Today's car of the day is Bauer's 2000 Lada 112.

The Lada 110 or VAZ-2110 is a compact car built by the Russian automaker AvtoVAZ from 1995 to 2009. It spawned two close derivatives: the Lada 111 estate and the Lada 112 hatchback. The Lada 112 was introduced in 1999 leading on from the previous Lada 110 and 111, and is somewhat more modern and luxurious-looking than the traditional Ladas. The car is relatively popular in Russia. Coming with a 1.5 through 1.6 litre inline-four engine with about 90 hp (67 kW) in either 8 valve or 16 valve versions, the Lada 112 could reach a maximum speed of 185 km/h and move from 0-100 km/h in 12 seconds. It came with a five-speed gearbox and rear drum brakes.

I don't know anything about the brand Bauer, outside of their name appearing on the base of this Russian Lada 112 model. Several years back, I ordered this car along with a bunch of the Welly Autotime Russian models, from a dealer in Russia. There were other colors and other Bauer models, but they were expensive enough that I limited myself to only a couple, as a sampling of the brand.

There were three trim level: Standard, Normal, and Luxe. The Standard trim level included clock, heated rear windows, electro-door locks, power door locks, power trunk lock, onboard control system, immobilizer, body-color bumpers, seat trims tweed and tapestries, front head restraints. The Normal featured powered windows, exterior mirrors with antidazzle effect, velour seat and door upholstery, and rear head restraints. In the Luxe the owner also received heated front seats, trip computer, fog lights, electric and heated outside mirrors, velvet upholstery and doors, a trunk spoiler with brake lights, and tinted windows. The model has been a favorite target for styling, both artisanal and professional, especially the version with the five-door hatchback body (Lada-112).

I am familiar with the name Bauer as a slot car manufacturer, whose cars are ridiculously pricey--$100 for one HO scale slot car, while Auto World sells theirs (utilizing the same Thunderjet chassis) for $20.

Looks great!

:thumbup: Another new brand to me - and a fairly nice looking model of the Lada 112.

Sort of reminds me of a Renault 11/AMC Encore.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Very nice and looks well done. Thumbs up to Bauer for a good job and especially on a car not established in the big world markets.
