Summer 1992 saw me pass my A-Levels, it was fully my intention to get a Job and start earning real money. In early August I pursueded my Dad to lend me som money to buy a car ( It would help finding and going to a Job…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we trotted of to look at some cars, I quite liked a MK1 Astra estate, hated an FSO Polenez, decided a Type 2 VW camper was too dangerous.. and Eventulay we went to look at some Ladas..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family had had 3 Ladas ( Old 1600, a 1300 and a Riva 1600 SLX!!! ) But I wanted something a little less dated…. ( the RWD ladas were great fun to drive mind!! )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventual we found a cheap Samara 1300L ( F923 EDS ) In off white ( I can’t remember the exact name.. )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was quite a revelation from the old Riva, quite modern in many respects. It was a good little car for the money. Plenty of space, resonably economical, resonably nippy and sort of handled!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had it for two years, the clutch failed which was a nightmare tyring to go up Honister pass with virtualy no grip left in the clutch!! and the Clutch center forgot to put a bolt in so the gearbox mount came loos a couple of weeks later!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then it had a ignition box fault, I thought it was the carb so had that stripped at least 3 times..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventual it was sold to my sister…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
