1980 Lada Niva Red in 1:18 scale
This is the 1980 Lada Niva Red in 1:18 scale by Solido.
The 1980 Lada Niva carved out a unique place in automotive history as one of the first mass‑produced compact SUVs designed from the outset for serious off‑road use. What set it apart from its competition was its combination of full‑time four‑wheel drive with a lightweight, unibody construction — a contrast to the heavier, truck‑based 4x4s of the time — giving it excellent traction, simplicity, and durability in rugged conditions. Its rugged yet minimalist design, short overhangs, and generous ground clearance made it exceptionally capable on dirt, snow, and uneven terrain, while its affordability and ease of maintenance endeared it to buyers in diverse markets worldwide. By offering true off‑road performance in a compact, utilitarian package long before the SUV boom, the Lada Niva earned a reputation as a practical, go‑anywhere vehicle distinct from more conventional cars of its era.
This exquisite model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
Other features include:
• Opening Doors
• Accurate and highly detailed Interior
• Accuracy of scale and exterior shape
