In Russia, a 1993 VAZ-2106 sedan with a remarkable life gap of only 63 kilometers over three decades has appeared on the market, according to Auto.ru Magazine. The story of a car barely touched by time has drawn attention from collectors and enthusiasts who follow rare relics of the Soviet and post-Soviet automotive era.
Now, a six-generation sedan, described as new, is being offered through an advertisement in Nefteyugansk, located in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. The asking price is 2 million rubles, a figure that positions the vehicle above a typical Lada Vesta and on par with a Lada Vesta Cross equipped with a 1.8-liter engine and a CVT. The high price reflects the car’s exceptional preservation, limited mileage, and its status as a time capsule rather than a practical daily driver.
The red sedan has spent its entire life under a single owner. It features a 1.3-liter carbureted four-cylinder engine that delivers 64 horsepower and is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Photographs indicate the car remains in its original factory condition, showing no signs of corrosion. The reasons for not using the car for more than 30 years have not been disclosed, leaving potential buyers curious about its past and the care it has received over the decades.
In a separate, equally intriguing piece of automotive news, a much larger vehicle once exhibited in Moscow, described as a 12-meter Hummer, has been offered for sale at a surprisingly low price. This item adds to the atmosphere of unusual and collectible vehicles surfacing in the Russian market and drawing attention from both seasoned collectors and casual observers alike.
