Rare diesel Zhiguli with factory engine put up for sale

A rare VAZ-21 045 with a diesel engine, produced in 2002, went on sale in Tomsk. The car with a mileage of 200 thousand kilometers has retained its original engine and gearbox, as well as its only owner. The seller valued the copy at a rather modest 250 thousand rubles.

A rare VAZ-21 045 equipped with a diesel engine was discovered on the Drom classifieds website. This car, located in Tomsk, attracts attention not only for its uniqueness, but also for its history. Under the hood is a naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter VAZ-341 engine with a power of 53 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission.

Diesel versions of the VAZ-21 045 were not mass produced, but were assembled at AvtoVAZ pilot production from 2000 to 2003. The presented car, manufactured in 2002, has traveled only 200 thousand kilometers and has retained its original owner. The seller valued the rare specimen at a rather modest 250 thousand rubles by today’s standards.

In the fall, another unique car was put up for sale – an export VAZ-2105, discovered in Tolyatti. This sedan with only 10 km on the clock retains factory seals on most of the doors and was not prepared for sale as the side mirrors and windshield wipers were missing.
