A rare VAZ-2103 model from 1978 in almost perfect condition is up for sale in the Penza region. The seller positions the car as a "time capsule": in 46 years, the car has traveled only 23 thousand kilometers.
The ad notes that the car has completely retained its factory configuration, all elements are original, the documents have been updated, and the seller has been the sole owner in recent years. The car is painted in a golden color, the steering is left-hand drive, and the drive is rear-wheel drive.
The offered model is equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 77 hp, a four-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive.
The cost of the car is 1,500,000 rubles. For comparison, VAZ-2103 models from 1974 previously appeared on the market for 2–3.5 million rubles, which makes the current option relatively affordable for collectors. The car is interesting as an object for a collection or as a gift to an enthusiast of the domestic automotive industry.
VAZ-2103 was mass-produced from 1972 to 1984 at the Volga Automobile Plant. In total, about 1.3 million cars of various modifications were produced.
