1994 Bohse Safari Landau

ALPHACARS
Only 6K Miles! 1994 Lada Bohse Safari Landau, 001317

WHY THIS VEHICLE?
This extremely rare Boshe Safari from Germany is a true extinct classic. With only a few hundred ever built by the Bohse manufacturer, based on the Lada Samara of the time. This was an experimental vehicle that showcased some truly unique features. A collapsible rear canvas top with a removable sunroof upfront, reminiscent of the vintage Landau cars from the early 1900s. This classic has been meticulously cared for by its previous owner in Belgium, and mileage was kept low as they knew the importance of keeping this rare vehicle in pristine condition.

"PORSCHE SYSTEMS" ORIGINS
Porsche, besides its activity as a GT manufacturer, also has an engineering office that sells its services to other manufacturers. Porsche intervened both on the engine (optimized combustion chamber) and on the running gear. The Lada 2108 is one of only five cars that were made with the help of Porsche: Audi RS2, Mercedes 500E, Renault Clio V6, and SEAT Ibiza (MK1). While the SEAT powder coated “System Porsche SEAT” on top of the engine valve cover, the VAZ factory selected not to disclose assistance from the German manufacturer to the Soviet masses. But the Bohse Factory was proud to display Porsche’s affiliation with the design of the 2108.

LADA 2108 ORIGINS
The history of the Lada VAZ 2108 (aka Samara and Sputnik) began in 1984 when it appeared in USSR as a 3-door version. In the USSR it was called Sputnik, and Samara was reserved for export variants. The same as Lada; it was called VAZ - a Russian abbreviation for Volga Automobile Factory. At the time it was a radically modern car compared to the other models in the range all derived from the Fiat 124 with the exception of the 4x4 Niva.

HISTORY
The Boshe manufacturer was a Coachbuilder in Germany that would take pre-existing models from their German dealer network and create one-of-a-kind rides. Based on the Lada Samara, the Safari was their second iteration of a beach-going, adventure mobile. Available throughout Europe, this rebranded Lada has remained extremely limited in production numbers, and only a few have survived the test of time. Boshe only built cars for a few years in the late '80s & early '90s. Finding one in such amazing condition was quite a feat and we had to source this one from a dear friend in Belgium. Included with this Boshe Safari is a collection of spare parts, all important brochures, and tool kits from the time.
