Design

The Euro-Star is a Lada 2105 which has been converted into an open leisure vehicle with a custom plastic body. The EuroStar has no doors, instead using large fabric panels. There is no rear window either as it has been replaced by a removable fabric panel. The EuroStar features two removable Targa roofs held down by rubber bands and has both a pickup bed and a small enclosed trunk in the rear.[2][3] Mechanically, the EuroStar uses the same running gear as the Lada.[4] Both the EuroStar and Sprinter shared the same body with the only exterior difference being the headlights and taillights, as the Sprinter's taillights came from the Volkswagen LT.
