It's time for show off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their own cars, and
here's this week's winner, hi scotty thanks for having me, and this is
my Russian made 1974 lada 21011, it started it's life as a Fiat 124 but in 1969 the Russians
bought the license and in 1970 the company started producing the vast 2101 which was
a more rugged version of the Fiat 124, since the original fiat engine did not have
any space for modernization which was consider unacceptable, it was replaced with a new overhead
camshaft engine which was 1.3 liter and it produced 65 horsepower, it ran on 95 octane
fuel and in this situation it runs on propane gas, which means that the car is hybrid,
it does 26 mpg on petrol and 33 mpg on propane fuel, as you can see, this is a propane conversion,
it goes directly into the carb and mixes with the air and that moves the car around, well
it tries, the car was given steel body panels, due to
the lack of auto repair shops in the Soviet Union, ladas were designed to be easily maintained
by owners, the vast 2101 was sold under the brand in the Soviet Union and branded as the
Lada for export, the name Lada was taken from a type of Viking
long ship, symbolized by the logo badge, inside the car is pretty spacious, you can
fit your whole Slav family in here with no problem, you have space in the back for some
stuff, and it's pretty easy to get in and out, you have a thing that was a radio over
here, the heater, it blows hot and hot, the glovebox with plenty of stuff inside,
the speedometer which is in kilometers, the lights and the fuses, and the choke, you have
as well a lighter, this cable is not important now, yeah it is just there,
one interesting feature of this car is this lever here, when you pull it, the whole seat
can retract back, and you have a lot of space it's like a bed, but if you're not happy when
you pull it, you can twist it as well and that moves the seat forwards and backwards,
let's start her up and see how see works, well that was this week's video and remember,
to have your car video highlighted here on my channel, check this out,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell!
