If you've not seen our full Niva ‘Launch’ review yet (link below), then please do; however, we couldn't resist pulling out what some might say are the 'best bits' for a bonus (mini) film. Including some ‘new’ very badly shot phone footage (by Mrs CarPervert) of Jonny quite literally fixing the mess he got himself into. Mrs CP had filmed the footage on a whim and not with a view of putting it on YouTube, but you've all asked to see some 'fixing footage', so this is the best we can do.

The brand new 2021 Lada Niva Legend 4x4 is just as hard to kill as the Niva born to the Soviet world in 1977, but better made. Jonny inadvertently put the Niva's reputation of invincibility to the test during the exclusive UK test drive. All was going just fine until he encountered what we now know is a fairly unfriendly puddle in the Tixover quarry offroad course. No cones or signs mentioned that what he presumed was a shallow slip way, was in fact a huge step that had claimed the lives of numerous mud pluggers. In fact, it had sunk a Unimog a few weeks previous. A UNIMOG.
