I think it's a mk3 3dr 340 manual gearbox. Not a GL or something because it has open headrests.

My 360 GL has open headrests, might be different with 340 and also can be that we had bit different options here (like heated seats as standard).

340 it looks like from side strips and even it is bit hard to see, I would agree that mk3.

But it doesn't have foglamp holes in the front-beam and it has small side-strips, so it has to be a 340. It has closed-bumper caps so it's a manual gearbox. And it has open headrests so it's a basic one ;)

Very likely it is indeed.

Well, in Finland it would be rare to find something else than most basic models :lol:
