VIDEO: Lada Niva across England, entirely offroad

I didn't think it possible for me to want a Lana Niva but this Fifth Gear video has made me want one, I mean really want one.

Here is a tough, solid as nails 4x4 crossing England from west to east, entirely off-road.

Of course the Niva was on sale in Malaysia for a brief moment in the late 1980s and early 1990s but it didn't catch on, pity.

Video after the jump

Luckily we may have an alternative in the form of the Mahindra Scropio.

I am gonna call up USF and do me a video just like this.

In fact I may just get that opportunity as in two weeks time the DRB-Hicom group, which owns USF is takign journalists into the jungles of Belum....
