someone spent a lot on aftermarket plastic on that one...

but read closely... "THIS SALE IS FOR A TOW BAR AND FITTINGS REMOVED FROM A 1996 LADA COSSACK THAT WERE CURRENTLY BREAKING FOR SPARES"

The importers bolted all that plastic to the last Nivas in the UK. Biggest rust trap ever. Trivia moment: That plastic body kit was designed by Rover while they were owned by BMW.

was designed by rover

Thats no surprise as in a previous life they were called bmc, austin, british layland and then rover !!! they also produced some ugly looking cars and build quality was simular to LADA lol.

Yes, Read that bit. May be worth somebody local to the seller getting in touch and asking if they want to sell all of the car.

One mans scrapper is another mans repair. picked up a Old Fourtrack on the way to the scrappers MOTed it and Ran it for years.

If the yard has followed DVLA procedure and the paperwork has been done it ain't going back on the road.

Always worth asking the question. There is a yard near me takes cars in and either brakes them or sells them as spare and repair. they have a car sales pitch of about 50 vehicles for sale.

i suppose it depends if the Old owner sent the log book back to DVLA.

Landrover owners just Ring Em...!!lol
