The Lada that Top Gear had modified by Lotus is now up for grabs on eBay.
The TV programme took a standard Lada over to Hethel last year and the lads at Lotus descended on it to turn it into a fast, top handling saloon.
They fitted Bilstein dampers, uprated brakes, a unique paint decal scheme as well as specially trimmed OMP racing seats with interior specially tailored to match (black leather with red alcantara).
It's got some nice BBS alloys with Yokohama track tyres and best of all they fitted it with a Fiat 2 litre twin cam engine, stage 2 race tuned by renowned race engineer Guy Croft. That's mated to a Fiat 131 five speed box via a race clutch.
Power? A tasty 180bhp at 5,000 RPM, capable of 0-60 in about 7 seconds and a top speed of 135MPH.
It's got no MOT or tax and the buyer wants cash in a brown envelope!
