Busch 87009 TT Lada, White Taxi – Eastern Bloc Classic in 1:120 Scale
Are you looking for an iconic vehicle for your GDR or Eastern European model layout? The Busch 87009 Lada, a white taxi in TT scale (1:120), brings just the right balance of everyday life, history, and detail to your layout. An unmistakable vehicle that shaped traffic in the GDR and still enjoys cult status today.
Lada 2101 – The “Sweetheart” of the East
The Lada 2101—also known as the “Shiguli” in its home country—was based on the Fiat 124 and was produced starting in 1970 in Togliatti, Russia, by the state-owned AvtoVAS automobile plant. As many as 200,000 vehicles rolled off the assembly line in its very first year. With its robust engineering and 60 PS, it was one of the most widespread vehicles in the Eastern Bloc—and as a taxi, it was a familiar sight on the streets of the GDR.
True-to-life taxi model in classic white
This finely detailed ready-to-display model depicts the Lada 2101 as a typical GDR taxi in white paint. The characteristic body shape, understated design, and authentic TT scale model make it an ideal addition to street scenes, train station forecourts, or city squares.
Versatile uses
Whether in front of the train station, at the bus stop, or in the town square—this Lada taxi brings realistic everyday scenes to your layout. The Lada was also widely used in rural areas, at agricultural cooperatives (LPGs), and at state-owned enterprises, making it highly versatile.
