any ideas what that thing sticking out of the rear arm rest is?

ETA electric quarterlight windows! Can't say I've seen those before.

That does look very tidy - haven't seen a Commander for ages

Friend had a hatch one

I'm into old Vauxhalls and I like seeing that, but I don't find myself really wanting to buy it.

A Cavalier Calibre though? Lead the way!

I feel as thought people would need to nod their head in respect as I stepped out.

Massive want, parents already unhappy as 1 of my cars is already stored at their house ....

Can't believe it is in budget too!

Used to be one locally but it's been SORNED for ages

I used to see one near my parents' house all the time, but that was around 1996

Not as naff as you think. If it is anything like the equivalent taxis, it will open and close itself by using that...

That does look very cool. The curtains creep me out a little bit though.

The finish of it is naff, looks like a kids made in it metalwork class

Definitely a new record for a Lada - £8295!!

I thought most of the other prices were pretty reasonable.

With Russian dashcam videos showing the number of Ladas getting scrapped by the day, that value is only going to go up.

Much want.

I have a bit of a thing for Omegas... the V6 strikes me as the closest thing we ever got to a Holden Commodore - and I've heard the engine bay is cavernous so a less intact example would make a good home for an LS.

They can take a V8 but I think it'd be cheaper and easier to spend more on a Commodore or Monaro really

There was a V8 Omega concept back when they were in production but it never made it to the market. Something about overheating issues IIRC.

I have a 3.2 MV6 wagon and I love it.

I also used to have this about 12 years ago but had to sell it because it got too old for the company car allowance... >.<
