VAZ-2104 (known as the Lada Riva in the United Kingdom and the Lada Nova in much of continental Europe) are a series of medium-sized family cars built by Russian car manufacturer AvtoVAZ, introduced in 1980 in the Soviet Union, and progressively in other European markets through the early 1980s and sold in saloon and estate versions. AvtoVAZ cars are currently branded as Ladas. (WIKI)
