 The Belgian importer Sobimpex N.V. assembled Volgas locally for sale in Western Europe.These were often fitted with diesel engines; the cars arrived in Antwerp without an engine and with the gearbox in the trunk.Originally (beginning in 1960) Sobimpex fitted a 1.6-liter Perkins 4.99 unit, a larger Rover engine supplanted that in 1963, and the more modern four-cylinder units replaced the Rover engine in 1964.
