At the auction in Pebble Beach, the Soviet Niva will be exhibited for the first time

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.

According to the Classic.com website, the “Niva” of the mid-80s cost about 14 thousand dollars, or 1.1 million rubles.
