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.

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
