However, there are a bunch of them starting from Vaz 2101 (shown on the picture), 2102 was the vagon, 2103, resedisgned 2101. Then 2106, or just "shesterka" had different engine and was again redesigned, and had a name "Lada".
I am not sure why they were called Lada, my Dad said that they were called like that for when they were built to sell abroad, but otherwise I always called it Zuguly. (a broad name for all starting from 2101 to 2121)

Nik,
I thought we we only in the twenty first century. Did I sleep for 100 years ala Rip Van Winkle. If I did my SVXi are over 100 years old and qualify for antique status.
Ron is really, really old, now.
