RUSSIAN CAR SPOTTED IN BRIGG

You don't see many Lada cars about in the Brigg area these days but we spotted one near the A18 at the weekend.
They were imported in large numbers by ship to the North Bank and there was a dealership in Scunthorpe which sold them from the 1970s onwards.
The example we saw was a later model and a saloon car, rather than the estate version.
They were cheap, compared to British cars of the period.
