Usually, as part of PEBBLE Beach Concours d’Elegance, cars that have already deserved a reputation as collection are sold. But due to the change of preferences and hobbies by the Soviet history, Niva may well become an affordable analogue of Mercedes-Benz G-Class or Land Rover Series-this is how Gooding & Company believes in the auction house.
The elegance contest in Pebble Beach and the auction of Gooding & Company is usually associated with ultra-road and rare cars. To evaluate the level of event, a simple example: the most expensive lot of last year’s trading was 1938 Alfa Romeo 8c 2900b Lungo Spider, for which they paid $ 14 million. Agree, the Soviet Niva in the company “Lyanch”, “Mercedes” and “Bentley” looks more than strange. But here is what the organizers say about this.
Gooding & Company
“This is an opportunity to acquire a cultural artifact, a piece of Soviet history of the 1980s at an affordable price. The definition of a collector car is constantly changing, and, given the positive assessment and an element of nostalgia, the Niva can also be in some way a collectible machine. ” True, the price in Gooding & Company is not called – even preliminary. According to the Classic.com website, the “Niva” of the mid-80s cost about 14 thousand dollars, or 1.1 million rubles.
Judging by the Vin-Nomer, the Lada Niva 1600 instance was released for auction for the European market. The mileage of the SUV is 44,114 kilometers. Under the hood – a standard 1.6 engine with a capacity of 75 horsepower. The gearbox is mechanical, four -speed. The drive is complete, with three differentials. Against the backdrop of modern SUVs, all this can and look like a rudiment, but few people can compete with reliability and maintainability of Niva.
