The last Lada Classic to be built has rolled off the production line in Russia - and who knows, this one might actually increase in value for historical significance.
The state car maker, AvtoVAZ, announced in May that the last models in the Classic series would be built this year, ending four decades of production.
Although the subject of numerous jokes, a selection of which can be viewed below, the Classic was once prized by its nation and was a intrinsic part of Soviet history. More than 17 million vehicles in the seven-model series have been sold. Its demise could be viewed as a sign of Russia's reduced status as foreign competitors began to diminate the home market.
The Classic, born from a link-up between fiat of Italy and the former Soviet government, was viewed as an affordable - albeit unreliable - car but outside the Soviet Union, it was ridiculed with top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, branding the Classic as "simply the worst car ever".
Lada aficionados need not despair though - newer model such as the Kalina will still be available.
