The car’s story
The Lada 1200 is the export version of the VAZ-2101. More than 57,000 were exported to East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Hungary, and later to France, Austria, Nigeria, Egypt and even Ethiopia.
Foreign buyers purchased Ladas not only for personal use but also for municipal needs. This miniature represents a real taxi from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia and of the African Union.
The VAZ Lada 1200 Addis-Abeba model was originally made for the Italian Taxi del Mondo, or Taxis of the World, magazine series. IXO Models later released it in its regular range.
