Lada Samara Night - the most "clear" Eight was exported

Cars VAZs sold well abroad in Soviet times. It’s not that they were superior to foreign models of the same budget class, but they weren’t much different from them until the early 80s. Soviet cars had one feature for foreigners – they were cheaper. This is explained simply – the USSR needed currency. It’s not a big deal that its citizens don’t have enough cars – they pay in rubles. By the way, cars for export were traditionally assembled and processed better. You can’t disgrace domestic products in front of foreigners. And their own will buy them anyway, any, just give them. That’s why in the late 80s and early 90s, export Ladas were actively brought back to the USSR. They can still be found, often in factory paint.

Today, the author of the HelloTachka channel will introduce you to one of the rarest export models. This is Lada Samara, she is "Eight". But not simple, but performed by "Night". It was distinguished by a sports body kit and not only. They say that now this car is less common than the Ferrari and Lamborghini of those years of production. Like it or not, it's hard to say. But that the “Eight” turned out to be “clear” is unambiguous. Ordinary boys from the 90s dreamed of such. By the way, numerous cooperatives that appeared happily stamped plastic body kits for VAZ, AZLK and GAZ cars.
