Its not just the Classic cars that can fall into this group though,...I used to own a Lada Cossack, which was,..and still are as simple as any of the far older cars, yet they are a great 4x4 and will go most places.
... anything the Russians make for their own market is well worth a look at, they are designed with rough handling and easy maintenance in mind,.. the only problem that I ever saw in them was that they rust, that was one of the reasons I sold mine, the other being I needed room for three large dogs
.... but I recommend them as a good preper vehical, just dont expect too much luxury,.. youtube a few off road Lada clips and have a look
This is the Lad Nive,.. but they are basically the same car
