We have a raging controversy among Volgaists whether UK Volgas were built in Belgium. At the moment all the M-21 saloons are entered as if they were, but none of the M-22 estates.

There is one line in that link that says (translated):

Quote "Right-Hand Drive" Volgas were exported to countries that drive on the left, but they were Soviet-built

Also, this 1964 british car review doesn't mention any Belgium plant or the fact that they were brought over from Belgium:
