. Looks RHD. Some Volgas were theoretically sold in UK in 60s, but a very mysterious subject. |

According to domestic sources, UK got alot of Volgas. |

Volga never had dealer network in UK (unlike for instance Moskvitch). They are listed as theoretically available from the late 50s in LHD, but only May 63 - Feb 67 in RHD, after which no listing at all. My guess is special order only for "ordinary" customers plus a few for diplomatic purposes, but total sales would be well under 100 each year and probably more like 10-20 at most. I don't remember ever seeing one. |

I saw some reportage on tv about Volga-entusiast's in UK. |

Own they originally "made for GB"-Volgas or did they bought the cars in Continental Europe? |
◊ 2011-12-04 20:52 |
They became a minor UK retro-cult car in 80s and 90s like Trabbis and Tatra 603s, with old ones being bought cheaply in former East bloc and shipped to UK - all the footage would have been LHD?? |

@ingo, GB. With RHD. I remember there was 3102 for sure. Dont remember was there M-21. -- Last edit: 2011-12-04 20:54:59 |

Do you mean true 3102? |

From http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/volga_missing : 4 Volgas were first registered in UK in 1964-66, 1 in 1984 and 9 from 2000 to 2009. That is all. |
◊ 2011-12-05 22:51 |
As RHD and from registration data I'll date 1964+. |

Scaldia didn't made RHD versions for foreign markets. All RHD 21-Volgas vere made on GAZ. |

[21 N] should be added as chassis code. |
