	ORLY? I hear you say. Yes. I am really selling it this time. I have to go slightly sensible due to an impending mini-Pandamonium due to join the family early next year. The Car; Lada Riva 1500E 1996 MOT Oct 2012 Tax March 2012 The Spec; 90hp 950kg RWD The Modifications Brand new weber carb fitted Suspension lowered to lowest extreme. De-catted, and mostly straight through exhaust. Retro steering wheel Radio cassette 8-ball gear knob Moondiscs The running repairs; Brand new front wings fitted and resprayed Recon front panel fitted and resprayed. Whole body mopped and polished. Recon steering box fitted New track rod ends Usual service items. Ultra bright headlight bulbs Bad points Could do with a ball joint on the centre steering arm - now bought - will fit soon Needs trailing arms on rear (Not fitted) It is a Lada so has so many little silly foibles that you forget stuff. It is amazingly reliable, great fun to drive and gets 30-40 mpg. I am looking for another car, so will listen to swap and trade offers. Will add more pics once my internet is sorted properly. Contact me on O7943 8227O9 Regards, Alan

	Think carefully, Alan.. This is your car and it was always going to be a keeper.. Though I obviously fully appreciate your situation It wouldn't take much to get it 'child friendly'. Infact, I can't really think of much I'd want to change to bring it up to family spec other than maybe some better suspension than very chopped springs. If you ever get tempted by Mk1 Fiestas....

Can you imagine how ridiculous it'd look with full height suspension!

	Don't know why you don't leave it as it is, babies like bumpy cars it helps them sleep. But then the noise of it will keep them awake.

	This will come with loads of spares, and at least one full spare set of wheels.

	seems a shame to flog it after all the work you have put into it...why don't you do this: get a Xantia Tdi - you can pick em up for £200 and they are very underestimated cars - reliable, capable of huge milages and no springs etc to worry about...use that as the family car and jeep the Lada which you can now bung on classic insurance given you will have another daily?
