
and needs to sell this unique, and very fast (237Kmh) Lada! there were  a few
teething troubles when I sold it on, which he has thrown huge sums of  money
at and managed to sqeeze a few more BHP out of it to boot! (180+  Bhp) he's
spent about 20,000 euro's including the purchase price and is  hoping to re-coup
as much of this back as possible. I realise that this is well  beyond the
means of most of you chaps out there, but there must be someone  interested in
taking this totally unique car on. please spread the word, if  anyone is
genuinely interested please contact me off group. _generalladavich@aol.com_
(mailto:generalladavich@aol....)  
I will then pass your  email onto Stefan and he will  send you a full spec
and photo's of the car, and details of how to contact him  directly. please
please please, NO DAYDREAMERS OR TIMEWASTERS! This car is a  serious bit of kit
and is not for the faint-hearted or the skint!
