I came across this when I was googling yesterday, a Russian 343, 1977 model year, with what looks like a retro-fitted manual gearbox. Thought others may be interested/horrified.

Re: Manual '77 343 in Russia
Rear wheels from a Renault Fuego / R18 and a gear knob from an '80s VW. Looks interesting
If I were a Russian, I'd convert to manual too, unless I was able to do the CVT servicing myself ...

Hi all.
That car has done well to last that long up in Rusky land.
I would have gone for a proper gear knob though
Cheers Mark.
