1978 Lada Niva Restoration

Trips with the Niva 2

This trip was a little over 300km, I took the Niva in the mountains, to the Mount Princeton Hot Springs in Buena Vista, Colorado. It was a trip with altitudes reaching 9000 feet or higher along the way. Needless to say that the 1800cc engine had to work really hard to get us up the hill. Since the engine was still in the break-in period, it actually got better along the way. 05/04
