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.

That is awesome! Good for them.

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.

This car from the Crimea, Ukraine =)
I communicated long ago with the owner, was gone somewhere.


By the way, there is also my car)
