The Heart of the Zhiguli: 1970s LADA Instrumentation

To sit behind the wheel of a vintage Lada is to experience a specific era of Soviet industrial ambition. These Original Dashboard Instruments are the primary interface between driver and machine, salvaged from a 1970s-era vehicle that was recently upgraded with a custom interior. Known domestically as the "Šestyorka" (The Sixth One), the VAZ-2106 was a masterpiece of longevity, remaining in production for three decades. This set—featuring the speedometer, fuel gauge, and water temperature meter—retains the stark, functional clarity required for navigating the vast expanses of the USSR. Whether you are performing a concours-level restoration or building a custom retro-tribute, these OEM parts provide the authentic analog soul that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.
