I seem to remember there was a factory assembling them in Belgium for a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lada mentions some of it, but doesn't sound like regular production. http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/465464678/ discussion also mentions some, but that's a Lada Samara, practically a different car (with maybe lots of innards common to the original).

Had two of those in my time. The first one was completely manual, no metering at all, but it ran perfect 1974-1989, then I screwed it up (a manually wound strip of film, as I was buying Ilford HP4 in those 17m rolls, got unspooled, and the narrow end got caught in the shutter and killed it), so we got another one, this time with an assisting meter (not automatic by any means). That one worked for maybe six or seven years, then developed a mechanical fault - the exposure was generally far longer than it should be.

Now I'm going through digital cameras, presently my fourth one since 2000 (and a pocket one for daughter). They are all still usable, although the first one, an Agfa CL50 (or was it CL30, I'm bad with names) developed a few dead pixels by 2006. It's just that they get outdated and lack manual features. Now with the hand-me-down Canon D40 I have a true DSLR with just the features I want (can do manual focus, can use old lenses). Already made my 12000 shots with it, and it came with previous 8000, and is still practically new.
