The VAZ-2103 Zhiguli, sold abroad as the Lada 1500 and nicknamed Troika in the Soviet Union, was the deluxe saloon of the early AvtoVAZ range. It was introduced in 1972 and built until 1984, developed together with Fiat alongside the Fiat 124 Special. It differs from the VAZ-2101 by its double headlights, extra bodyside moulding, larger tail lights and a more powerful 75 hp 1,452 cc petrol engine, with a vacuum brake booster, self-adjusting rear brakes and a better equipped interior with a tachometer and a front panel clock. It was considered a prestigious model and Soviet buyers waited years for one, and its chrome-heavy construction was costly, which led to the simpler VAZ-2106.
